Does smoking affect male infertility?

Patient's question:

My body has always been very healthy with no problems, but my wife and I have been married for many years without having any children. It has been weighing heavily on my mind. I have smoked for a very long time and I am afraid it will affect my wife's ability to get pregnant.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, nicotine and other chemical substances in cigarette smoke can cause obstacles in sperm formation, leading to abnormal or dead sperm, which affects fertility. The main factors or causes of male infertility include low sperm count, high abnormal sperm rate, poor motility, as well as ejaculation dysfunction or obstruction of the seminal fluid output pathways. Many congenital diseases and acquired conditions, such as chronic health issues, unhealthy lifestyles, and various other factors including living environment, diet, medication, and daily habits, are all significant factors or causes of male infertility.
Advice: It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. While undergoing treatment, it is advisable to take Jinghuo Su to comprehensively improve sperm quality, the number of normal-shaped sperm, motility, seminal fluid volume, and liquefaction of seminal fluid, among other sperm indicators, thereby increasing the success rate of pregnancy. Additionally, quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Maintain a balanced and nutritious diet.
