Vaping Could Shrink Testicles and Reduce Sperm Count, Study Finds

A new study published in the journal Human Reproduction has found that vaping could have a negative impact on male fertility. The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, found that men who vaped had smaller testicles and lower sperm counts than men who did not vape.

The study involved 450 men, of whom 150 were current vapers, 150 were former vapers, and 150 had never vaped. The researchers measured the size of the men’s testicles and their sperm counts. They also asked the men about their vaping habits and their health history.

The researchers found that the men who vaped had significantly smaller testicles than the men who did not vape. The average testicle size of the vapers was 1.75 milliliters, compared to 2.06 milliliters for the men who did not vape. The vapers also had lower sperm counts, with an average of 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen, compared to 22 million sperm per milliliter for the men who did not vape.

The researchers believe that the chemicals in e-cigarettes could be responsible for the negative effects on male fertility. These chemicals can damage the DNA of sperm cells, which can lead to infertility.

The study’s findings are a further warning about the dangers of vaping. Vaping is often marketed as a safer alternative to smoking, but this study suggests that it may have serious health consequences, including a negative impact on fertility.
