As is well known, smoking and drinking alcohol are not beneficial for the growth and development of children. A fetus whose parents both enjoy smoking and drinking will definitely not develop as well as a child whose parents live a normal life. However, most people only know that these two behaviors are not good for the fetus, but the exact impact is still unclear. Below, let me talk about the impact of male alcoholism on the fetus.
The impact of male alcoholism on the fetus
Due to the fact that the main component of alcohol is ethanol, ethanol can damage reproductive cells and render fertilized eggs unhealthy.
Getting pregnant after drinking alcohol can also cause intrauterine growth retardation in babies, dysfunction of the central nervous system after birth, and various deformities in the face and body, such as defects in the heart structure and various deformities in hands, feet, fingers, etc. The intelligence after birth is also lower than that of ordinary babies. So the impact of men drinking alcohol on the fetus is very significant.
The impact of male smoking on fetuses
1. The number of normal sperm in male smokers has decreased, with an average reduction of about 10%. If smoking 21 to 30 cigarettes per day, the incidence of abnormal sperm is significantly increased, and if smoking more than 30 cigarettes, the incidence of abnormal sperm is even higher.
2. The longer the smoking time, the more abnormal sperm there will be, and as the number of normal sperm continues to decrease, the sperm motility will also weaken. This not only reduces the fertility rate, but also affects the quality of offspring. The concentrated substances in cigarettes contain carcinogens, which are also present in the body fluids of smokers. Sperm exposed to these carcinogens is prone to genetic damage.
3. The birth rate of congenital malformed infants in pregnant women whose husbands smoke is about 2.5 times higher than that of non-smoking husbands. If the husband smokes without avoiding it, pregnant women will also inhale tar and nicotine floating in the air.
In summary, during pregnancy or pre pregnancy, it is necessary for both partners to create a good living environment and regulate their daily routines in order to ensure that the child grows and develops as well as possible. Pregnant mothers should also supplement their children with targeted nutrition, so that the child can grow healthier and develop more fully. When the delivery day arrives, pregnant mothers will also feel more relaxed.
