“Male fertility plays a crucial role in conception, and understanding the factors that affect sperm quality and quantity can help men take proactive steps to enhance their reproductive health. From age and lifestyle to diet and underlying medical conditions, a range of factors can impact sperm health.
Male fertility is influenced by various factors like age, lifestyle, diet, and underlying medical conditions,”” explains Dr Sumitra Mansingh, IVF Specialist at Birla Fertility and IVF. “”Poor sperm quality or low sperm count can hinder conception. Simple lifestyle changes like improving diet, exercising, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol can enhance sperm health. At Birla Fertility and IVF, we offer comprehensive assessments and treatments to address male fertility issues.””
Aging is one of the key factors that can lead to a decline in sperm quality, as DNA integrity in sperm may decrease over time. Lifestyle choices, such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and exposure to environmental toxins, are also known to negatively affect sperm motility, morphology, and count. Diet plays an equally important role; a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals can significantly improve sperm health.
Addressing male fertility is often as simple as adopting healthier habits. Regular exercise, a nutrient-rich diet, and stress management can boost sperm quality. Moreover, avoiding harmful habits like smoking and drug use can help improve both sperm quality and quantity.
At clinics like Birla Fertility, specialized assessments provide a clear understanding of individual fertility health, allowing for targeted treatments and lifestyle recommendations to enhance fertility. For many men, small changes can make a big difference in achieving successful conception, whether through natural methods or assisted reproductive technologies.”
