OMS a studiat dovezile din ultimii 25 de ani despre impactul fumatului asupra fertilității și a prezentat concluziile

The WHO has reported that smoking negatively impacts fertility in both men and women, reducing chances of conception and success rates of fertility treatments. Women who smoke face a 40% higher risk of infertility compared to non-smokers. The organization emphasizes that quitting smoking can lower infertility risk by 25%. Additionally, smoking is linked to male reproductive issues, including erectile dysfunction and poor sperm quality. The WHO also notes that smoking may decrease the success rates of assisted reproductive technologies like IVF. Ongoing research is needed to understand the effects of newer smoking devices on fertility. Health professionals are urged to inform couples about these risks.
