If Guys Use Drugs Heavily, Do They Have a Chance for Birth Defects?

Question by R S: If guys use drugs heavily, do they have a chance for birth defects?
I’m getting very serious about a guy who I know in the past has had very heavy drug usage, cocaine, meth, acid, etc….and still on occasion uses them now. If I end up wanting to have a kid with him….does anyone know if drug use on his part could effect his sperm in any way to cause any birth defects?

Answer by nursekuba
If he has stopped using drugs I might consider getting involved with him. I wouldn’t do anything with him if he still uses, even on occasion. As far as having a baby with him, I think it would be okay because with men, the damaged sperm usually don’t make it to the egg.
