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:
1.& nbsp; Hormone levels are unbalanced
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.
2.& nbsp; Sperm quality decreased
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.
3.& nbsp; Erectile dysfunction
Obesity may cause poor blood circulation and affect the blood supply to the penis, thereby increasing the risk of erectile dysfunction, which directly affects sex and the possibility of conception.
4.& nbsp; Increased testicular temperature
Obesity may cause elevated scrotal temperatures, while sperm production requires a lower temperature environment. Increased temperature may affect sperm production and maturation.
5.& nbsp; Affects fertility related inflammation
Obesity may increase the level of inflammation in the body, and this inflammatory environment may have a negative impact on sperm production and function.
