When I went to my Gynac for my menstrual problems, she told me that losing weight can help. I was so surprised to learn this. But according to her, fats do no good to the body and leads to so many disorders including menstrual problems. It is important that menstrual cycles must be regular especially when you are ready for conception. But if you are over weight then there will really be problems while you want to conceive. Both male and female must not be over weight otherwise it does affect the fertility levels negatively. Weight loss and infertility is thus related directly to each other. If you are more in weight, the chances of infertility do rise. In case of men the sperm count may be low or the quality of the semen may not be up to the mark to boost conception. And in case of female, weight issues may be coming in the way of ovulation. It may also be that the follicles growth may not be up to the mark. Weight loss and fertility has been studies since many years and many doctors believe that losing even a few pounds can help fertility.
