Obesity is the condition where there is a lot of fat in the
body leading to weight increase and bad health conditions. Obesity is caused by
food intake that is excess and in abnormally large quantities. An obese person
mostly does not have control over the amount of food they are eating. Emotional
eating has been associated with gaining a lot of weight as a result of trying to
deal with the emotional issue by over eating unhealthy food.
Lack of an active life due to lack of exercise can also lead
to obesity. Eating without having an outlet in terms of exercise will lead to
food accumulation in the body leading to obesity. Exercise helps to burn off
any excess fats that would be bad for your health. There have also been cases
where obesity has been caused by the presence of genes that are susceptible to
obesity. For men obesity has several effects on their fertility.
Obesity will make the man to have decreased testosterone
levels
Obese men tend to have a decrease in their testosterone
levels which makes them to be less active than their counterparts with normal
weight. Low levels of testosterone means that the man cannot perform sexually
to help the woman conceive. Decreased testosterone levels will make the man not to have
enough energy for any activity that may involve extra effort on his part. As a
result he may not be able to make his partner pregnant as the activity will be
too much for his body to handle.
Men’s fertility is affected by low sperm count
An obese man will have a low sperm count and this will cause
his fertility levels to reduce. This is attributed to semen that is of poor
quality. A low sperm count will make it
difficult for the fertilization process to take place. This is because the
sperm do not have enough strength or are not healthy enough to fertilize the
egg. Reason being that the sperm count’s motility rate is reduced
significantly.
Low sperm count will as a result lead to the man feeling
pressure and embarrassment about the situation. As a result of this, he will
become stressed which may lead to depression or illnesses that will cause the
man to be ineffective in getting his partner pregnant.
Obesity changes a man’s hormones
Due to the fat deposits in the body of an obese man, his
hormones are overworking as they try to regulate the body’s functions from the
added weight. The sex hormones are the most affected causing some changes in
the man’s metabolism increasing the risk of him getting cancer of the prostate
that may lead to infertility.
Loss of libido affects men’s fertility
Due to the weight issues that the man is dealing with, he
will have a loss of libido. In turn he will not be able to have intercourse
with his partner in order to get her pregnant. The added weight caused by
obesity will make him to have a lot of health issues. Diseases like high blood
pressure will make him to be under medication. This medicine may have adverse
reaction with his body which will affect his performance or sometimes even
health.
Shedding weight is the best way to ensure that the man
remains healthy thus fertile enough to make his partner pregnant.
