There are a number of drugs that can cause infertility in both men and women. Some of the most common include:
Alcohol: Chronic alcohol consumption can decrease testosterone levels and reduce sperm count in men, and disrupt the menstrual cycle and ovulation in women.
Anabolic steroids: These performance-enhancing drugs can cause testicular shrinkage and decreased sperm production in men, and irregular periods and reduced ovulation in women.
Cocaine and other stimulants: These drugs can damage the sperm and reduce sperm count in men, and cause menstrual irregularities and decreased ovulation in women.
Marijuana: Marijuana use has been associated with reduced sperm count and motility in men, and disrupted menstrual cycles and decreased ovulation in women.
Tobacco: Smoking can reduce sperm count and increase the risk of infertility in both men and women.
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy: These cancer treatments can cause temporary or permanent infertility in both men and women.
Opioids: Chronic opioid use has been associated with decreased testosterone levels, reduced sperm count, and decreased ovulation in both men and women.
It is important to note that the effects of these drugs on fertility can vary based on a number of factors, including the frequency and duration of use, the specific drug and dosage, and individual differences in metabolism and response to the drug.
If you have concerns about the effects of a specific drug on your fertility, it is best to consult your healthcare provider for a more personalized and informed response.
