Описание: Smoking Affects Fertility

Smoking was a major part of my life for a long time. My wife Olivia and I knew that we had to give them up if we wanted to have successful IVF treatment. We knew that smoking affects fertility negatively so we had no choice but to give up. Despite giving up two and half years ago, cigarette cravings still creep up on me at least once per week and I have given up 2 and half years ago. Occasionally, I miss cigarettes but they are potentially the reason for my infertility and two failed IVF treatments.

European Urology analysed 5,000 men in 2016 and delved deep into how smoking affects fertility and sperm health. It is probably obvious that the study found smoking negatively impacted the healthy sperm. The motility, morphology sperm count were all affected adversely. Smoking also reduces the chances of IVF success rates and increases the chance of miscarriages. Olivia once said that she could never give up smoking. Once she discovered that smoking had a negative impact on the IVF success rate we both gave up. Having a reason to give up makes quitting a lot easier.
