Alcohol causes so many abnormalities in the male and female reproductive systems. In males, it causes reduced production of testosterone and sperm production also reduces. It also causes sexual dysfunction, including erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction. In females, it causes irregular periods, anovulation, and infertility. Coming to pregnancy, if you are already pregnant and you consume alcohol without knowing, it is known to cause fetal alcohol syndrome, where the baby's face would be abnormal, and the baby's brain will not be developed properly. Also, during pregnancy, it causes premature delivery and fetal growth restriction. These are the complications; hence, it's always better to avoid alcohol for at least 6 months before planning pregnancy.
