00:07and reproductive health and using the beginning of year and Chinese New Year to use it as
00:12a way to have a New Year resolution to cut down on these bad habits.
00:18And one important one is alcohol consumption.
00:27So alcohol is well known to cause several things, number one its suppressive effect
00:33might actually get somebody to have a high risk taking behaviour during sex, however
00:40it also will have a suppressive impact on the erectile tissues.
00:45So many men who when take too much alcohol may experience a terminology called whiskey
00:52dick.
00:53What does that mean?
00:54In fact the suppressive effect in the brain will also suppress the blood supply into the
00:59erectile tissues and whiskey dick is actually known to have a temporary effect in a short
01:04term impact on sexual health.
01:07Secondly, in a more longer consumption of alcohol, the liver function test might be
01:15affected and men might undergo problem with cirrhosis.
01:19Men with cirrhosis will have suppressed level of testosterone and elevate level of estrogen.
01:27What impact has that on you?
01:29It will suppress your libido.
01:31So its well known that men attend alcoholic recovery therapy, actually they will improve
01:39their sexual function especially the libido and men continue to drink alcohol will have
01:45a very low libido.
01:47Worse still, once the consumption of alcohol is increased, then the sperm quality is reducing.
01:56The spermatic cells in the testicles are actually not very forgiving for two components, cigarettes
02:02and alcohol.
02:04The consumption of alcohol can suppress spermatogenesis in all parameters, it reduces the number,
02:11the actual mortality and the morphology.
02:14So many men who consume too much alcohol will also undergo a condition called testicular
02:21atrophy and subsequently might render them infertile.
02:26Next week we are going to consider how is obesity and also high fat intake affecting
02:34your sexual and reproductive health.
