Viagra
May Impair Fertility
A
new study has revealed that sperm is less capable of fertilization
because they prematurely shoot off their heads before coming close
to the egg. There is also evidence to suggest that eggs fertilized
by sperm from a man using Viagra will not develop normally.
If you are
a man who wants to have children you might want to think twice
before taking Viagra. New evidence suggests that the drug could
impair your fertility. According to researchers from Queen's University
in Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK, viagra has an effect on the
sperm's ability to penetrate the wall of the egg.
It reduces
the sperm's ability to break through the membrane. The researchers
said that Viagra does make the sperm more active. However, it
also causes the sperm to release digestive enzymes which pierce
the egg wall to fertilize it before it has reached the egg. When
it does reach the egg it cannot pierce the wall.
The researchers
presented their finding at the British Fertility Society's annual
conference, Cheltenham, UK. They carried out laboratory tests.
These tests indicated that Viagra could damage sperm. They said
that younger men who want to have children should be aware of
this.
