Patient's question:
My husband is just like a drunkard, drinking every day. There are many business dinners at work, and sometimes he also drinks with friends. Although he doesn't drink a lot each time, he basically drinks every day. We've been married for over a year and haven't dared to have a child. I just heard that drinking can also lead to male infertility. I don't know if it's true.Doctor's answer:
Hello, drinking is not only a major enemy of eugenics but also one of the factors or causes of infertility. Excessive drinking can endanger the function of the reproductive system, lead to endocrine disorders, and cause changes in the structure and number of germ cell chromosomes. In the semen of long-term drinkers, the number of sperm decreases, their motility weakens, and the incidence of impotence, infertility, and male feminization significantly increases. Alcohol can also hinder the development and maturation of female oocytes. Long-term alcoholism can increase infertility and the birth of malformed infants.
