Lifestyle Habits That Can Affect Male Fertility

Male fertility plays a crucial role in conception, yet many everyday habits can negatively impact sperm count, motility, and quality. At Malti IVF, experts guide couples toward healthier choices for better fertility outcomes.

Lifestyle Factors That Affect Sperm Health
  • 1. Smoking
    Cigarettes reduce sperm count, damage DNA, and weaken motility—making conception harder.
  • 2. Alcohol Consumption
    Regular drinking affects testosterone levels and reduces healthy sperm production.
  • 3. Poor Diet
    Fast food, sugary snacks, and processed items can increase oxidative stress, harming sperm.
  • 4. Heat Exposure
    Using laptops on knees, long bike rides, and saunas can raise scrotal temperature and reduce sperm count.
  • 5. Lack of Exercise
    Sedentary lifestyle leads to hormonal imbalance and low testosterone.
  • 6. Stress
    High stress affects testosterone and sexual performance.
Healthy Habits to Improve Male Fertility Naturally
  • Eat antioxidant-rich foods (nuts, fruits, leafy greens)
  • Stay hydrated
  • Maintain ideal body weight
  • Exercise regularly
  • Reduce smoking & alcohol
  • Avoid heat exposure
  • Manage stress with yoga or meditation

Small lifestyle changes can significantly improve chances of conception. With expert evaluation and guidance, Malti IVF helps men restore fertility and support their journey to fatherhood.
