Is there a relationship between male infertility and smoking?

Patient's question:

Previously, it was checked that it was male infertility. I want to know if there is a relationship between male infertility and smoking?

Doctor's answer:

In the smoke, there are large amounts of harmful chemicals such as tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide, which are harmful to the body. Tar can significantly reduce sperm count, while chemicals like nicotine can hinder sperm formation, leading to abnormal or dead sperm. Therefore, smoking can clearly cause male infertility. It is recommended to quit smoking early.
Infertility can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor, use medication appropriately, and avoid sitting or riding for long periods. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene.
