It is well known that obesity can lead to various health threats. Health problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, breathing problems, digestive disorders, diabetes are very common and known to be associated with obesity, but do you know that obesity can also lead to infertility in people? Yes, Obesity can really affect fertility in both men and women.

A research conducted by National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) indicates that men with high BMI (Body Mass Index) have a greater probability to become infertile. Obese men have three times low sperm count in comparison with men of the same age/weight conditions and tend to have lesser sexual intercourse due to lower sex drive. So, obese men may not have sex as frequently.

As obesity affects fertility in men, in the same way it can affect women fertility as well. Obese women, who try to become pregnant, experience longer time to conceive, although they are young and have a regular ovulatory/menstruation cycle. Obesity in women makes alterations in their ovaries. These alterations might be responsible for poorer reproductive outcomes like inability of egg to make an embryo. Fat might alter metabolism of egg and this change is unsafe for embryo formation. So, obese women are significantly less likely to conceive naturally. Obese women are at higher risks of experiencing miscarriages and other complications during pregnancy.

So if you are obese according to your BMI level, then this is the high time to do something about it. Losing weight not only keeps your body fit and free from future health risks but also improves your sex life!
