Effect  of  smokiing  on  iinfertiilliity
Infertility refers to the condition in which a female not getting 
pregnant, although by having carefully timed, unprotected sex for one 
year.
The cause of infertility 
may be difficult to 
determine but may 
include inadequate levels 
of certain hormones in 
both men and women, 
and trouble with ovulation 
in women. Smoking, 
alcohol and drug are the 
major problem of 
infertility in both male 
and female. The effects of 
smoking on male 
reproductive part (sperm) 
and female reproductive 
part (ovum) are affected.
Effect of smoking on MALE
Sperm concentration: Sperm concentration refers to the number of 
sperm found in a measured quantity of semen. Studies have shown a 23 
percent decrease in sperm concentration in men who smoke.
Sperm motility: Sperm motility refers to the swimming capabilities of 
the sperm. If sperm cannot swim properly, they may have trouble 
reaching the egg and fertilizing it.
Sperm morphology: Sperm morphology refers to the shape of sperm. 
Oddly shaped sperm may not swim well enough to get to the egg and 
may not be able to fertilize an egg. Male smokers have fewer healthy 
shaped sperm than non-smokers.
Harmful toxins are found in cigarettes are frequently to blame for bad 
health effects. Smoking exposes men to high levels of cadmium that have 
been linked to decreased fertility. Heavy smoker were found to have 
higher levels of cadmium in their semen.
But these toxins may not be the only factor. Zinc levels may play a role. 
Male smokers who had lower zinc levels in their semen also had poor 
s perm concentration, movement, and shape.
On the other 
hand, in 
smokers who 
had normal 
semen zinc 
levels, there 
were still issues 
with sperm 
concentration, 
motility, and 
morphology, 
but the degree 
of abnormality 
was less.
Effect of smoking on 
FEMALE
Women who smoke do not conceive as efficiently as non-smokers. The 
risk for fertility problems increases with the number of cigarettes 
smoked daily.
Even fertility treatments such as IVF may not be able to fully overcome 
smoking’s effects on fertility. Female smokers need more ovary-
stimulating medications during IVF
Smoking damages the genetic material in eggs and sperm, 
miscarriage and offspring birth- defect rates are higher among 
patients who smoke. Smokeless tobacco ,drugs, drinks, alcohol and 
other harmful products also leads to increased miscarriage rates. 
Women who smoke are more likely to conceive a chromosomally 
unhealthy pregnancy than non-smoking mothers. Ectopic pregnancies 
also occur more often among female smokers.
