Vaping versus smoking’s impact on male fertility
Male partners in IVF couples who switched from smoking to vaping experienced improved sperm quality and decreased miscarriage rates, according to a study on E-cigarette versus traditional cigarette use. While vaping showed benefits, experts caution about the risks for hopeful parents. The study compared sperm parameters and IVF outcomes between E-cigarette and cigarette users, revealing fewer miscarriages and increased live-birth rates among vapers. Despite the improvements, established predictors like FSH levels remained crucial. Researchers stress that vaping does not guarantee success, advocating for further research on E-cigarette risks and fertility counseling. Lifestyle choices continue to impact assisted reproduction outcomes, emphasizing the importance of quitting smoking for prospective parents.
