Infertility can be defined as a situation in which a woman or
a man is not fertile enough to have children. In other words, a fertile woman
will ovulate every other month. Symptoms of infertility in women may be seen
when a woman misses her period even though she does not have intercourse.
Fertility in men is when a man has proper erection
to last well for sex, fertile sperms and proper libido. A low sperm count or a watery sperm, and
a non lasting erection and impotence (not having erection at all) are all characterized
as a non fertile man. Sometimes, low libido or low sex drive can be a factor in
considering infertility in both men and women.
There are some things that can increase your risk of being
infertile, these are common to both men and women and I shall briefly list out.
They are:
- 1. Excessive use of alcohol
- 2. Use of tobacco
- 3. Use of hard drugs
- 4. Some medicines can increase your risk of being infertile, such as some cancer medicines, like chemotherapy, radiotherapy etc
- 5. Some diseases in both men and women such as diabetes can also increase your chances.
- 6. Some sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, Chlamydia, PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
- 7. Others can be accidents and injuries.
These above are just to give you basic knowledge about
infertility in men and women. You can read more about infertility here
But, nevertheless, the following are quick steps in which
you can boost your fertility either as a man or a woman.
- 1. Control your weight: too much of fat in the body is not good for women because it helps to produce a particular hormone which obstructs proper ovulation. And without a proper ovulation, there is a low chance of pregnancy. And in men, too much of body fat can block the veins carrying blood to the penis. This can be known as cholesterols, as they can help to increase the chances of having erectile dysfunction which can ultimately lead to importance.
- 2. Eat well and make sure they are balanced. Especially foods rich in zinc, magnesium, and iron and vitamin c. For example, vitamin c helps to boost libido in men, wears out cholesterol and helps to boost blood circulation in men. In women, most of the minerals and vitamins help proper ovulation.
- 3. Tobacco should be stopped. Do you know that smoking tobacco is highly toxic, or in other words, it is a good source of antigens in the body. So if you love antigens, you can keep smoking tobacco and increase your chances of having lung cancer and reducing your life expectancy. However, Antigens are the number one causes of infertility in both men and women. Sometimes, you will see that some men who are acute tobacco smokers and have fertility problems, if after for a whole they stopped the cigarette and they detoxify, they have an improved sperm quality and are fertile. So also goes for women who have irregular or do not ovulate at all.
- 4. Keep a cool mind and have fewer worries. If you are stressed and having depression all the time, they can both affect your being fertile. You need to keep calm all the time and don’t over work yourself or worry too much on anything. Else, pregnancy issues may be developed. For example, some people who suffered from P.T.S.D (Post traumatic stress disorder), have one time or the other lost their pregnancies while they had it. The best way to come out of a PTSD is to see a counselor and relax yourself
- 5. Exercise: most people do ignore exercise, but this is one of the simplest things to do. Exercise helot to burn fat, keeps the blood flowing properly and helps a woman to ovulate properly. In fact, there are evidences that exercise can help those with impotence or suffering from a low libido. But, if you are nervous because you have ED, do not over stress yourself because it can do more harm than good.
