Saurabh [107] | Arshdeep Kaur
Abstract: Cigarette smoking plays a major role in infertility of men due to presence of >4000 of chemical compounds which affects the DNA of male. Damaged DNA effects the concentration of sperm and its motility. Some time smoking can affects the morphological characteristics of sperms.
