What effects does coffee have on male fertility?

By Guillermo Quea Campos M.D. (gynecologist).
Last Update: 11/15/2022

Generally, specialists recommend a decrease in coffee consumption in men who are seeking to achieve pregnancy. This is because caffeine can alter the metabolism of Sertoli cells involved in sperm formation and thus spermatogenesis.

One study confirmed that IVF rates decrease by approximately 30% in men who consume more than one cup of coffee a day. However, it is important to note that coffee consumption will decrease sperm motility but not sperm quality. However, further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
