Women who are obese or smoke during pregnancy 'can low sperm count in sons'


Women who are obese or smoke during pregnancy can cause their sons to have a low sperm count in adulthood, according to researchers.


Experts warned that a mother’s lifestyle could have a “major impact” on her son’s future sperm.

In fact, choices she makes during her lifetime can be even more important than those he makes during his, at least for sperm production, they believe.


Low sperm count is an increasing problem among young European men. The problem can lead to men being unable to have children.
