WHO Reports Link Between Smoking and Infertility

The World Health Organization reveals a direct link between smoking and infertility, noting that the risk of infertility in women who smoke is increased by 40% compared to non-smokers. Additionally, women who quit smoking are 25% less likely to experience infertility. Smoking causes damage to the ovaries and eggs, hormonal imbalances, menstrual irregularities, and raises the risk of miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy. It also affects men by reducing sperm count by 13-17%, weakening sperm motility, deforming sperm shapes, and damaging sperm DNA. The organization warns that passive smoking also raises the likelihood of infertility and emphasizes that smoking hampers the success of fertility treatments like IVF. Providing advice to quit smoking before pregnancy is very important, as stopping can improve fertility prospects and the health of future children. It is a crucial step toward achieving the dream of fatherhood.
