Obesity refers to excessive accumulation of fat in the body, which may be caused by many factors, including genetics, diet, lifestyle, etc. For men, obesity may affect their health in the following ways

Fertility:

Obese men tend to experience changes in hormone levels, especially decreases in testosterone levels and increases in estrogen levels. This hormone imbalance may affect sperm production and quality.

Studies have shown that obese men may have lower sperm count and vitality, and the proportion of abnormal sperm may increase, which may lead to reduced fertility.
