There are always men who say: I used to smoke, but now I just quit, I used to drink, and now I don't drink anymore in order to prepare for pregnancy.
Do men need to quit smoking and drinking to get pregnant, and for how long?
The following will be explained in detail for you.
Do men have to quit smoking when trying to get pregnant?
1.Smoking can cause damage to the arteries and blood vessels in men, and smoking for a long time will increase the risk of atherosclerosis, resulting in a significant decrease in blood pressure index and a significant decrease in blood transfusion, thereby inducing erectile dysfunction in men.
2.Spermatogenesis is characterized by a rapid proliferation of the number of cells and the differentiation and maturation of cells. This process requires a large amount of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and proteins, and tobacco is rich in inducing gene mutations and carcinogens, which increase the sensitivity of sperm to acidic mutagens, resulting in an increase in malformed spermatozoa and sperm DNA chain breaks
3.Because seminal vesicle fluid and prostatic fluid are important components in the prostate, it plays an important role in the coagulation, liquefaction and sperm motility, and the nicotine, tar, nitrite acid, carbon monoxide and other harmful substances in cigarettes can not only directly poison the prostate and seminal vesicles, but also affect the blood circulation of the prostate and seminal vesicles, which will affect the quality of the prostate and seminal vesicles, thereby causing infertility.
Do men have to quit drinking alcohol to get pregnant?
1.Alcohol not only lowers the levels of hormones**, follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone in men, but also increases estrogen levels, which reduces sperm production and changes sperm morphology. Long-term alcohol abuse can affect conception and embryonic development, leading to congenital mental retardation and an increased incidence of malformed children, resulting in infertility.
2.Alcohol can cause gonadal toxicity, severely damage the stromal cells, inhibit the synthesis of testosterone, and reduce the level of androgens, thereby causing loss of libido, impotence, and male infertility.
The doctor of the reproductive department reminds that the existence time of alcohol in the body is about three days. After quitting smoking for three months, the physical fitness can be well recovered. And the manufacturing process cycle of tadpoles is about 90 days, that is, about three months. If you want to have a healthy baby, quit smoking and drinking at least 3 months before you get pregnant.
In addition, in order to achieve the goal of eugenics, it is recommended that both men and women prepare for pregnancy undergo fertility evaluation examinations, so that fertility problems can be detected as soon as possible and preparations for pregnancy can be carried out more smoothly.
