The infertility rates of men and women can drop significantly when they are overweight.
Hormonal disturbances, reproductive organ disruptions, and an increased risk of reproductive problems are all possible outcomes of these complex consequences. The following is a synopsis of the ways in which male obesity impacts fertility:
Obesity causes changes in hormone levels, such as a drop in testosterone and a spike in estrogen, which can lead to hormonal imbalances. Hormonal abnormalities have the potential to impact sperm count and quality.
Reduced sperm motility and higher DNA fragmentation are two ways in which obesity impairs sperm function. Male infertility can be exacerbated by these causes.
Sexual dysfunction and infertility can be impacted by erectile dysfunction (ED), which is more common in men who are overweight.
Increased Propensity for Metabolic Syndrome: Obesity is commonly linked to metabolic syndrome, a collection of symptoms characterized by elevated blood pressure, insulin resistance, and abnormal lipid profiles. Male fertility can be negatively impacted by metabolic syndrome.
An rise in scrotal temperature, which can have a deleterious effect on sperm quality and production, is one symptom of abdominal and pelvic excess fat.
The success rate of several assisted reproductive technologies, like in vitro fertilization (IVF), may be lower in obese males. It's worth noting that not everyone who is overweight will have problems conceiving, and that people's reactions to obesity and fertility can differ.
