What are the harms of smoking to the penis?

Many teenagers start smoking before their bodies are fully developed, especially students in school. They usually don't study well and always live with people with bad habits. In this case, they will develop a smoking habit. Smoking is very harmful to the body. If men smoke, it will harm the penis. The penis is a reproductive organ. This organ helps men give birth in the future. So what are the harms of smoking to the penis?

Smoking is a common phenomenon in the male world. The harm of smoking to human health has been determined, but the impact of smoking on sexual function, especially the effect of causing impotence, has not yet attracted people's attention. The mechanism by which smoking causes sexual dysfunction is unclear. According to analysis, nicotine in tobacco can directly stimulate the sympathetic ganglia (α-adrenergic effect) and indirectly stimulate the adrenal medulla to release adrenaline, causing small arteries to contract, which can reduce arterial blood flow during penile erection. Atherosclerosis caused by long-term smoking can also affect penile arterial blood flow. For example, adult male dogs have reduced penile arterial blood flow after inhaling smoke, and the increase in arterial blood flow and cavernous body pressure when stimulating the penile cavernous body nerves is lower than before inhaling smoke, and cannot induce full penile erection.

The effect of smoking on penile venous reflux was observed by clamping the abdominal aorta of animals and perfusing the corpus cavernosum with physiological saline. The low-speed perfusion pressure of the corpus cavernosum did not change before smoking, but it quickly dropped to the baseline. Smoking not only reduces the blood flow of the penile artery, but more importantly, it destroys the venous flow limiting mechanism during penile erection. Smokers have a significant impact on sperm production, maturation and abnormality. The longer the smoking time, the more abnormal sperm there are, the number of normal sperm is constantly decreasing, and the sperm motility will also weaken, which is undoubtedly not conducive to fertility. Therefore, quitting smoking not only helps to restore sexual function, but also helps fertility.

Smoking is definitely very harmful to the penis. If you haven't had any children yet, you must quit your smoking habit. Protecting your penis is the most important thing. If the penis is not well maintained, it will affect later fertility and cause fertility difficulties, which will also cause family disputes. Smoking will also affect the lungs, so it is necessary to check and then treat the symptoms.
