Viagra (trade name: Viagra) is hailed by many men as the "holy pill" for treating erectile dysfunction. However, a specialist in male plastic surgery at the Men's Plastic Surgery Network has warned that these small blue pills can affect sperm activity and reduce men's reproductive ability.
American scientists observed the effect of Viagra on sperm in men aged 18 to 44 in the laboratory and found that the activity of sperm decreased by 50% due to Viagra. They pointed out that the drug used in the test has a smaller dosage than usual, so in normal times, the impact of Viagra on sperm activity will be more severe.
According to statistics, a considerable proportion of elderly men take Viagra, and childbirth is no longer a concern for them. Therefore, drug manufacturers have not paid attention to the impact of Viagra on reproductive ability. It is reported that sperm must swim a long distance in the female reproductive tract in order to combine with the egg. Viagra causes sperm to become "lazy", which inevitably reduces the success rate of conception.
Researchers point out that many young people taking Viagra nowadays have no indication for taking the medication and are simply abusing it. Young people often use this medication, which ultimately affects their reproductive ability. So, young people without erectile difficulties should not take Viagra if they want to have children.
