Prevention Of Infertility

Most types of male infertility are not preventable. However, avoid drugs and consumption of snuff and alcohol abuse, which may contribute to male infertility. In addition, high temperatures can affect sperm production and motility. Although this effect is temporary, avoid hot baths and steam baths.

For couples can have sex two to three times a week to improve fertility. For frequent ejaculation may reduce sperm quality. Sperm survive in the female reproductive tract for up to 72 hours and an egg can be fertilized for up to 24 hours after ovulation.

A woman can increase your chances of getting pregnant in a number of ways:

Exercise moderately. Regular exercise is important, but if you are exercising so intensely, that menstruation is irregular or absent, your fertility may be compromised.

Avoid extremes of weight. Being overweight or underweight can affect your hormone production and cause infertility.

Avoid alcohol, tobacco and street. These substances can impair your ability to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy. Do not drink alcohol or smoke tobacco. Avoid illegal drugs such as marijuana and cocaine.

Limit caffeine. Women trying to become pregnant may want to limit caffeine consumption. Ask your doctor for instructions on the safe use of caffeine.

Limit medications. The use of prescription and nonprescription medicines can decrease your chances of getting pregnant or maintain pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about medications you take regularly.
