If regular sexual intercourses between two partners
don’t result in pregnancy after a year or two we can talk about possible
infertility or sterility. According to some statistics there are 10%-15% of
couples who are suffering from infertility and the reasons for that can be very
different. However there are some causes of sterility or infertility that occur
very often which can be successfully treated in a very easy way.
First of all, insufficient nourishment can cause a lot
of problems with fertility. This situation leads to anemia and many other even
more serious diseases. Many researchers have confirmed that insufficient or
below average body weight can be a cause of infertility in both women and men.
For most undernourished people, increased amount of food intake during the day
and quality nutrition that includes more vitamins, minerals (found in the
vegetables and fruits) and proteins, means increased chances of conception.
That’s’ why we should all take care of our diet and find food that is
especially rich in vitamin B (all of its variants), vitamin C, vitamin E, folic
acid, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, calcium and magnesium. Keep in mind that
fruits and vegetables should be carefully washed and peeled in order to get the
best of them. In this way you will avoid the negative effects of pesticides and
herbicides that are used while they were growing.
Modern lifestyle is filled with lots of stressful
situations and the stress is certainly affecting the fertility of women and
men. It has been proved that excessive psychological stress gives negative
impact to the libido and fertility. In women it interferes with ovulation while
in men it reduces the number of sperm cells. This situation can be avoided if
we have clear schedule about our daily and monthly activities. In this way
people can have regular and proper rests during the day and the night which
eventually leads to better sleep, lower stress levels and enhance the libido and
fertility.
Alcohol and tobacco are two products that affects
libido in a negative way. Besides that they can lead to sterility. These
products are not recommended for people that are trying to conceive and for
women that are pregnant too. The only thing that you can do to avoid the
effects of these two products is to stop or significantly reduce with their
consummation.
In some cases being overweight can also cause
sterility, because obese men have bad sperm quality and/or the sperm cells are
not very mobile. Obese women have greater chances of developing polycystic
ovarian syndrome and other diseases that can affect their sexual health (like
irregular periods and hormonal changes). In most cases, obese individuals that
are experiencing infertility or sterility become fertile once they reduce their
weight on a normal level.
Physical inactivity is another cause of infertility in
men and women. However, long physical activity that takes place every day can
also have negative impacts when it comes to fertility.
As you can see, the causes of infertility can be
different, but the reasons we have outlined here can be influenced.
