The obesity harms to the masculine fertility

Every day there arise new studies of doctors or scientists who reveal some of the most important questions of the health. In this occasion, from this health blog we do to ourselves echo of a study published in the magazine “Fertility and Sterility”, in which is said that the obesity harms to the masculine fertility.


It is already known that the obesity has many contradictions in the organism. One of the studies last in going out to the light reflects that the obesity harms to the masculine fertility.

Namely he seems demonstrated that the obese men have more probabilities of suffering problems of fertility that those who have a normal weight for his height. This is what gets rid of a study published in the magazine “Fertility and Sterility”, in which he steadies himself that the obese men have three times more probabilities of having a lower number of sperm than the thin men.

In addition to this, in the study it is revealed that also they have three times more probabilities of having a low number of progressively mobile sperms (that is to say, that move) and almost the double of probabilities of having a high percentage of sperms of abnormal form.

The investigation, which was carried out in the University of Utah (Salt Lake City, the United States), has suggested that the men with excess of corporal fat have higher levels of the feminine hormone estrogen and it reduces the levels of the masculine hormone testosterone, which also believes that they affect to his fertility.

Finally, in the study that affirms that the obesity harms to the masculine fertility, one concludes that the men can improve the quality of his sperm and therefore increase his fertility by means of the reduction of his exhibition to the toxins, take showers instead of warm baths, moving away from the tobacco and to limit the consumption of the alcohol.
