Lifestyle changes to improve your fertility
Fertility
reflects a man’s “overall” health.
Men who
live a healthy lifestyle are more likely to produce healthy sperm.The
following are a few lifestyle choices that negatively impact male fertility
Smoking--significantly decreases both
sperm count and sperm cell motility.
Prolonged use of marijuana and other recreational
drugs.
Chronic
alcohol abuse.
Anabolic steroid use--causes testicular shrinkage and infertility.
Overly intense exercise--produces high levels of adrenal steroid hormones which cause a testosterone deficiency resulting in infertility.
Inadequate vitamin C and Zinc in the diet.
Tight underwear--increases scrotal temperature which results in decreased sperm production.
Exposure to environmental hazards and toxins such as pesticides, lead, paint, radiation, radioactive substances, mercury, benzene, boron, and heavy metals
Malnutrition and anemia.
Excessive stress!

Modifying
these behaviors can improve a man’s fertility and should be considered when a
couple is trying to achieve pregnancy.
Hyperprolactinemia:
Elevated prolactin--a hormone associated with nursing mothers, is found in 10 to 40 percent of infertile males. Mild elevation of prolactin levels produces no symptoms, but greater elevations of the hormone reduces sperm production, reduces libido and may cause impotence.
Hypothyroidism:
Low thyroid hormone levels--can cause poor semen quality, poor testicular function and may disturb libido. May be caused by a diet high in iodine. Reducing iodine intake or beginning thyroid hormone replacement therapy can elevate sperm count.
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia:
Occurs when the pituitary is suppressed by increased levels of adrenal androgens. Symptoms include low sperm count, an increased number of immature sperm cells, and low sperm cell motility.
Hypogonadotropic Hypopituitarism:
This condition arrests sperm development and causes the progressive loss of germ cells from the testes . However, if all germ cells are destroyed before treatment commences, the male may be permanently infertile.
Panhypopituitafism:
Complete pituitary gland failure. Symptoms include: lethargy, impotence, decreased libido, loss of secondary sex characteristics, and normal or undersized testicles.
