    Top 5 causes of infertility in men & women and ways to cure it for a healthy conception 

    Updated on 3 November 2023

    According to a report issued by the National Health Portal of India, around 10-15% of Indian Couples are affected by infertility. Contrary to common misconception, both men and women can have infertility.

    This blog features the top 5 causes of infertility in men and women, how to cure them with the proper treatment, and a fertility-boosting diet plan.

    Top 5 Causes Of Infertility In Men & Women

    Many different factors can contribute to infertility in men and women. Some of these include:

    1. Age

    As we age, our bodies undergo changes that can affect fertility. For women, age is the most common factor contributing to infertility—the chances of getting pregnant decline rapidly after age 35. For men, age can also play a role in fertility, although it is not as big of a factor as it is for women.

    2. Stress

    Stress can have a negative impact on both men's and women's fertility. It can interfere with a woman's menstrual cycle and lower a man's sperm count.

    3. Weight

    Both being overweight and underweight can affect fertility. Being overweight can lead to hormonal imbalances, which can interfere with ovulation. Being underweight can also affect ovulation. A fertility-boosting diet plan will provide the proper nutrition to aid in conception.

    4. Health Conditions

    Various health conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and uterine fibroids, can impact fertility.

    5. Lifestyle

    Certain lifestyle habits are incredibly harmful to reproductive health. For example, smoking is detrimental to both men's and women's fertility. It can damage a woman's eggs, and it can also lower a man's sperm count.

    Top Male Infertility Treatments

    When it comes to fertility treatments, while many common treatments can be used for both sexes, some treatments are specific to men. Some of these include:

    • For men, one of the most common fertility treatments is testosterone therapy. This treatment can help improve sperm production and motility, both of which are important for fertility. In some cases, testosterone therapy may be used with other fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).

    • Other common male fertility treatments include:

    • Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) therapy- can help stimulate sperm production

    • Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)- is a technique used to place sperm directly into the uterus

    • More advanced fertility treatments are available for men with more severe fertility issues, such as sperm retrieval techniques and IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). These techniques can be used alone or in combination, depending on the situation.

    Top Female Infertility Treatments

    Here are some of the top treatments that can help counter female infertility:

    • In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process where eggs are first fertilized with sperm outside of the body, and the fertilized eggs are then implanted into the uterus. IVF is often used when there are issues with the fallopian tubes or the sperm cannot fertilize the eggs.

    • Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is a variation of IVF where a single sperm is injected into each egg. ICSI is often used when there are issues with the sperm. Fertility drugs can also be used to help stimulate ovulation.

    • In some cases, surgery may be needed to repair the reproductive organs, such as removing blockages in the fallopian tubes or correcting endometriosis.

    • Furthermore, making some lifestyle changes can also help improve fertility. For example, quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, following a fertility diet plan to improve egg quality, and reducing stress can improve fertility.

    End Note: The Need For Fertility Boosting Diet Plan

    A fertility-boosting diet plan helps to improve fertility in men and women by providing the nutrients needed for optimal reproductive health. Here are a few essential nutrients that are especially important to improve fertility:

    • Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for fertility because they help to promote hormone balance. They can be found in foods like salmon, walnuts, and flaxseed oil.

    • Folate is a nutrient that helps to prevent congenital disabilities. It is found in leafy green vegetables, legumes, and fortified foods.

    • Vitamin D is essential for fertility because it helps to regulate menstrual cycles. It can be found in fortified milk, fatty fish, and egg yolks.

    If you are trying to boost your fertility, it is crucial to focus on eating a nutrient-rich diet. Add more omega-3 fatty acids, folate, and vitamin D to the fertility diet plan by including foods like salmon, leafy greens, and fortified milk in your meals. It is sure to improve your fertility significantly.
