Dr Crawford said she would never allow her partner to smoke cigarettes, use marijuana or sit with a laptop on his lap as it could negatively affect his ability to have children.
First, Dr. Crawford said she would never allow her partner to smoke cigarettes because it’s “absolutely terrible” for sperm, or smoke marijuana because it “decreases sperm production” and affects its shape.
Interestingly, she also discourages her partner from placing laptops on his lap.
‘The heat actually raises the temperature of the testicles – they are outside the body for a reason – and that can cause an increase in abnormally shaped sperm,’ said Dr Crawford.
Few will realize that processed meats can reduce sperm quality, which is why Dr. Crawford would never let her partner consume this type of food.
“Processed meats contain a lot of chemicals and they are definitely bad for sperm,” she said in the clip.
To maintain sperm quality, Dr. Crawford would also not want her partner to use testosterone or anabolic steroids.
“Testosterone is essentially male birth control pills, or male birth control pills, and so many people will give someone testosterone to help their ‘fatigue’ or ‘low T,’ but it kills your sperm,” she said.
“You don’t have sperm to use for months or even years.”
Although Dr. Crawford didn’t mention drinking alcohol, heavy drinking can reduce sperm production by lowering testosterone.

The video was liked more than 212,000 times and was well received by other Instagram users.
‘Didn’t know the testosterone part,’ one person commented, another wrote, ‘Good to know!’
But another woman said her husband smokes and they had “no trouble” conceiving.
It is best to talk to your fertility doctor or family doctor when discussing fertility issues.
