Ways to boost male fertility

If you’ve been trying to conceive for many months without any luck, there could be many reasons. Research has shown that about a third of all infertility cases are caused due to sperm quality. Sometimes, simple lifestyle changes can make all the difference. Here are some ways to boost male fertility:

  1. Get the right vitamins

Taking multivitamins can help boost male fertility. A study found that men who took oral supplements had better odds of helping their partners conceive. Take a daily dose of folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin D, and vitamin E to reduce free radical production and improve sperm-cell membrane stability and function. Talk to our doctors at KIMS Cuddles for diet recommendations.

  1. Exercise

Going to the gym a few times a week can help improve overall health and also improve sperm count. A Harvard study found that men who participated in moderate-to-vigorous activity for at least 15 hours a week had 73 percent higher sperm concentration as compared to men who moved less than five hours a week. Although any kind of exercise is good, try resistance training for better results. Lifting weights can increase testosterone levels and aid in higher sperm concentration.

  1. Consume Nuts

Research has found that consuming healthy nuts can help improve male fertility. A study of men who ate walnuts regularly showed that their omega-3 fatty acids levels had increased, leading to better sperm vitality, mobility and fewer chromosomal abnormalities. Eating any type of nut can help reduce oxidative stress in your body and improve sperm production.

  1. Stay away from Plastics

Plastic products contain BPA or phthalates which can negatively impact sperm quality. Studies have even showed that men with high BPA exposure had lower sperm motility. Those who had a high concentration of phthalate traces also look longer to impregnate their partners. Try switching to BPA-free plastics if you can’t totally avoid them.

  1. Maintain a healthy diet

Eating right can help you maintain a healthy weight and improves fertility. Include plant-based foods such as whole grains, greens and nuts, as well as fish and poultry. Consume five to six servings of fruits and veggies per day. Make sure you are also getting enough anti-oxidants and also that the food that you eat is low in pesticide residue. Men who ate fish, especially fatty fish such as salmon, had 34 percent higher sperm count than others. So what you eat is also crucial in improving fertility.

These are just few of the ways in which men can boost their fertility. However, if you are unable to get pregnant even after one year of trying, see your doctor to get yourself checked for other male infertility causes. Our doctors at KIMS Cuddles provide the best advice and fertility treatment, and can prescribe the right course of action for you.

Irregular Periods: When to Investigate

Period irregularity is something many women experience at some point, and most learn to live with it, at least for a while. A late period during a stressful month, a lighter cycle after illness, a missed period after a long flight. These variations are common and usually self-correcting. The problem is that irregular periods are also how the body signals conditions that genuinely need attention, and because the irregularity can feel familiar, it is easy to keep waiting for things to normalise when they never will without proper evaluation.Knowing where the line sits between normal variation and something worth investigating is genuinely useful.What counts as irregularA normal menstrual cycle runs anywhere from 24 to 38 days, measured from the first day of one period to the first day of the next. Variation of up to eight days between the shortest and longest cycle is considered normal. Lengths ranging between 8 and 20 days of variation are considered moderately irregular, and variation of 21 days or more is considered very irregular.Changes outside the cycle length are also irregular. Periods that are either much heavier or lighter than normal, periods that are much longer or shorter than normal, periods between periods, and periods that are absent altogether, in a woman not pregnant, breastfeeding, or in menopause,

Fertility Decline: What Women Should Know

Conversations about fertility tend to happen too late. Women often begin thinking seriously about their reproductive timeline only when they are ready to conceive. At this point, some of the most important biological facts have already been playing out for years without their awareness. The decline in female fertility with age is one of the most consistently misunderstood aspects of reproductive health, and the gap between what women know and what the biology actually shows is significant.This is not about creating anxiety. It is about giving women accurate information early enough to make genuinely informed decisions.The Fundamental BiologyA woman is born with all the eggs she is going to have in her lifetime. Her eggs age with her, decreasing in quality and quantity. Age is the single most important factor affecting a woman's fertility.Females are born with a finite number of oocytes. The number of oocytes peaks in the womb at around 20 weeks of gestation and subsequently declines steadily until approximately age 32, after which the number decreases at a greater rate until age 37, beyond which oocyte numbers drop even more rapidly.This is not something that can be slowed by fitness, diet, or general good health. Even though women today are healthier and taking better care of themselves than ever before, improved

PMOS: Causes Beyond Hormones

Most patients understand Polycystic Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome, or PMOS, as a hormonal condition. Irregular periods, elevated androgens, and ovarian cysts on an ultrasound. The hormonal picture is real, but it is only part of the story. Decades of research have made it increasingly clear that PMOS is far more complex than a hormonal imbalance in isolation. It involves the metabolic system, the immune system, the gut, and genetics, all interacting in ways that produce a condition that looks different in every woman who has it.Understanding the fuller picture of what causes PMOS matters because it changes how the condition is managed and why lifestyle interventions work as well as they do.What PMOS Actually InvolvesPolycystic Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome is a complex endocrine and metabolic disorder, typically characterised by hirsutism, hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, menstrual disorders, and infertility. The name itself reflects what the condition truly is. The metabolic component is not secondary to the ovarian and hormonal picture. It is central to it. Treating the hormonal symptoms without addressing the underlying metabolic drivers is one reason PMOS management often produces only partial results.Insulin Resistance Sits at the CentrePMOS insulin resistance, where cells throughout the body fail to respond normally to insulin, is considered the primary pathological basis for the reproductive dysfunction seen in PMOS.
