What happens to children born from drinking?

As people become more and more knowledgeable, they pay more and more attention to many aspects of life. For example, many couples now do various examinations before getting pregnant, and then try their best to get their bodies in good shape before having a baby. Many men have to socialize for work reasons. When they are preparing to have a baby, they cannot quit drinking. What will happen to the child they saved? Let's learn about the effects of alcohol on sperm~

1. What are the effects of men drinking alcohol on sperm?

How much of an impact does drinking have on sperm? Alcoholism is the enemy of sperm. Long-term and heavy drinking can cause 70% of sperm to become underdeveloped or lose their vitality. Although drinking is inevitable in daily life, it must be done in moderation. Otherwise, it will harm your health and affect your fertility, which will not be worth it.

Drinking heavy alcohol not only harms the liver, but studies have shown that it can also damage sperm, thereby reducing reproductive ability. Drinking large amounts of alcohol can lower testosterone levels and reduce the quality and quantity of sperm. Alcohol causes gonadal poisoning, severely damages testicular interstitial cells, inhibits testosterone synthesis, causes a decrease in serum testosterone levels, thereby causing loss of libido, sperm deformities, and leading to male infertility.

It is worth noting that even sperm damaged by alcohol can fertilize an egg and give birth to a deformed freak or a mentally retarded child. In foreign countries, such children are called "Sunday children", and it is believed that they are the result of couples having sex and getting pregnant after drinking heavily on the weekend. Therefore, couples who are planning to get pregnant should pay more attention and limit their drinking in the three months before pregnancy.

Studies have shown that the sperm inactivity rate in men with alcohol poisoning is as high as 80%, and the sperm morphology abnormality rate is as high as 83%. Therefore, it is recommended that men should quit drinking or drink in moderation to reduce the incidence of necrospermia.

In order to ensure male reproductive health, alcohol intake should be strictly limited. Taking 600-proof liquor as an example, the amount of alcohol consumed per meal should be controlled within 20-30 ml. If you drink wine or beer in moderation, you can relax the limit to 50-100 ml, but do not exceed 250 ml. At the same time, it should be noted that only one type of alcohol should be consumed at a time, and multiple types of alcohol should not be consumed together to avoid causing greater harm to the body.

Does drinking alcohol affect fertility in men?

If men drink alcohol frequently, it will affect the quality of their sperm. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that alcohol is a substance that promotes dampness and heat generation. If men drink too much, it will disrupt their sperm and affect their offspring. Zhang Jingyue, a famous doctor in the Ming Dynasty, said that "the spirit is disordered by alcohol". Since alcohol has a paralyzing effect, sperm is also likely to be anesthetized by alcohol, resulting in poor sperm quality. Modern Western medicine also believes that alcohol has an impact on sperm and eggs. Long-term drinking can lead to chronic alcohol poisoning and cause infertility.

When couples of childbearing age drink heavily, a large amount of alcohol is absorbed into the blood circulation in a short period of time, causing great harm to various systems and tissues throughout the body. Because human reproductive cells (including sperm and eggs) are particularly sensitive to stimulation from some chemicals (such as alcohol, cottonpol, etc.) and physical factors (such as overheating, strong electric current, ultrasound, etc.), when the reproductive cells poisoned by alcohol combine to form a fertilized egg, its growth and development is often not normal.

Therefore, it is recommended that couples who are planning to have a baby must quit drinking and smoking within six months before pregnancy. For the sake of the intelligence and health of the next generation, and from the perspective of eugenics, it is best for everyone to try not to go to bed when drunk.
