According to the infertility doctors in Kolkata, infertility and smoking is directly proportional to each other.
Men who smoke regularly can have erectile problems and can face difficulties in keeping erections. The DNA in the sperm gets damaged due to smoking and hence is one of the root causes of infertility.
The sperm is produced in men all the time . But sperm take about three months time to mature. This is the reason why an adult male is required to quit smoking three months before he plans to b a father.
An alarming fact is also that more than twenty cigarettes a day by an adult male at the time of conception multiplies the child’s risk of having leukemia.
As in men, women also have a chance of high risk in pregnancy if they have a regular habit of smoking.
The best sexologist doctor in Kolkata says, women who smoke in pregnancy are more exposed to chances of miscarriage than non-smokers. Their babies have increased risk of low birth weight, being born prematurely and having associated birth defects. If women smoke very often during pregnancy, including inhaling other people’s smoke (passive smoking) it can affect the development of a baby girl’s ovaries. As per statistics every cigarette increases the risk of miscarriage by one percent.
As per the sexologist in Kolkata smoking increases a woman’s risk of having an ectopic pregnancy, where the baby starts to develop outside the uterus, most commonly in the fallopian tube, where it will not survive, and may be a cause of life risk for mothers.
