I see many patients struggling with infertility and they
all have different stories to tell about
their infertility journey. Today the
lifestyle we live is the biggest reason that affects thousands and lakhs of
couples to become infertile. Sometimes it literally broke my heart when I
listened to their stories but
being and Infertility specialist, it is indeed my duty to give my best advise
to all the couples across the globe to live healthy and give them the best tips
to follow for their fertility. Here are certain tips that you need to keep in mind and
follow religiously to conceive:
1. First of all your age matters a lot:
For a woman the best reproductive years are in her 20s.
When a woman reaches her thirties, her fertility will gradually decline,
particularly after the age of 35. In your early 30’s you only have a 20% chance
of getting pregnant. So, plan early.
2. Lifestyle choices:
How you live is the another important factor to be
considered. If you are prone to take alcohol, smoking, drugs or taking
medications such as painkillers and anti-inflammatory,
it will definitely hamper your chances of getting pregnant on your own and then
you need to seek a fertility expert. Abstain from such choices.
3. Contraceptive pills:
Many women nowadays have been on the pill since their
teens, having sex before marriage or do not want to start family early is also
one factor to be taken care of. Such women don’t come off it until they
reach their 30s when they decide to have a baby, there may be underlying
fertility factors that they aren’t aware of. Stop taking it or seek your gynaecologist first.
4. Diet plays an important role:
Take ample amount of nutrients in your diet. Fertility is
a whole body event and not just something that happens in the fallopian tubes:
you need balanced blood sugar, nutrients for the cell membranes and protection
from free radicals. Include green leafy veggies, citrus fruits, nuts; milk in your diet, stay hydrated
always no matter what if you are not even feeling thirsty. It’s not just about
getting pregnant but also about the health of the eggs and sperm, and you can
build up the health of the eggs and sperm through diet.
Follow these simple steps and conceive faster.
Live healthy.
