Also a large proportion of the drinking population is of child bearing age. Alcohol use has been linked to a number of reproductive diseases, including the possibility of having a child with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (a condition characterized by facial dysmorphia, growth deficits, and central nervous system abnormalities), an increased risk of fetal loss, and a lower likelihood of live birth.</p><p><br></p><p>Excessive alcohol consumption can cause a variety of chronic diseases, including hypertension, heart disease, liver disease, gastrointestinal bleeding, cancer (breast, mouth, throat, esophagus, liver, and colon), dementia and other cognitive deficits, anxiety/depression, and social and economic losses such as relationship damage and job loss.&nbsp;<br>In contrast, moderate alcohol consumption, defined as up to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for males, may provide some health benefits. But it is quite difficult to resist the temptation to drink more.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>The teratogenic effects of alcohol use during pregnancy is well documented. Alcohol can easily be transported through the placenta to the amniotic fluid and fetus. Because alcohol and its metabolites gradually increase in concentration in the amniotic fluid, the fetus is more exposed to more alcohol than the mother, resulting in reduced fetal metabolic enzyme activity. Teratogenicity is be caused by a diminished ability to neutralize oxidizing agents, increase in &nbsp;amounts of free radicals, and reactive oxygen species, which contribute to increased apoptosis in fetal central nervous system tissue.</p><p><br></p><p>Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders include fetal alcohol syndrome and birth defects caused by prenatal alcohol exposure. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is a group of illnesses characterized by behavioral and cognitive deficits, deformities in the skull and face, and delayed childhood development. Although several studies have shown that the severity of impairments or malformations worsens as the dosage and period of exposure rise, there is presently no safe dose or duration of exposure during pregnancy.</p><p><br></p><p>Excessive alcohol use in women can have a negative impact on ovarian reserve and fertility. Ovarian reserve is a woman's reproductive capacity as assessed by the amount of oocytes she has remaining. This reserve can be measured using several investigation , including serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels, and also the number of antral follicles.</p><p><br></p><p>Alcohol consumption in men also can lead to impaired fertility. Prolonged and excessive alcohol consumption has shown to reduced gonadotropin secretion, shrinking of the testicles, and lower levels of testosterone and sperm production.&nbsp;<br>Furthermore, drinking is associated with liver damage, which can result in hormonal abnormalities caused by an inability to metabolize estrogens. Excessive alcohol leads in reducuction in the quality of semen parameters leading to intermittent azoospermotheremia.</p><p>Empirical findings strongly suggest that even moderate alcohol use has a negative impact on the outcomes of assisted reproductive technology (ART).&nbsp;<br>Women who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) had a 13% decrease in the number of oocytes obtained and &nbsp;3 times increased likelihood of not achieving pregnancy and 2 times increased risk of miscarriage.</p><p>Women who consumed four or more alcoholic beverages per week had a lower risk of having a live birth. The results were usually interpreted as indicating inadequacies in the fertilization process. As a result, given that even moderate alcohol intake may affect the success of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) by lowering oocyte production and live birth rates, it is recommended that alcohol consumption be reduced prior to beginning IVF treatment.</p>

This is why it is recommended not to drink at all. If you decide to drink while trying to conceive, limit your intake to one or two units once or twice a week.&nbsp;</p><h3>Medication&nbsp;</h3><p>Some medications can harm a developing fetus and should be adjusted before becoming pregnant. Medicines used to treat epilepsy are a good example. These include sulfasalazine, nitrofurantoin, tetracyclines, cimetidine, colchicine, allopurinol, and several chemotherapy medications.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Stop using recreational drugs</strong>.&nbsp;</p><p>- marijuana, cocaine, and anabolic steroids.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Diabetes</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>If you have a medical condition that requires frequent monitoring, such as diabetes, you should start planning before you get pregnant.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Weight control</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>If you are extremely overweight or underweight, your chances of becoming pregnant may be lowered. To increase your chances of conceiving, keep your body mass index (BMI) between 20 and 30.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Sex and Fertility</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>It is recommended not to try to time your sexual activity to coincide with expected ovulation. This might induce anxiety, which can occasionally lead to sexual or relationship issues.&nbsp;</p><p>Sperm can persist for up to seven days after unprotected sex between a couple. As a result, even though an egg (ovum) only lives for 12-24 hours, having sex two or three times per week is enough if you're trying to conceive. Studies have revealed that having sex every two to three days increases your chances of becoming pregnant.&nbsp;</p><h2>Infertility therapy.&nbsp;</h2><p>Treatments for infertility depends on underlying cause. Treatments, such as medicines may include&nbsp;<br>Some Medication can improve sperm count in some men with infertility. Your doctor may prescribe an estrogen receptor blocker, such as clomiphene citrate, which stimulates the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in the brain. This generates hormone production and the release of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which can increase sperm production.</p><h3>Medication.</h3><p>Men with low testosterone levels may be prescribed human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) or HMG to adjust FSH and LH levels and increase sperm production. This medication is injected three times per week for as long as six months. Your doctor uses regular blood tests to monitor testosterone levels, adjusting the medication dosage accordingly.<br>There are several more medication which may be advised by your treating Doctor</p><h3>Surgical procedures for &nbsp;Male Infertility&nbsp;</h3><p>Varicocele are bloated veins in the testes, which may decrease fertility. This disorder can be cured by surgery.&nbsp;</p><p>The tubes within the male reproductive system which transport sperm may become obstructed, due to injury or vasectomy. In some cases, the blockage can be surgically removed and the tubes can be repaired.&nbsp;</p><p>If surgery does not work, surgical procedure called <strong>Percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA)</strong> are very helpful in retrical of sperm directlt from site of storage. A short needle is placed into the epididymis while undergoing local anaesthesia. Sperm is extracted and either utilized immediately for ICSI or frozen for future use.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><h3>Artificial insemination to treat male infertility ( IUI )&nbsp;</h3><p>The man's sperm is collected which is then cleansed, and concentrated before being inserted in partner's uterus via the cervix using thin tube .&nbsp;</p><p>This option is used when:&nbsp;</p><p>• There is poor sperm concentration in their semen.&nbsp;</p><p>• There are functional issues, including impotence.&nbsp;</p><p>• Antibodies against sperm can be seen in &nbsp;seminal fluid.&nbsp;</p><p>• Cervical mucus block sperm transport due to several reasons.&nbsp;</p><h3>In-vitro fertilization (IVF) for male infertility.&nbsp;</h3><p>In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) involves collecting sperm from a male and placing it in a specially designed incubator. Egg is retrived by a process called Ovum Pickup. &nbsp;</p><p>The eggs are combined with sperm and fertilized by placing in a specialized incubator. The fertilized eggs mature into embryos, which are subsequently placed in the woman's uterus via a tiny tube introduced through the cervix.&nbsp;</p><p>Male infertility treatment with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)&nbsp;</p><p>In cases where there are very few sperm intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is an option.&nbsp;</p><p>ICSI involves injecting a single sperm into each egg under ICSI manipulator. The fertilized eggs develop into embryos, which are then transported to the uterus at the right time.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Understanding Male Infertility

<h2>Importance of Egg Quality on Fertility&nbsp;</h2><p>In vitro fertilization (IVF) is only effective if the eggs used are of high quality. A better chance of fertilization and a healthy embryonic development is associated with eggs of high quality. Treatment success rates for infertility are higher for women who work to improve the quality of their eggs.<br>Egg quality can be impacted by a number of things, such as one's age, way of life, and health status. The quality of eggs can be improved in many ways, while there are some that are out of one's hands.&nbsp;</p><figure id="figure-s3eeu32knelzqm1xf0"><iframe id="s3eeu32knelzqm1xf0" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dv-gOyUz85E" class="w-full bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowFullScreen="" data-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dv-gOyUz85E" data-corners="large" data-fullWidth="false"></iframe></figure><h3>Egg Quality Influencing Factors&nbsp;</h3><p><strong>Age&nbsp;</strong></p><p>When considering egg quality, age is a major consideration. A woman's fertility declines with age because her egg quality declines. Having said that, it is still possible for older women to enhance the quality of their eggs.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Decisions Regarding Way of Life</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>Egg quality can be significantly affected by smoking, heavy alcohol intake, and an unhealthy diet. To increase the chance of a healthy pregnancy, women should make good lifestyle choices.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Health Issues</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>The quality of an egg can be impacted by several conditions like endometriosis and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
