The Impact of Smoking on Male Fertility: A Focus on Reproductive Health

Impact of Smoking on Male Reproductive Health:

Understanding the Mechanisms:

  • Oxidative Stress: Smoking generates reactive oxygen species, which can damage sperm DNA and impair their function.
  • Inflammation: Chronic inflammation caused by smoking can negatively impact the reproductive system.
  • Hormonal Disruption: Smoking can interfere with the production and regulation of hormones involved in male reproductive function.

Long-Term Consequences:

  • Infertility: The combined effects of reduced sperm quality, erectile dysfunction, and hormonal imbalance can lead to infertility.
  • Increased Risk of Miscarriage: Sperm with damaged DNA are more likely to result in miscarriages.
  • Reduced Offspring Health: Children born to fathers who smoked during conception may be at increased risk of health problems, such as low birth weight and developmental delays.

The Role of Secondhand Smoke:

  • Exposure: Even if you don't smoke yourself, exposure to secondhand smoke can have negative effects on your reproductive health.
  • Impact: Secondhand smoke can damage sperm DNA and reduce sperm count, similar to direct smoking.

The Importance of Quitting:

  • Benefits for Reproductive Health: Quitting smoking can significantly improve sperm quality, reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction, and increase the chances of conception.
  • Other Health Benefits: Quitting smoking also has numerous other health benefits, including reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and lung cancer.

Seeking Help to Quit:

  • Support Resources: There are many resources available to help people quit smoking, including counseling, medication, and support groups.
  • Tailored Approach: A healthcare provider can help you develop a personalized quit plan that is right for you.
By understanding the harmful effects of smoking on male reproductive health and seeking help to quit, individuals can improve their chances of having a healthy family and overall well-being.

The impact of smoking on female reproductive health.. Early rupture of membranes, reduced fertility, and increased rate of chorionic detachment

The impact of smoking on female reproductive health:
Low fertility.
2 - increase the rate of spontaneous stress of the embryos.
3 - increase the rate of separation of chorion.
4. Early rupture of membranes.
  Previous factors reduce the ability of women to have children.
5. Menopause is advanced early (one or two years) compared to non-smokers.
Passive smoking: involuntary inhalation of smoke from smokers in the surrounding environment.

Risk physiological female genital mutilation.. Infertility, urinary retention, infertility, infertility and chronic encephalitis

FGM is female genital mutilation, usually African, not Pharaonic, and has no religious origin
Physiological (organic) love for FGM / C:
1. Infection: Circumcision is performed in rural areas in unhealthy conditions using sharp non sterile tools (scalpel, mousse, scissors, glass).
The result is infection:
- Viral diseases: viral hepatitis C - B and AIDS.
- Tetanus bacterial diseases.
2 - severe pain: where the process of circumcision without anesthesia or sedatives.
3 - severe bleeding.
4 - chronic encephalitis.
5. Greenhouse warming.
6 - delay and stumbling of the menstrual cycle.
7. Infertility and infertility.

The main principles of reproductive health .. Non-marriage of relatives and spacing between pregnancies and breastfeeding to give the child natural immunity

- To reach the legal age of marriage to ensure that the spouses reach the stage of maturity to take responsibility.
- Non-marriage of relatives to avoid the collection of unwanted genetic traits that are not visible in parents.
- Pre-marital medical examination to avoid transmission of organic or genetic diseases.
- Pay attention to the health of pain during pregnancy so that the fetus gets the important elements necessary for its growth.
- Spacing between the pregnancy and the next period to restore the health and psychological state of the mother that allows her to carry a new pregnancy.
- Breastfeeding to give the child natural immunity, and prevention of diseases.

The functions of the hormone testosterone from the testicular.. Maturation of organs of the reproductive system and the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics

Testosterone, which is produced by the testis, works on:
* Maturation of organs of the reproductive system.
* The emergence of manifestations of puberty in the male (secondary sexual characteristics) such as:
- Coarse sound.
- Growth of armpit hair, pubic, chin, mustache.
- Muscle growth.

Functions of estrogen and progesterone of the ovaries .. Maturation of organs of the reproductive system

Estrogen and progesterone are secreted from the ovaries and work on:
- Maturation of organs of the reproductive system.
- Appearance of manifestations of puberty (secondary sexual qualities) such as: breast growth - accumulation of fat - softness of sound - the appearance of hair in some areas of the body - menstrual cycle.

The function of the male reproductive system.. Producing sperm and male hormone - testosterone

Male reproductive function:
1- Production of sperm.
2 - Production of the hormone masculine (testosterone).
Q: What is the function of each part?
  Composition:
1 - testicles: two oval eggs surrounded by the scrotum to protect the testes and provide the appropriate temperature for the production of sperm so it expands and shrinks depending on the temperature of the atmosphere.
The reason: Are the testes outside the body?
Because body temperature (37 ° C) does not allow the formation of sperm where it needs to a lower degree (35 degrees Celsius).
Testicular Composition: Composed of
Spinal tubes: The lining of their cells (called sperm cells) is divided into sperm.
B - Interstitial cells: located between the tubes (cause of the label) secrete hormone testosterone (testosterone).
Testosterone function: It works to show male sexual characteristics such as the roughness of sound, strength of muscles and bones and hair growth on the face.
2- The epididymis: It is a highly twisted channel connected to the testicle base (the place of storage and maturity of sperm before passing to the vessel).
3- Carrier vessel: A channel following the epididymis meets the urinary canal to form the urethra (the urogenital canal).
4 - Endocrine glands: Three glands secrete semen on semen to form semen.
5 - penis: Member of sexual intercourse in the male contains blood vessels have a role in erection.
Function: Connect the sperm to the female vagina.

Composition and erection of sperm .. Head. Nucleus. Body. neck. the tail

Sperm vitality (ie, live survival) depends on:
1- Their number.
2. Quality.
3- The extent of its activity in semen.
* Composition: Consists of sperm from cells in the testis (sperm cells of semen).
* Installation of sperm: composed of three regions are:
1- Head: Contains:
  A nucleus (N = half chromosomes).
B - Body: contains enzymes that help penetrate the shells of the egg at fertilization.
2. Neck: contains many mitochondria to supply the sperm in motion.
3. Tail: Member of the movement (pushing the animal inside the female genital canal towards the egg).

The impact of smoking on the reproductive health of women .. early rupture of membranes and low fertility and increase the separation rate chorionic

Low fertility.
2 - increase the rate of spontaneous stress of the embryos.
3 - increase the rate of separation of chorion.
4. Early rupture of membranes.
  Previous factors reduce the ability of women to have children.
5. Menopause is advanced early (one or two years) compared to non-smokers.
Passive smoking: Voluntary inhalation of smoke from smokers in the surrounding environment.

The impact of smoking on reproductive health of males .. The decrease in the number of sperm in sperm, delayed fertilization and decreased fertility rate

1 - decrease the number of sperm in the sperm.
2 - increase the recurrence of the appearance of abnormal sperm (abnormal).
3 - delayed fertilization and decreased fertility rate.
4 - the occurrence of sexual impotence or impotence:
- Smokers are more likely to be sexually incapacitated than smokers for about 1.5 times.
Eighty-one percent of the patients with a sexual disability were smokers.
