It is well known that smoking is harmful to health, but many smokers still smoke regularly. Respiratory diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and various cancers caused by smoking have become a reality. Authoritative experts from Zunyi Century Andrology Hospital have warned male smokers that smoking poses many dangers to men. As long as they can quit smoking as soon as possible and maintain good living habits, they can regain their health
Smoking: the curse of sexual dysfunction
A comparison of smoking and non smoking cases showed that the incidence of penile erectile dysfunction in the smoking group was 40% (10% in the non smoking group), premature ejaculation was 28% (22% in the non smoking group), and penile peripheral vascular lesions were 25% (8% in the non smoking group). The data show that the incidence of sexual dysfunction in the smoking group is much higher than that in the non smoking group.
According to experts from Zunyi Century Andrology Hospital, a large amount of smoking and nicotine in the blood can cause the contraction of blood vessels in the male penis, which can hinder smooth blood flow, affect the blood circulation of the penis, and inhibit the levels of plasma and testosterone. These factors will directly lead to the occurrence of male sexual dysfunction.
Smoking: Killer of testicular spermatogenesis
Experiments on long-term and heavy smoking in rats have shown that harmful substances in tobacco can interfere with the material exchange between the microcirculation of the testis and the environment, leading to testicular edema, congestion, degeneration, necrosis, and atrophy, reducing reproductive cells, and reducing the ability to produce sperm.
Among the large number of male infertility cases received at Zunyi Century Andrology Hospital, a significant number of patients have smoked heavily for a long time. Experts say smoking can also lead to atrophy of the testicles and a decrease or cessation of sperm production in men. In addition, among male smokers, α- A significant decrease in glycosidase (a functional marker secreted by the epididymis) affects the maturation process of sperm in the epididymis, leading to a decrease in sperm activity and spermatogenic ability. Smoking can also cause penile artery contraction, changes in testicular and epididymal hemodynamics, and hinder spermatogenesis and maturation.
Smoking: the stumbling block of sperm "sprint"
The sperm density, normal sperm morphology, and forward motility of smokers were significantly lower than those of non smokers.
In a study of 655 smoking and 1131 non smoking infertile men at Zunyi Century Andrology Hospital, it was found that the sperm density, total sperm count, and motile sperm count of smokers decreased significantly by 15. 3%、17。 5%、16。 6%。 In addition, the normal morphology sperm rate and rapid forward movement sperm rate in the smoking group were significantly lower than those in the non smoking group. This can lead to sperm swimming in the female body towards the egg cells "unable to cope", increasing the probability of infertility.
