Underweight male infertility & CSLC CAP

Building a Family: Addressing Underweight Male Infertility with Clinically Supported Lifestyle Correction (Based on Dr. Jolly Thomson’s Approach)

Male infertility can be a significant challenge on the path to parenthood, and while many factors contribute, being underweight can sometimes play a role. Maintaining a healthy body weight is crucial for optimal reproductive function in men. At LCC Hospital in Kochi, Kerala, we understand the complexities of male infertility. Leveraging Clinically Supported Lifestyle Correction (Based on Dr. Jolly Thomson’s Approach), we provide comprehensive, sensitive care to help men achieve a healthy weight and enhance their fertility.

How Underweight Status Can Affect Male Fertility

While obesity is more commonly discussed in relation to fertility, being significantly underweight (low Body Mass Index or BMI) can also impact male reproductive health. This may be due to:

• Hormonal Imbalances: Insufficient body fat can disrupt the delicate balance of hormones essential for sperm production, such as testosterone and gonadotropins.

• Nutritional Deficiencies: A lack of essential vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients due to inadequate calorie intake can impair sperm quality, quantity, and motility.

• Reduced Sperm Production: The body may prioritize essential functions over reproduction when faced with inadequate energy reserves.

• Lowered Libido and Sexual Function: General fatigue and hormonal issues associated with being underweight can affect sexual desire and performance.

Addressing an underweight status requires a careful, medically supervised approach to ensure healthy weight gain and overall well-being.
