Boosting Fertility: Quit Smoking with Bute Pharmacy

At Bute Pharmacy, we understand that the journey to starting a family is an important one for many individuals and couples. One significant but often overlooked factor affecting fertility is smoking. If you’re looking to improve your chances of conception, quitting smoking should be a top priority.

How Smoking Affects Fertility

Smoking has been linked to various reproductive health issues for both women and men. For women, smoking can lead to:

• Reduced Ovarian Reserve: Fewer healthy eggs can be produced.
• Ectopic Pregnancies: Increased risk of pregnancy occurring outside the uterus.
• Menstrual Irregularities: This can complicate the overall fertility process.

For men, smoking can impair sperm quality by:

• Reducing sperm count and motility.
• Causing DNA damage in sperm, which can affect embryo development.

According to the NHS, quitting smoking can significantly enhance fertility outcomes and overall health.
