Every year on May 31st, the World Health Organization (WHO) observes World No Tobacco Day, highlighting the dangers of tobacco use and promoting healthy lifestyles. At Vatsalya Fetal Medicine Center, we recognize the importance of this day, particularly for those planning a family. Tobacco use, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and smokeless tobacco, can significantly impact your fertility and the health of your pregnancy.
The Shadow of Tobacco on Fertility:
Reduced Sperm Quality: Tobacco disrupts sperm production, motility (movement), and morphology (shape), leading to difficulty achieving fertilization and a higher risk of miscarriage.
Delayed Conception: Studies show that smoking can significantly delay pregnancy for both men and women.
Impacted Egg Health: Smoking can decrease the number and quality of eggs a woman produces, shortening her fertile window.
Increased Risk of IVF Failure: Tobacco use can reduce the success rates of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) procedures.
The Dangers of Tobacco During Pregnancy:
Premature Birth: Smoking increases the risk of your baby being born too early, leading to potential health complications.
Low Birth Weight: Babies exposed to tobacco in the womb are more likely to be underweight, impacting their development.
Placental Abruption: This serious condition occurs when the placenta separates from the uterine wall, depriving the baby of oxygen and nutrients.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS): Smoking during pregnancy and exposure to secondhand smoke after birth are major risk factors for SIDS.
