Smoking can not only impair the fertility of women - and men who want children as possible should give up cigarettes. In one study it was shown that sperm of smokers are significantly less mobile and viable. In addition, the genetic material can be changed in the sperm. Cum In smokers, the researchers were able to cotinine - the breakdown product of nicotine - demonstrate in significantly higher concentrations than in non-smokers.
The number of sperm was also significantly decreased in smokers. In addition, the studies showed an altered ratio of histones to protamines in the sperm, which genetic information can be damaged, which in turn can affect the healthy development of sperm. Results in sperm with reduced mobility and less stable outer skin - a possible cause of decreased fertility. It is also conceivable that not only the fertilization of the egg cell is disturbed, but also…
