The current life situation has given us a lot of pressure, and many men still need to improve their stress relief methods, because most gay men choose to smoke and drink to solve the problem. This approach is not good, because if couples want to have a baby, both men and women need to quit smoking in advance. How long can men quit smoking before they can conceive?
How long can men quit smoking and prepare for pregnancy
It is recommended that both husband and wife consider preparing for pregnancy after quitting smoking for 3 months. The maturation of sperm in men is about 3 months, and of course, 6 months is better. The same applies to women. The harmful substances in tobacco are irreversible if they cause harm to the fetus. It would be even better if one could quit smoking, even if the child is born in a smoke-free environment. Second hand smoke has a significant impact on the child's memory and future learning ability.
The hazards of male smoking
1. Smoking increases the chance of blood vessel blockage. The corpus cavernosum of the penis has many microvessels, and insufficient blood supply can lead to decreased sexual function, impaired erection and endurance, aggravated premature ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction. In addition, smokers have a high risk of vascular atherosclerosis. Clinical experience shows that smokers can inhibit the production and activity of sperm, reduce the chances of conception, and have a greater impact on women.
2. After a meal, the amount of blood circulation increases, and nicotine is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, making people feel excited and their heads light. In fact, smoking a cigarette after a meal is more harmful than regular smoking. After meals, the body's calorie intake increases significantly, and smoking can hinder food digestion and affect nutrient absorption. At the same time, it also causes direct damage to the stomach and duodenum, leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction and possibly causing symptoms such as abdominal pain.
Whether it's planning to have children or suggesting that everyone reduce their smoking frequency for the sake of their health, or completely quit smoking, it's best because smoking not only harms one's own health, but also requires people around them to inhale secondhand smoke. The harm of secondhand smoke is not less than that of direct smoking, and the best thing is to hope to quit smoking for oneself and one's family.
