Meth User. Trying For A Baby. Semen Analysis Done. Any Suggestions?
Question: Im currently in the process of going through testing for infertility. 4 years of marriage, and no baby. My husband is a previous meth user (drug) if hes been off of it for some time will it be ok now? He goes in for semen analysis this thursday. any details would be appreciated..
hello
thank you for writing in to HCM
A user of meth - if he is used to inhaling the drug or injecting the same - there might a lower sperm count More often the problem is with sexual function
The semen analysis may probably a lower motility in few of the past users
However it will be advised appropriately after the preliminary screening is done and an initial report is obtained
wish you all the best

So then most likely the meth did not hurt his sperm?
hello again
As I mentioned it can affect the sperm motility
We also need to keep in mind if there are other causes present for altered sperm parameters
