Doctors for Does Obesity Affect Male Fertility?

Many studies have been done to find out whether impotence increases due to obesity. In one study, it was proved that as men gain 20 pounds (about 9 kg), their chances of impotence increase by 10 percent. A man's chances of becoming a father are further reduced when the partner is overweight, the man is older, smokes drinks a lot of alcohol, and comes in contact with some kind of chemicals.

However, it is important to know how weight promotes sperm formation or impotence. According to one theory, weight gain is due to changes in sex hormones. Sex hormones act as energy for the testis to produce sperm. Obesity increases fat and fat converts male hormone (testosterone) into female hormone (estrogen). Due to the increase in female hormones in men, there is a decrease in sperm production.

Similarly, another theory has shown that with the increase of fat, the normal difference in temperature between the male body and his testis starts to end. It is also responsible for impotence. The same thing applies to very thin men as well. When a man is very thin, he feels hungry all the time, due to which hormones are affected, due to which there is a decrease in sperm production and impotence.

Testosterone level

The body manages hormones with the help of fat cells. When fat becomes unbalanced, hormones are also affected by it. Overweight men have lower levels of testosterone and increased levels of the female hormone estrogen. For this reason, due to obesity, there is a deficiency of sperm in men, and impotence increases in them.
