Patient's question:
I often have to socialize and stay up late, smoking and drinking are common, will this affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and staying up late are common factors affecting sperm quality. The main toxic component in tobacco is nicotine, which can reduce the secretion of sexual hormones and kill sperm. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to testicular spermatogenesis dysfunction and changes in endocrine hormones, thereby affecting sperm quality. The impact of staying up late on sperm is even more significant. After performing a semen analysis after working night shifts, most people's results show abnormal semen parameters. However, after getting sufficient sleep and retesting, the results often improve significantly.
