Does frequent drinking cause male infertility?

Patient's question:

I have always loved drinking beer. We keep wanting to have children, but it just isn't working. I still drink beer very heavily. Now that I think about it, it really makes me very sad. I don't know if drinking beer so often has caused male infertility for me.

Doctor's answer:

The impact of alcohol on sperm is persistent and severe, leading to male infertility. To protect male fertility, it is advisable to either increase alcohol consumption or abstain from drinking. If this cannot be avoided, alcohol consumption should be strictly prohibited for the three months before the wife becomes pregnant. This is also a full responsibility for the next generation. Infertility conditions are prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, male patients should actively seek professional and reputable medical diagnosis and consider treatment based on detailed examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
