Effect of smoking on infertility :-

Infertility refers to the condition in which a female not getting pregnant, although by having carefully timed, unprotected sex for one year.

The cause of infertility may be difficult to determine but may include inadequate levels of certain hormones in both men and women, and trouble with ovulation in women. Smoking, alcohol and drug are the major problem of infertility in both male and female. The effects of smoking on male reproductive part (sperm) and female reproductive part (ovum) are affected.

Effect of smoking on MALE :

Sperm concentration: Sperm concentration refers to the number of sperm found in a measured quantity of semen. Studies have shown a 23 percent decrease in sperm concentration in men who smoke.

Sperm motility: Sperm motility refers to the swimming capabilities of the sperm. If sperm cannot swim properly, they may have trouble reaching the egg and fertilizing it.

Sperm morphology: Sperm morphology refers to the shape of sperm. Oddly shaped sperm may not swim well enough to get to the egg and may not be able to fertilize an egg. Male smokers have fewer healthy shaped sperm than non-smokers.

Harmful toxins are found in cigarettes are frequently to blame for bad health effects. Smoking exposes men to high levels of cadmium that have been linked to decreased fertility. Heavy smoker were found to have higher levels of cadmium in their semen.

But these toxins may not be the only factor. Zinc levels may play a role. Male smokers who had lower zinc levels in their semen also had poor sperm concentration, movement, and shape.

On the other hand, in smokers who had normal semen zinc levels, there were still issues with sperm concentration, motility, and morphology, but the degree of abnormality was less.

Effect of smoking on FEMALE :-

Women who smoke do not conceive as efficiently as non-smokers. The risk for fertility problems increases with the number of cigarettes smoked daily.

Even fertility treatments such as IVF may not be able to fully overcome smoking’s effects on fertility. Female smokers need more ovary-stimulating medications during IVF

Smoking damages the genetic material in eggs and sperm, miscarriage and offspring birth- defect rates are higher among patients who smoke. Smokeless tobacco ,drugs, drinks, alcohol and other harmful products also leads to increased miscarriage rates. Women who smoke are more likely to conceive a chromosomally unhealthy pregnancy than non-smoking mothers. Ectopic pregnancies also occur more often among female smokers.
