Nowadays, not only is the number of smokers in China increasing day by day, but the proportion of smokers in the world is also very large. Among these groups, the number of male smokers is the highest. The importance of preparing for pregnancy has been proven, but many men with children say that smoking is not normal for children, and many people know the dangers of smoking. So, can men preparing for pregnancy smoke?
Can pregnant men smoke
Research has shown that long-term smoking in men not only damages the lungs, but also easily leads to a decrease in interest in sexual activity, erectile dysfunction, and even a reduction or deformity of sperm count, resulting in male infertility.
The study also found that the rate of sperm abnormalities is related to the number of cigarettes smoked. The concentrated substances in cigarettes contain carcinogens, which are also present in the body fluids of smokers. Sperm exposed to these carcinogens is prone to genetic damage. The longer you smoke, the more you smoke, and the greater the harm.
Nicotine in cigarettes is a mutagenic substance produced by sperm, which are naturally delicate and easily damaged. Smoking can affect the maturation and proliferation of reproductive cells. So childless men should develop good lifestyle habits. Good sperm not only increases the fertility rate, but also is a prerequisite for eugenics.
In addition to smoking, men preparing for pregnancy should also pay attention to the following three aspects
1. Wear less tight pants. Experts emphasize that do not wear pants that are too tight, and of course, do not wear underwear that is too tight. Tight pants, synthetic materials, and excessively high temperatures have been shown to affect male reproductive ability.
2. Take fewer hot baths. Frequent hot water baths can reduce sperm count. Staying in hot water above 40 ℃ for more than half an hour will reduce male sperm count. Sauna, steam room, and whirlpool warm water bath should also be avoided.
3. Drink less alcohol. Alcohol can have a serious impact on male sperm quality and affect the chances of conception. Especially for men with long-term infertility, it may have a greater impact.
For today's society, male pregnancy preparation has become a routine event. Don't be surprised, but treat it with care and attention. Men preparing for pregnancy are not allowed to smoke and it is best to quit drinking because smoking and alcohol have potential harm to the body. Therefore, for men who smoke, it is best to quit smoking, have a reasonable diet, strengthen physical exercise, go to bed early and wake up early, and regulate their body before getting pregnant.
