Junk foods not only have a bad effect on our health, but their consumption also reduces the chances of getting pregnant. Fast food contains chemicals that interfere with the reproduction system. Because of junk food, hormones start to produce more and also weight starts increasing. Hormonal problems for a long time can have a bad effect on women’s fertility (ability to have children). Fatty food and junk food lead to rapid weight gain. Excessive fat increases the amount of estrogen hormone, which is responsible for the formation of cysts in the ovaries, which can make you vulnerable to diseases like PCOS. Not only in women’s but men’s fertility, semen quality, including higher sperm count, concentration and motility are associated with diet.

Male-Factor Infertility and treatment

 

When we talk about infertility we focus on female infertility whereas about 10% of infertility can be attributed to male factors only, while 35% of cases involve both male and female factors. Thus, almost half of all couples with infertility may have a male factor.

Causes of Male Infertility

Male factor infertility is most commonly due to problems with the sperm by a variety of conditions; some of these can be corrected, while others cannot. Problems may exist in sperm production, ejaculation, or motility.:

1. 30-40% of cases problems in the testes
2. 10-20% blockage in the pathway that allows sperm to exit the testes during ejaculation
3. 1-2% of cases problems in the pituitary or hypothalamus
4. 40-50% of cases no identifiable cause, even after evaluation

 

Treatment

Before treatment, it is also important to consider potential issues related to sexual behavior, such as erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction, or lack of sexual desire due to depression or medication use. Treatment for male infertility depends upon the underlying cause. Treatments may be depending upon whether the semen contains few sperm (oligozoospermia), no sperm (azoospermia), abnormally shaped sperm (teratozoospermia), and/or sperm with poor motility (asthenozoospermia). Treatment often involves both male and female partners.

Intrauterine insemination

The best treatment for problems with sperm motility or concentration is intrauterine insemination. At the time of ovulation, the most active sperm are focused and placed within the uterus of the female partner. You can utilize intrauterine insemination with or without treating the female partner.

In vitro fertilization (IVF)

Male tubal blockage and unexplained infertility are two conditions that frequently require the use of in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)

This technique involves injecting one sperm into each egg. ICSI is typically advised if a couple has already decided to proceed with IVF and the semen analysis is abnormal.

Testicular extraction of sperm

When a man’s sperm count in the ejaculate is completely absent, (TESE) is performed. Under local anesthetic, sperm can be aspirated directly from the testes using a needle or through a very small incision. Depending on the cause of male infertility, sperm may not always be found during this technique. If sperm is found and retrieved, ICSI utilizes it.

Know about COVID-19 if you are pregnant

drasthachakravarty

As we all know about the Coronavirus outbreak almost all over the world. There are many pregnant women, who have lots of questions about their pregnancy, baby, delivery, and many more things. To get the answers to all your questions we talked to Dr. Astha Chakravarty, one of the best Gynecologists in Faridabad over a video call, and asked a few questions. Let’s started with the first question:

Question: How can you protect yourself from the deadly coronavirus?

Answer: All you need to do is to maintain good hygiene by frequently wash your hand with soap or sanitize your hands with sanitizer. Avoid going in any type of gathering even if it is in your home also. If anyone is coming from outside then maintain at least 6 ft of distance from them. Take a bath twice in a day. Go outside if urgent only otherwise stay at home. Avoid touching your nose, eyes, mouth until you wash if you coming from outside or if you are outside.

Question: Does becoming ill with the COVID-19 increase risk of miscarriage or other complications?

Answer: Well, According to the CDC, this type of risk has not been documented in any record. In research of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, if any woman becomes ill with COVID-19, she has a higher risk of preterm birth, but it is recorded in limited cases only. COVID-19 may not be the direct cause of preterm birth. I requested to all the pregnant women not to trust any type of myth.

Question: If I become sick, what is the risk of passing the virus on to my fetus or newborn?

Answer: We can’t answer this question surely but according to the small studies on limited cases of women during the third trimester of pregnancy that the risk of passing the virus to the fetus or newborn is very low. The study also showed that the virus is not present in breast milk, babies’ throat, or amniotic acid. If a woman is infected during her first trimester, immediately consult your maternity care team.

Question: Should I continue to have prenatal visits?

Answer: To ensuring fetal and maternal health, prenatal visits are important. As we are facing the global pandemic, I am requesting all the pregnant women to consult your doctor via Tele or video consultation. If any doctor is not providing this service then call your doctor and asked for the fixed time slot so that you need to wait for so long in the clinic and follow the guidelines issued by the government.

If you still have any other queries, you can contact Dr. Astha Chakravarty on call. She will guide and help you for sure. So, feel free to consult her. If you want to meet her personally, then visit the Asha Fertility Clinic, one of the best IVFCentres in Faridabad.
