Medical Video: Smoking Causes Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema
You are a smoker, but are you trying to have children? It's a good idea to stop smoking now. This action can be the best decision that can be made for your health and fertility.
Smoking can cause infertility
Smokers are more likely to have fertility disorders than non-smokers. If you have been smoking for years, or are used to spending several cigarettes every day, your risk of developing fertility disorders will increase.
When you smoke, more than 700 chemicals enter the entire body and spread to various organs of your body. Some commonly found fertility disorders are as follows:
- Ovulation problems
- Genetic problems
- Disorders of the reproductive organs
- Disorders of the egg or early menopause
- Risk of cancer and fetal disorders or miscarriages
In addition, smokers who are undergoing treatment or fertility assistance will need more time to get pregnant. Smokers will also have a tendency to give birth to babies with health problems.
Passive smoking can also be affected by fertility disorders
If your partner is a smoker, give motivation to quit. Being passive smokers is tantamount to smoking chemicals through cigarette smoke which will endanger your fertility. In fact, experts state that the dangers of passive smoking are the same as active smokers! Being exposed to cigarette smoke for just a few days can adversely affect health and fertility.
Being passive smokers is also associated with the causes of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). If you are pregnant, you and your partner must stop smoking to maintain the health of the baby in the womb.
Smoking increases the chances of pregnancy and miscarriage
Pregnancy disorders, even miscarriages, can be very worrying. Smokers have a greater chance of experiencing pregnancy and miscarriages compared to non-smokers, because the toxic substances from cigarettes have such an adverse effect. In addition, smoking poses a direct risk to health during pregnancy, such as premature babies and ectopic pregnancies (pregnancies outside the uterus).
Despite being warned, millions of women of productive age still smoke. In the end, they have sacrificed their own health and the baby that will be conceived later.
Smoking and fertility disorders in men
Men who smoke have the opportunity to develop fertility diseases as follows:
- Decreased sperm count and sperm movement problems (hard to swim and penetrate the egg)
- Hormone problem
- Erectile dysfunction - it's hard to get an erection or can't maintain it
If you are trying to get pregnant and fail because your partner is a smoker, give enthusiasm to stop smoking. The faster you stop smoking, the faster your chances of getting pregnant are getting bigger.
Then what is the solution?
To support your efforts to maintain health and reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases, quitting smoking will also help you increase the chances of pregnancy. It takes several months to clean up all the bad things from your body's system - everything related to smoking, the threat of fertility, and poisons in the body. Give a moment to your body; wait a while until the body is in optimal condition to try again to get pregnant, after you and your partner stop smoking.
Smoking is a bad habit that is unfortunately difficult to stop. You need adjustment, completion, and support to make it a goal. Always remember why you should stop smoking; You can do it, you will be able to have a beautiful and healthy baby later.
