Impact of obesity on male fertility
Eighty seven million four hundred sixty thousand seventy five
The relationship of obesity and infertility in women have long been known, studied and proven. While men's obesity drew attention much later and, as it turned out, it is also able to exert some influence on fertility. In some cases, obese men represents only one of the causes of infertility, in other is the key problem of childlessness of the couple.
Some General information about obesity Obesity is a disease of the metabolism in the body characterized by excessive accumulation of fat. The main reason is the excessive consumption of fatty or too rich food. In order to understand whether obesity, you need to calculate the body mass index (BMI): height in meters squared, then the weight in kilograms divided by the resulting number. The final indicator is the BMI. If this figure is equal to or greater than 30, obesity has really, and to think seriously about losing weight.
The person suffering from obesity may be predisposed to a number of serious health:
cardiovascular disease,
diabetes,
diseases of the liver and gallbladder,
syndrome stop breathing during sleep (apnea) and many more.
Of all known cases of obesity, only 1% develop due to various diseases or disorders in the body, cause the other 99% is the wrong food.
It is well established that obesity in the male body leads to much less normal sperm than men of average weight. But what still way overweight can cause weakening of the fertilizing capacity of sperm? Try to consider the problem in more detail.
Existing theories about how linked obesity and infertility The impact of male obesity on the ability to have children studied by scientists of many countries, and they all agree on one thing — obesity can significantly reduce a man's ability to be a father. However, in other respects there are differences and, consequently, differences in theories about how excess weight leads to infertility.
Theory No. 1:
In the subcutaneous adipose tissue induces the production of the female hormone estrogen. The more of accumulated fat in the male body, the more estrogen is produced, which leads to a decrease in testosterone levels and a modest increase in prolactin. In connection with a predominance in the male body female hormones is disturbed and suppressed the physiological process of spermatogenesis, weakened libido and potency. Prolonged exposure to estrogen can even lead to atrophy of the testicles and enlarged Breasts.
Theory No. 2:
While obesity in men in the groin, deposited a very large amount of fat, which does not allow the scrotum to be normal temperature (below 35 degrees). Due to the strong heating of testicular maturation of sperm is suppressed or occurs in anomalous conditions, with the result that they are unable to fertilize the egg.
Theory No. 3:
If you believe this theory, the cause of infertility is obesity not the obesity, and a sedentary lifestyle, which, combined with lack of physical activity and leads to deterioration of sperm quality and reduction in it a sufficient number of healthy sperm.
Some of the data from various studies scientists:
Men with a BMI less than 25 have a little ejaculation of large volumes of content in it several times more fertile, normal sperm than men who are overweight.
The higher the BMI, the more defects occur in the composition and characteristics of sperm, such as total number of sperm, the number of progressive motile sperm, viscosity and liquefaction time of the ejaculate.
When losing weight men and getting rid of fatty deposits sperm quality usually improves.
Possible cause of infertility in obesity may be the DNA damage in developing sperm cells in adverse conditions.
Raised BMI increases the risk of infertility several times, regardless of age and other factors (alcohol, cigarettes, chemicals, etc.)
In some cases there is also a connection to a high percentage of body fat with abnormalities in the number of proteins that ensure normal viscosity, the mobility and functionality of sperm.
Thus, it is possible to summarize that the quality, quantity and other characteristics of the sperm can affect:
disturbed hormonal balance in the male body;
excessive heating of the testicles due to the body fat;
sedentary and inactive lifestyle.
Although until the end and who knows, one of these factors or their combination is the main cause of infertility in men who are overweight, but it is clear that obesity has a negative impact on the reproductive system of men and for recovery of fertilizing ability requires weight reduction.
