The 10 Most Advanced IVF and Fertility Centers 2018 The Most Advanced IVF And Fertility centres 2018 | Page 54

After doing the in depth research with more than 100 patients of infertility, at my clinic; I have found out
the most common causes of infertility in both males and females.
• Unhealthy and Insufficient Diet: This is an era of quick foods. Long working hours at office and
excessive workload make them think that they should grab a quick meal instead of a complete Indian
Thali. Even if they eat Indian food it comes out of office canteen. People are eating outside more and
more. When we eat outside food the hygiene and quality of food is not guaranteed. Instead of fruits,
nuts, milk etc. as a “To Go Snack” working people are majorly consuming sandwiches, vada pao, pav
bhaji etc. which provide minimum or no nutrition at all. To suppress their hunger people take help of
tea, coffee, black teas and coffees etc. This is a wrong practice. People should understand the
importance of food and health. People should carry healthy snacks such as fruits and nuts along with
them.
• Obesity & Malnutrition: Metro cities like Pune, Mumbai, Delhi etc. has more industries and more and
more people are into sitting jobs. Continuous sitting with an imbalanced diet leads to weight gain,
obesity and malnutrition.
• Irregular and Insufficient Sleep: Mobiles phones and extended working hours have snatched the sleep
from people in today’s time. Generally people sleep and wake up at different times on weekdays than
weekends which induces hormonal imbalance and leads to health complication including infertility.
• Stress: Busy lifestyle, career priority, long working hours leaves a person stressful and exhausted at the
end of the day. A stressful mind leads to health complications.
• Lack of Physical Activity: Our facilitated world leaves no space for physical activity. For example,
people own private vehicles and do minimum walking while commuting for daily works; most of the
buildings have lifts and people use them even if they have to go up by one floor; most of the people
don’t play sports because of lack of time. Lethargy is more prevalent and one feels lazy to do any
physical activity.
• Planning Past Fertile Period: Keeping career as a priority people push the baby planning to future. Our
fertility decreases with age. For women the fertility window starts to close after 35 while men are fertile
till late ages. But even if one partner has passed the fertile period it becomes difficult to conceive.
• Excessive or Wrong Use of Birth Control Measures: For long term child control women tend to use
birth control pills. In some cases it can affect their fertility. One should opt for better and harmless ways
of birth control. So far condoms have been proved as the most harmless method.
• Alcohol, Smoking & Drug Abuse: In metro cities, weekend and late night parties are becoming a part of
life. People consume much more amount of alcohol than the ideal allowance, which leads to infertility.
Movies and television influences people to indulge into smoking and drugs. People start with these
habits at early ages and by the time they make the decision of having kids; their fertile health is already
gone.
