Does Obesity Cause infertility in males?

Dr Parag Hitnalikar (MD, FNB Reproductive Medicine)

Obesity can be called as mother of many lifestylesrelateddiseases. It is one of the main cause of cardiovascular accidents such as heart attack, and heart related diseases. It is also the main culprit for diabetes which is a major burden on healthcare system. Not to forget it is the main underlying cause of many cancers.

Obesity has a major role in male reproductive outcomes. What does it exactly cause?

Poor semen

Semen analysis is the report of all semen parameters such as count of sperms, motility of sperms and its morphology. Count denotes the number of total sperms in a given sample, whereas motility denotes how many sperms are actually moving and are capable of fertilizing the egg on their own. In obese individuals, both these parameters are affected. The third parameter is sperm morphology, which denotes the structure of sperms. Obesity affects both internal and external structure of the sperms.

Erectile dysfunction

Normal sexual function is very important for normal reproduction. One of the main sexual problems a man face is the problem of erection of penis. These individuals have inadequate or no erection during the intercourse. This severely affects the self-esteem and chances of successful pregnancy. Obesity increases chances of sexual dysfunction.
