Understanding Male Fertility

Male fertility depends on sperm count, motility, and morphology. Age, lifestyle, and health factors such as body weight can greatly influence these parameters.

Factors That Affect Sperm Health

• Age: Fertility declines after 40
• BMI: Ideal BMI is 18.5 – 24.9; underweight or overweight men may face reduced fertility
• Smoking & Alcohol: Both negatively impact sperm count and quality
• Exercise: Moderate activity improves testosterone and sperm motility
• Stress: High stress lowers testosterone and impacts sperm health

Tips to Improve Sperm Health

• Maintain a healthy weight through balanced diet
• Exercise regularly but avoid overtraining
• Limit smoking and alcohol intake
• Practice stress management (yoga, meditation)
• Sleep 7–8 hours daily
