Unhealthy Lifestyles Have Little Impact On Sperm Quality

Date: 15.6.2012 

Lifestyle advice given by doctors to men diagnosed with infertility should be radically overhauled according to research published June 13.

However, a team of scientists from the Universities of Manchester and Sheffield have found that many common lifestyle choices make little difference to male fertility, based on how many swimming sperm men produce.

Dr Andrew Povey, from the University of Manchester's School of Community Based Medicine, said: "Despite lifestyle choices being important for other aspects of our health, our results suggest that many lifestyle choices probably have little influence on how many swimming sperm they ejaculate. For example, whether the man was a current smoker or not was of little importance. The proportion of men who had low numbers of swimming sperm was similar whether they had never been a smoker or a smoker who was currently smoking more than 20 cigarettes a day. Similarly, there was little evidence of any risk associated with alcohol consumption.
