What are the effects of male smoking on the fetus?

Many male friends in families have the habit of smoking. When pregnant women are pregnant, some men cannot control themselves and smoke in front of them. They also smoke before pregnancy. These are bad behaviors, which are extremely harmful to the fetus. They also have many harms for women. So let's take a look at what harms men smoking can cause to the fetus?

The number of normal sperm in male smokers decreases, with an average decrease of about 10%. If you smoke 21 to 30 cigarettes a day, the incidence of abnormal sperm increases significantly, and the incidence of abnormal sperm is even higher for those who smoke more than 30 cigarettes. The longer you smoke, the more abnormal sperm there are, and as the number of normal sperm decreases, sperm motility will also weaken. This will not only reduce the pregnancy rate, but also affect the quality of offspring. The birth rate of congenital malformations in pregnant women whose husbands smoke is about 2.5 times higher than that of pregnant women whose husbands do not smoke. If the husband smokes and does not avoid it, the pregnant woman will also inhale tar and nicotine floating in the air. If both husbands smoke, the fetus will be more seriously harmed.

Therefore, if a couple plans to have a baby, they should quit smoking before pregnancy. As an expectant mother, first of all, she should not smoke, and at the same time, she should also persuade the expectant father not to smoke, and go to entertainment places surrounded by smoke less often, to provide a clean living environment for the baby in the womb.

It is best for the husband not to smoke or drink before or after his wife becomes pregnant. Smoking is especially harmful to the fetus. Nicotine produced in tobacco can cause respiratory infections in pregnant women. Nicotine can also enter the mother's body through the skin and gastrointestinal tract, and enter the fetus through the blood and placenta. There is indeed a clear relationship between the child's deformity and mental retardation and the father's smoking. For the health and intelligence of the next generation, fathers should quit smoking, at least not before their wives become pregnant, and not smoke in the same room after their wives become pregnant, to create a good air environment for mother and child.

Secondhand smoke, like smoking, has a very negative impact on the fetus. Pregnant women who are in a smoky environment will have their immunity reduced, and are more likely to catch a cold, have a headache, or even get cancer;

Smoking during pregnancy, or both parents smoking, can have a serious impact on fetal development. In addition to premature birth, weight loss, slow growth and other phenomena, congenital cataracts, pigment membrane defects, microcornea, retinal hemorrhage and other eye diseases may also occur. The harm of toxic substances in smoke to passive smokers is no less than that to active smokers, and sometimes even greater than that to active smokers. Studies have shown that passive smoking or smoking by pregnant women affects the intrauterine development of the fetus and causes fetal malformations.

So, it's still about both parties. When you are pregnant, you should avoid contact with smoke. Smoking is harmful to health, which is something everyone understands. When a woman is pregnant, not only does she need the man not to smoke, but if she encounters someone smoking after going out, she should avoid it in time for the health of the child, so that the child will not suffer any adverse harm. Then the man must quit smoking for three months before having a child.
