Does alcohol n smoking affect men's fertility n sex life ?

In today's era the lifestyle of people is influencing their health and the events that take place in a healthy body. When we talk about the abusive substances as in alcohol and smoking, they hinder the physiology of body be it men or women.

Natural fertilization is achieved when a healthy male produces millions of sperm with enough of them motile and reach the female genitals to end up in fertilization; but  the alcohol abuse and smoking decreases the chances of fertility by either decreasing the sperm count or ceasing the sperms to live or to swim till the fallopian tube of their female partner. 

Here are the ways in which these abusing substances affected the male fertility:

When we consider the male fertility it gets affected by alcohol and smoking as:
  • Alcohol consumption lead to impaired testosterone production. 
  • Alcohol results in atrophy of testis resulting in impotency, infertility and withdrawal of male secondary sexual characters.
  • This lead to deterioration of sertoli cells by the ill influence on hypothalamus- pituitary-gonadal complex and retards the hormonal secretion leading to impaired libido and hinder sperm production. 
Smoking is hazardous to both the active and passive smokers thus along with the person smoking tobacco and nicotine like carcinogens it affects the passive smokers too who inhale the toxic smoke.
  • Smoking lowers the semen quality and thus provide less sperms  for fertilization affection the mortality  and mobility of the sperm.
  • Even mild smoking show the immotile sperms in 40% cases.
  • In heavy smokers , the sperm loose motility even after ejaculation.
  • The viscosity of semen increases with reduction in semen volume slowed liquefaction period due to the ill effects of smoking over the seminal vesicles.
Thus alcohol consumption and smoking even mild or severe affects the semen quality,  secondary sexual characters in males including the libido, reduces the sperm mortality and mobility and thus in turn result in infertility in men. 

How Can IVF help you with this?
