Patient's question:
I am generally in good health, but I have the habit of smoking. Currently, I smoke a pack of cigarettes every day. I have been married for over two years, but for some unknown reason, we haven't been able to have a child yet. The adults in the family are very anxious. Is this related to smoking?Doctor's answer:
The smoke contains a large amount of harmful chemicals such as tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide, which are harmful to the body. Among them, tar can significantly reduce sperm count, while chemicals like nicotine can cause obstacles in sperm formation, leading to the production of abnormal or dead sperm. Therefore, smoking can significantly cause male infertility, and it is recommended to quit smoking early. For infertile patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If not treated in a timely manner, it will affect the physical condition.
