Men’s Health Month-Fertility for Men

Men’s Health Month and Fertility for Men-
continuing about weight: an increase in weight above the healthy weight range (see BMI) can physically impede fertility by generating a state of excess pressure, inflammation and physical heat around male reproductive organs, particularly the testes. Excess weight can also result in hormonal imbalances. A high percentage of body fat mass causes increased estrogen and decreased testosterone levels. Low testosterone has a cascade effect which decreases libido, erectile function and impacts the quality and quantity of sperm produced. Overweight men are more likely than healthy weight men to produce immature and immobile sperm (making it difficult to reach the egg) and/or sperm that have increased DNA fragmentation (affecting the genetic makeup of the sperm).
