Does Smoking Make You Infertile?
There are numerous diseases that have been linked to smoking. It affects not only the smoker but his/her family too. Heart diseases, lung cancers, tuberculosis are considered to be some of the deadly diseases related to smoking. But do you know that smoking makes you infertile as well?
SMOKING RISK: HOW LONG WILL YOU LIVE? FIND OUT
That’s true; researches across the globe have come to the conclusion that smoking effects on fertility can be clearly linked. Be it male or female, smoking makes you infertile to a great extent.
And the effects of smoking are not just limited to primary smokers. Secondary or passive smokers too are at great risk. Whether you smoke or your partner smokes, it is going to cause equal damage to the fertilisation capacity of both partners.
Effects
of
smoking
How
does
smoking
affect
the
fertility
of
an
individual?
You
could
be
asking
this
question
yourself
since
smoking
is
not
directly
related
to
the
reproductive
system
as
it
is
related
to
the
lungs.
When
you
inhale
the
cigarette
smoke,
you
take
it
into
your
body
and
allow
it
to
get
absorbed.
When
absorbed,
it
is
bound
to
show
‘results’.
Following
are
some
of
the
effects
smoking
has
on
fertility
of
both
males
and
females.
Low
sperm
count:
The
more
the
number
of
sperms,
the
higher
the
chances
of
conceiving.
But
when
the
sperm
count
dips,
the
fertilising
chances
are
bound
to
go
low.
Low sperm motility: This refers to the swimming capacity of a sperm. The better a sperm swims, the more chances it has of fertilising an egg. With a poor swimming capability, the sperm will hardly be able to reach the egg to fertilise it. Though not a direct infertility case yet, it does affect the fertilisation capacity.
Hampered egg transportation: Smoking makes you infertile if the egg faces difficulty in transportation through the fallopian tube to the womb. If the egg is not able to reach the womb, there will be no chances of fertilisation.
Damaged DNA: Smoking effects on fertility have also been seen in the form of damaged DNA. When a sperm or egg contains damaged DNA, its fertilisation capacity is severely affected. Even if fertilised, the chances of miscarriages always persist.
Erectile dysfunction: When a man suffers from erectile dysfunction, he will have trouble getting and maintaining an erection. One possible cause of this problem is smoking and hence, it can be said that smoking makes your infertile.
Hormonal
imbalance:
With
multiple
chemicals
entering
the
blood
stream,
the
hormones
of
both
males
and
females
are
affected.
With
hormones
being
affected,
the
reproductive
system
of
the
body
also
goes
for
a
toss.
Early
menopause:
Smoking
affects
fertility
as
the
eggs
loss
rate
shoots
up
in
females.
These
lost
eggs
cannot
be
replaced
and
it
further
leads
to
early
menopause
which
in
turn
means
reduced
chances
of
getting
pregnant.
