Effects of Alcohol on Male Fertility
Alcohol is bad for fertility. Too much alcohol can affect the quality of your sperm and it can dampen your sex drive. If you want to maintain your fertility and your ability to produce a baby, you should limit your alcohol intake or much better, avoid drinking alcohol altogether.
Medical studies have ascertained through clinical test that even just 4 ounces of alcohol intake daily is already bad for a person‘s health. The problem with drinking alcoholic drinks is that it is doubly hard for a man to limit his drinking more especially so if he is in a celebration of some kind with his friends. If beer is served in an occasion as in a birthday of your friend for example, you cannot just limit yourself to 8 bottles of beer. The best way is to avoid drinking alcoholic drinks altogether if you have this fertility problem and want to address it.
This is how Alcohol Works to Destroy Fertility in Men 
- In large amount, alcohol becomes a toxic substance that would destroy healthy cells that would produce sperm cells. Atrophy of men’s testicles can also be caused by too much alcohol. Most alcoholic men usually have very low levels of sexual urge due to a disease known as gynecomastia caused by alcohol intake.
- Medical tests have found that changes in the make-up of the testicles can lower the T serum in our sperm that can led to infertility. Alcohol consumption can effectively cause the structure of our testicle to change, thereby lowering the T serum component of our sperm resulting to infertility.
- Alcohol can effectively decrease the density of our sperm count. It can also mutilate the normal shapes and sizes of our sperm. Too much alcohol in our system would tend to make our sperm have abnormal shapes and even without tails. This actually is the reason why many alcoholics cannot hope to have children because their sperm have been damaged by continues alcohol intake.
- Morphology is the quality of your sperm. Either you are fertile because you have a good sperm morphology which would mean the density is good and the sizes and forms of your sperm are normal or, you are infertile because you have a bad morphology which would mean the density is insufficient and the size and shapes of your sperms are abnormal. Too much alcohol can give you bad sperm morphology.
If in case you are in doubt of your semen morphology and you would like to verify its quality, you can visit your Urologist and have a semen analysis. However, if you would like to save on cost, you can purchase a semen analysis test kit and do your testing in the comforts of your own bedroom.
A cheaper way to buy a semen test kit is through the different sites in the internet. Besides, they can send you your test kit delivered right at your doorstep in a very discreet way through freight carrier services. Also, you can seek advice from forums and discussion boards if where you can buy such test kits at affordable prices.
