Yes, obesity directly affects reproductive health in both males and females. In females, obesity causes hormonal disruption resulting in ovulatory disorders hence leading to irregular menstrual cycles, PCOS, endometrial issues and lower IVF success rates.
In males, obesity decreases sperm quality along with hormonal imbalance and also causes erectile dysfunction.
In today’s fast-paced world, most job patterns require sitting for long-hours; this contributes to a sedentary lifestyle leading to obesity. When this sedentary lifestyle is combined with unhealthy eating habits it has a drastic effect on weight and reproductive health. This also leads to insulin resistance and metabolic disorders further disrupting reproductive health.
Therefore it is very important to take precautionary measures against obesity at the right time. At Njinsky, the leading IVF & fertility center in Lahore, we provide diet plans according to your BMI and lifestyle which contribute in preventing infertility through healthy weight.
Sedentary lifestyle- causes hormonal imbalances and metabolic disorders resulting in ovulatory disorders and decrease in sperm quality.
Poor diet- can lead to conditions like insulin resistance which affects cellular nutrient uptake impairing egg and sperm quality. Obesity also contributes to PCOS, irregular menstruation and poor sperm parameters.
Smoking and alcohol intake- these decrease egg and sperm quality and also causes DNA fragmentation. These also cause recurrent miscarriages and low IVF success rates.
Poor sleep and high stress levels- these affect overall reproductive health of both males and females.
Our body weight plays a significant role in reproductive health. Being overweight results in hormonal imbalance and ovulatory disorder while being underweight suppresses ovulation. Maintaining a healthy weight is important for having a healthy reproductive health. Once a healthy weight is maintained, hormones are regulated and ovulation becomes regular. A healthy weight in males improves testosterone levels and sperm quality. It also reduces the chance of having diabetes which causes a complication of erectile dysfunction in most males.
If you are suffering from infertility despite maintaining normal weight, it is important to seek infertility treatment. Njinsky IVF & Fertility Clinic treats infertility in the most effective way. Once the cause of infertility is identified, our doctors design a treatment plan which is most effective for our patients. Our treatment plans include lifestyle modifications, conservative management and surgical procedures. Female infertility treatment mainly emphasises ovulation induction because once a healthy egg is retrieved we can opt for different reproductive techniques to achieve conception. On the other hand, male infertility treatment focuses on producing healthy sperm for a healthy embryo.
Whether you are suffering from infertility due to obesity or want to take precautions before obesity affects your fertility, we are here to help. Njinsky will help you through every process and guide you through all treatment plans available and design a combined plan to treat your cause specifically.
