Patient's question:
Because I often work the night shift alone, it's hard for me to quit the habit of smoking. I almost smoke a whole pack of cigarettes every day. I've been married for almost two years, but I haven't had any children yet. After my wife had a thorough check-up at the hospital, the doctor said there were no problems. Does smoking have anything to do with male infertility?Doctor's answer:
Smoking is related to male infertility to a certain extent. Men who smoke frequently are more likely to suffer from sexual dysfunction. Excessive smoking and alcohol consumption can reduce sperm motility, even lead to abnormal sperm or sperm damage, affecting fertilization. This can lower the incidence of infant deformities and developmental delays. For infertile patients, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and targeted treatment, and pay more attention to self-care in daily life to avoid spicy foods.
