Fertility is influenced by a wide range of physical, emotional, and environmental factors. Many couples struggle with conception without realizing how much their daily habits contribute. At Rathimed Fertility Centre, we focus on understanding the root causes and guiding couples through personalized solutions, including natural and medical options.
Improving your fertility begins with creating the right environment for conception. Here are the most effective steps: – Maintain a balanced diet (see: diet and fertility health) – Keep a healthy weight – Exercise moderately – Quit smoking and alcohol – Reduce stress (stress and infertility are closely linked) – Track ovulation and time intercourse appropriately
Infertility is typically defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse. It may be caused by issues in either or both partners. Common Causes in Men: – Low sperm count or motility – Hormonal imbalances – Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum) – Smoking, alcohol, or drug use
Common Causes in Women: – Ovulation disorders (e.g., PCOS) – Blocked fallopian tubes – Endometriosis – Uterine fibroids – Age-related decline – Poor lifestyle choices (lifestyle factors affecting fertility like stress, diet, and toxins)
Ignoring infertility can lead to emotional stress, strained relationships, and missed treatment windows. Addressing it early allows for timely intervention, better success rates, and peace of mind. At Rathimed Fertility Centre, we promote awareness and early diagnosis so couples can take proactive steps, especially with modifiable lifestyle factors affecting fertility.
Hormonal Imbalance: Often caused by PCOS, thyroid disorders, or high prolactin levels – Ovulation Problems: Irregular periods, anovulation, or absence of menstruation – Blocked Tubes: Often due to infections or pelvic inflammatory disease – Endometriosis: Uterine lining tissue growing outside the uterus, causing pain and infertility – Age: Egg quality and quantity decline significantly after age 35 – Poor Lifestyle: One of the main lifestyle factors affecting fertility in women includes high stress levels, poor nutrition, smoking, and sedentary habits
Understanding and addressing the lifestyle factors affecting fertility can significantly increase your chances of a healthy pregnancy. Through smart dietary choices (diet and fertility health), stress management (stress and infertility), regular activity, and avoiding harmful substances, couples can take meaningful steps toward parenthood.
