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.

When Should Couples Seek Fertility Help?

Most couples who decide they want to start a family assume conception will happen relatively quickly. When it does not, the months of trying can bring a mix of confusion, frustration, and worry, along with a question that many are unsure how to answer: at what point does this become something to investigate medically? The answer depends on age, medical history, and a few specific circumstances that should prompt earlier rather than later action.Waiting too long to seek help is one of the most consistently documented patterns in fertility care. Most couples attempt to conceive for 22.3 months before presenting for fertility evaluation, almost a year beyond the recommended threshold. This delay can impair quality of life, impact treatment outcomes, and increase overall healthcare costs.The standard timelines for seeking helpFor a healthy couple in which the woman is under 35, infertility is typically defined as no pregnancy after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse. If the woman is 35 or older, the recommendation is to seek help after six months of trying without conceiving, since female fertility declines with age.If a woman is over 40, or a condition known to cause infertility is present, evaluation should not be delayed at all.These timelines reflect the biology of fertility decline. A 32-year-old and a 39-year-old are not in

Common Causes of Infertility

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after twelve months of regular, unprotected intercourse, or six months when the woman is above 35. It affects a significant proportion of couples trying to conceive, and yet it remains a condition many people approach with assumptions that do not reflect the clinical reality. The most persistent of these assumptions is that infertility is primarily a female problem. It is not.The male factor substantially contributes to about 50% of all cases of infertility. The male is solely responsible in about 20% of cases and is a contributing factor in another 30 to 40% of all cases. As male and female causes often coexist, it is essential that both partners are investigated and managed together.Understanding the most common causes on both sides is the starting point for anyone navigating a fertility evaluation.Female infertility causesOvulation disordersMost cases of female infertility are caused by problems with ovulation. Without ovulation, there are no eggs to be fertilised. PCOS is a hormone imbalance problem which can interfere with normal ovulation and is the most common female infertility causes.The most common overall cause of female infertility is failure to ovulate, which occurs in 40% of women with infertility. Polycystic ovary syndrome produces irregular or absent ovulation through insulin resistance and elevated androgen

IVF Journey: A Step-by-Step Guide

For couples who have been trying to conceive without success, or for individuals building families through assisted reproduction, the decision to pursue IVF often comes after a long and emotionally demanding period. In vitro fertilisation is one of the most well-established forms of assisted reproductive technology available, and yet the process itself remains opaque for many people who are just beginning to explore it.Understanding what actually happens at each stage, and what to expect emotionally and physically along the way, makes the journey considerably less daunting.What IVF is and who it is forIn vitro fertilisation is a medical process where eggs are collected from the ovaries, fertilised with sperm in a laboratory, and then transferred back into the uterus with the hope of achieving a pregnancy.In vitro fertilisation treatment is recommended when there are blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, severe male factor infertility and unexplained infertility after other treatments have been unsuccessful. Other situations include diminished ovarian reserve, genetic conditions where preimplantation testing is needed, and for single individuals or couples pursuing parenthood. Step 1: Initial consultation and fertility assessmentThe first step is for the doctor to understand the patient’s fertility story. It may involve coming in two to three different times during the menstrual cycle for
