Does Cocaine Lower Sperm Count?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Yes. Even infrequent use of cocaine can cause a temporary 50% decrease in sperm.
    It is also known to decrease motility, or the 'quality' of sperm, ie. How easily it can swim towards the egg etc. And augments the penetrating quality of the sperm, so that they are less effective at fertilization.

    Hi my fiance was an addict of crack cocaine and he used it for many years, now that he is off it and we are trying to have a baby what are the chances of me getting pregnant. Do you think that his sperm has builded itself back up or will it possibly take more time to build back up?

    It would depend entirely on how long he's stayed clean. However sperm count is generally known to replenish quite soon after an absence of the drug. As I said above - it 'can cause a temporary 50% decrease'. Stress on the words 'can cause' and 'temporary'.

    Hope this helps.
