Hi there! sickle cell anaemia is a condition in which red blood cells in the blood break down and clog the blood vessels resulting in ischaemia (temporary loss of blood to the organ nourished by the affected blood vessel, as you are a male and will not be carrying the baby, so it won't be difficult for you, but there is a chance that that your sickle cell gene may be carried over to the baby. Go for it, with the grace of god you will have a healthy baby lets pray you can reach me on Lybrate for homeopathic consultations.

Dear lybrate-user sickle cell disease effects fertility in males. This is likely because of the delay in puberty sexual maturation, and primary gonad dysfunction. As a result, they had few�sperm�counts and had issues with fertility. If you have sickle cell disease, your�child can get�sickle cell disease.

Sickle cell disease may lead to infertility. Infertility manifests due to multiple causes, including primary gonadal failure (hypogonadism), erectile dysfunction (ed) as a result of priapism, sperm abnormalities, and delayed or impaired sexual development. The ejaculate volume, sperm density, sperm motility, and normal sperm morphology were significantly reduced in these patients as compared with normal patients.
