Infertility is common today and has become a clinical
problem today affecting 8 to 12 %
couples worldwide. However, usually people
think that infertility is a female problem but science has proved both the
partners contribute equally to infertility. In-fact, many studies claims that
40% cases of infertility are due to males.
Let’s see how our busy and hectic lifestyle contributes
heavily in male infertility.
Today, major problem in developing countries like India
is the growing MNC culture where both the partners are working with erratic
working hours and hardly got any time to be together. And of course the work
place stress as everybody knows heavily contributes to sub-fertility or
infertility in a couple, leading to an inability to have relations during the
fertile period.
Today’s generation couples tend to marry late and then
plan pregnancy even later, which further worsen the chances of pregnancy. A
woman’s reproductive age spans between 15-45
years. When such a couple starts
planning pregnancy, the clock is already ticking and they have a limited time
for a desired outcome.
Men who work in night shifts affected more as compared to
men working in morning shifts with infertility as their biological clock is
very badly disturbed. They sleep during the day and to keep themselves awake,
they often smoke, which damages the system further. The stress at work place
and sitting for long hours at work stations is also found to reduce the sperm
count.
Another important contributory factor to the growing
problem of infertility is lifestyle changes, with most corporate couples
leading a sedentary lifestyle, mostly working on computers and laptops.
Obesity, due to unhealthy food habits, also leads to male or female
sub-fertility. The growing incidence of alcohol and smoking especially in males
has worsened fertility issues.
But thanks to technology due to which we have found the
treatment for infertility through IVF or IUI. On the other hand today women as
well as men are also trying stress management techniques to overcome this
problem.
There are numerous methods for decreasing stress are
available today, including learning relaxation techniques such as yoga or
meditation and stress management strategies, going for a vacation, deep
breathing exercises etc. We also provide counselling sessions on one to one
basis to couples so that they can freely speak up their mind. This helps in
overcoming their problem.
