पुरुषों में बांझपन का खतरा बढ़ा देती है ये बीमारी – Hepatitis B

World Hepatitis Day 2022: यह दिन इस स्थिति के बारे में जागरूकता पैदा करने का प्रयास करता है। हेपेटाइटिस बी एक संभावित गंभीर परिणाम वाले वायरस के कारण होने वाला लीवर संक्रमण है, जो दुनिया भर के सभी आयु वर्ग के लोगों को प्रभावित करता है। हेपेटाइटिस का गर्भाशय ग्रंथियों के सामान्य कामकाज पर कोई प्रभाव नहीं पड़ता है। हालांकि, यह वायरस पुरुषों में शुक्राणुजनन को नकारात्मक रूप से प्रभावित करता है। यह Sperm count, Testosterone levels, Motility, Viability and Morphology का कारण बनता है जो समग्र प्रजनन क्षमता और उनमें संतान पैदा करने की क्षमता को और प्रभावित करता है। विश्व हेपेटाइटिस दिवस 2022 पर, Infertile Couples में HBsAg और HCV के परीक्षण की पेशकश करना समय की मांग है। इससे उन्हें प्रजनन चिकित्सा के बारे में कुछ स्पष्टता प्राप्त करने में मदद मिलेगी, जिसे उन्हें चुनना चाहिए और एक असंक्रमित साथी या बच्चे को संचरण के किसी भी संभावित जोखिम को कम करना चाहिए।"

पुरुषों को Hepatitis होने की वजह से उनमें Male Infertility का खतरा हो सकता है। विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन (WHO, World Health Organization) की तरफ से जारी किए गए एक आंकड़ें में इस बात का खुलासा हुआ है। WHO की रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक दुनियाभर में तकरीबन 36 करोड़ लोगों को Hepatitis B या Hepatitis C है। Hepatitis के कारण व्यक्ति के Liver में सूजन हो जाता है। साथ ही Cirrhosis जैसी गंभीर बीमारियां भी हो जाती हैं। इन्हीं वजहों से पुरुषों में बांझपन का खतरा बढ़ जाता है।

Dr. Health के Infertility Specialist Dr. Himanshu Dhawan कहते हैं, “Hepatitis का अंडाशय या गर्भाशय ग्रंथियों के सामान्य कामकाज पर कोई प्रभाव नहीं पड़ता। हालांकि इस Virus से पुरुषों में sperm production पर नकारात्मक प्रभाव पड़ता है। इससे Sperm count, Testosterone level, गतिशीलता और व्यवहार्यता में कमी आती है, जिससे उत्पादकता, प्रजनन क्षमता, और men infertility पर असर पड़ता है।“

Hepatitis क्या है?

यह मूल रूप से liver की बीमारी होती है, जो Viral Infection होने के कारण होती है। इस अवस्था में liver में सूजन आती है। Hepatitis में पांच प्रकार के वायरस होते हैं, जैसे – A, B, C, D, & E। Type B और C लाखों लोगों में chronic बीमारी का कारण बन रहे हैं क्योंकि इनके कारण Liver Cirrhosis और cancer होता है।

Hepatitis वायरस के 5 प्रकार-

Hepatitis A - WHO के अनुसार हर साल 1.4 मिलयन लोग इस बीमारी से ग्रस्त हो रहे हैं। ये खाना और पानी के विषाक्त होने से यह आम तौर फैलता है।
Hepatitis B - Infected blood के ट्रांसफ्यूशन और सिमन और दूसरे fluids के exposure के कारण यह संक्रमित होता है।
Hepatitis C - Hepatitis C वायरस के कारण होता है। `यह ब्लड और infected injection के इस्तेमाल से होता है।
Hepatitis D - यह Hepatitis D वायरस (HDV) के कारण होता है। जो लोग पहले से HBV virus के infected होते हैं वे ही इस Virus से संक्रमित होते हैं। HDV और HBV दोनों के एक साथ होने के कारण स्थिति और भी बदतर हो जाती है।
Hepatitis E - Hepatitis E virus के कारण यह होता है। दुनिया के ज्यादातर देशों में Hepatitis के संक्रमण का यही कारण है। यह विषाक्त पानी और खाना के कारण ज्यादा होता है।

Acute Hepatitis - अचानक लीवर में सूजन होता है जिसका लक्षण छह महीने तक रहता है और रोगी धीरे-धीरे ठीक होने लगता है। HAV infection के कारण आम तौर पर acute Hepatitis होता है।
Chronic Hepatitis - Chronic HCV इन्फेक्शन से 13-150 मिलयन लोग दुनिया भर में प्रभावित होते हैं। लीवर Cancer और Liver के बीमारी के कारण ज्यादा से ज्यादा लोग मरते हैं। HCV infection chronic patient का Immune System भी बुरी तरह से infect होता है।

वायरल इन्फेक्शन (Viral Infection)
Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, या Hepatitis C virus के कारण इसका मूल कारण है।
ऑटोइम्यून कंडिशन (Autoimmune Condition)
कभी-कभी शरीर के Immune cells से यह पता चलता है कि Liver का Cells क्षतिग्रस्त हो रहा है।
Alcohol
Alcohol सीधे liver के द्वारा metabolized होता है, जिसके कारण यह शरीर के दूसरे भागों में भी संचारित होने लगता है। इसलिए अत्यधिक मात्रा में alcohol का सेवन करने से hepatitis होने का खतरा होता है।
ज्यादा मात्रा में दवाई लेना
कुछ दवाइयां जैसे एसिटामिनोफेन का सेवन जब बहुत ज्यादा होने लगता है तब इसका विषाक्त पदार्थ liver cells के सूजन का कारण बन जाता है।

इसके बचाव -

इसके बचाव छोटी-छोटी चीजों के जरिए इस Virus के संपर्क में आने से बचा सकता है। जैसे

खाना खाने से पहले हाथों को साबुन से जरूर धोएं।
फल व सब्जियों को अच्छी तरह धोकर खाएं।
बाजार की बर्फ का इस्तेमाल न करें।
Hepatitis B का vaccine लगवाएं।
Sterilized और नई सूईं का इस्‍तेमाल करें।
असुरक्षित यौन संबंध न बनाएं।
Blood किसी मान्यता प्राप्त Blood bank से ही लें। यह सुनिश्चित कर लें कि Hepatitis की screening ठीक से हुई है।

The Bottom Line - Dr. Health

स्वास्थ्य विशेषज्ञ Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS) द्वारा धूम्रपान और शराब छोड़ने, जीवनशैली में बदलाव आदि की सलाह दी जाती हैं जो मधुमेह, मोटापा आदि को नियंत्रित करते हैं। प्रजनन पथ में किसी भी संक्रमण के मामले में, Ayurvedic treatment का सुझाव दिया जा सकता है। डॉक्‍टर हिमांशु धवन कहते हैं, "आयुर्वेद में पुरुष बांझपन और Hepatitis का स्थाई उपचार उपलब्ध है। आयुर्वेद में कई ऐसी हर्बल दवाईयाँ हैं, जो पुरुष के वीर्य में सुधार करके उनकी प्रजनन क्षमता को बढ़ाती हैं। प्राकृतिक तरीके से पुरुष बाँझपन को दूर करने में किसी भी प्रकार का कोई दुष्प्रभाव नही होता है।' आयुर्वेद मुख्य रूप से दिनचर्या, योग, निद्रा, आहार, इत्यादि पर अधिक जोर देता है जिससे गंभीर से गंभीर बीमारी में बहुत ही जल्द सफलता प्राप्त हो जाती है।

7 Environmental Pollutants that Cause Male Infertility

With the extensive progress in technology, our lives have been made easy, but it has made every one of us to rely on the technology, and to do so, we are exhausting all our natural resources and energy, which in turn is leading to the degradation of our environment, a lesser amount of resources for sustaining our life and Health relating problems, like male infertility.

“As we are overusing natural fuels to get the motor started, we have also offered a hand to the air pollution that has raised in our home the mother earth.”

“With an increased use of plastic, the sea, land, even the air has been permanently polluted.”

“Even after experiencing this dooming climatic pollution and health problems, we have now come under impacts of harmful chemicals such as industrial waste, herbicides, food additives, insecticides, and pesticides which we come in contact with daily.”

“Due to this rise in pollution, 70% of our water is getting polluted daily.”

“Fertility problems in men and women have increased drastically by impairing the process of Sertoli cell, sperm function, spermatogenesis, and steroidogenesis.”

This type of air pollution is created at the surface of the earth by the combustion of fossil fuels. The ground-level ozone is formed by the reaction of the precursors of fossil fuel and the UV rays emitted by the sun. It is known that ozone particles can cross the blood-gas barrier and enter the bloodstream, causing oxidative stress that disrupts testicular and sperm function. Evidence shows that long-term exposure to ozone has an increased risk of health problems such as premature death, asthma, and heart attack and can also cause low sperm count.

This is a colorless toxin that is formed by the oxidation of nitrogen. NO2 is formed when fossil fuels such as coal, gas, diesel, and petroleum are burned at high temperatures. It is one of the main pollutants that causes air pollution. All the motor vehicles such as trucks, cars, buses, power plants, diesel-powered construction equipment, and industrial boilers. Long-term exposure to this pollutant compound can cause fertility problems in men, such as decreased sperm motility and sperm toxicity.

Sulphur dioxide is also a colorless gas that has a strong irritating odor. The primary source of this pollution is burning fossil fuels and by smelting mineral ores that hold sulphur. Volcanic eruptions can also be a source of sulphur dioxide pollution in our environment. When sulphur dioxide emission occurs, it combines with the air and water, which creates sulphuric acid, which eventually leads to acid rain. The research found that exposure to sulphur dioxide may cause lower semen quality by affecting the early stage of sperm development. It also stated that SO2 could also reduce sperm count and increase sperm malformation and abnormal testicular pathological changes.

This pollutant is formed from the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels such as gasoline, natural gas, and wood. It can also be produced by motor vehicles, power plants, wildfires, and incinerators. Carbon monoxide can enter your body through your skin and while breathing. CO exposure can happen while engaged in welding work, iron and steel foundries, smoking procedures, car repair shops, and service stations where vehicle exhaust gases are present. A study found that exposure to carbon monoxide can cause a reduction in sperm.

PAH are class of chemicals that are naturally formed in coal, crude oil, and gasoline. They form up in our air when fuels such as coal, gas, wood, garbage, and tobacco are burned. You can get exposed to PAH through your skin, breathing, and consuming grilled and charred food items or when eating food that has high PAH particles that have settled from the air. Men who are exposed to PAHs through occupation or air pollution have bulky PAH-DNA adducts in the sperm, Lowered sperm count, Motility, and morphology alterations.

1). By using public transport we can reduce the usage of personal cars and motorbikes that can decrease the emissions degrading our Health.

2). Always turn off lights and fans when not in use

3). Recycle and reuse

4). Increase forest supervision to stop forest fires

5). Use filters in the chimneys of big factories and industries that mass-produce consumer goods.

6). Do not burst crackers

7). Plant more trees that will help reduce air pollution

8). Always check the levels of air pollution before going out, and if the levels are high, use a mask and do not exercise in such conditions and go for indoor exercise.

9). Use electric bikes or cars that do not emit Health defecting gas.

10). Stay away from factories and industries that produce or emit such pollutants.

Male infertility has been the main factor that causes difficulties in conceiving. There are many factors that cause male infertility, one of which is air pollution, which has been increasing day by day. We have dumped what we do not want. We have taken everything from this earth without even thinking twice. Now is our chance to repent and do good for all of us.

Dr. Health has dedicated its services to the betterment of the male population who are struggling with problems of male fertility such as low sperm count, nil sperm count, varicocele, premature ejaculation, and Erectile dysfunction. With the guidance of Dr.Himanshu Dhawan, many people have found relief from fertility ailments with the help of Ayurvedic medicines and the Ayurvedic way of life.

Help yourself and everyone else to breathe cleaner air. Please do not contribute to the ultimate cruelty going on to our earth and ourselves. Opt for a cleaner source of energy and live longer with your family and the whole world.

World No Tobacco Day 2022: How Cigarette Smoke Can Affect Male Fertility

Can smoking hurt your sperm? Yes. It can also negatively affect male fertility.

Smoking is injurious to health. The caution you that may have come across ubiquitously in your day-to-day life. But still, it goes unheeded. Cigarette or tobacco smoking not only affect your lungs but also leads to the health of your kidneys, heart, & even sperms. Yeah, it can lead to male and female infertility. In this article, Dr. Himanshu Dhawan, Male Infertility Specialist, Dr. Health, sheds light on the effects of cigarette & tobacco smoking on Male Fertility.

There is no secret that smoking is damaging to our health. Most individuals are aware that it enhances the risk for heart, vascular, & lung diseases, though still, a major chunk doesn’t realize that the toxin contained in cigarettes or tobacco can also affect fertility in both men & women, leading to erectile dysfunction (ED), poor sperm quality, & pregnancy complications as well. Recent data shows that smoking habits might be responsible for fertility struggles in as many as 13% of couples.

For couples struggling with infertility - knowledge is power. To aid these couples to improve their chances of getting pregnant, fertility specialist Dr. Himanshu Dhawan, BAMS, explains how smoking impacts fertility for men.

Does Male Smoking Cause Male Infertility?

Cigarettes contain toxins that are often blamed for their bad effect on male health. Men who smoke are exposed to high levels of metals like cadmium & lead that have been linked to decreased fertility. Lead & cadmium levels have been found to significantly affect semen quality resulting in poor sperm concentration, shape, & movement.

However, you must know that smoking doesn’t stand to be the only cause of infertility in men. There can also be other causes of infertility, such as age, low sperm production, or abnormal sperm function.

Can Smoking Affect Sperms?

Smoking does not spare any organs or cells, & hence, it has a negative impact on sperm health due to smoking being unavoidable. Studies have shown a decrease in the quality of semen and a 23% decrease in sperm concentration in men who smoke as compared to a non-smoker. Smoking also impacts sperm motility which makes it difficult to fertilize eggs. And, if the egg is fertilized, the embryo might have fewer chances of survival due to harmful chemicals in the embryo & growing fetus. Smoking in men also enhances the risk of a non-viable pregnancy & hence it puts you at high risk of miscarriages.

Does Smoking Lead to DNA Damage in Sperm?

Some recent studies have found that the sperm of smokers has enhanced DNA fragmentation. The DNA-damaged sperm might lead to problems with embryo development, fertilization, embryo implantation, & increased miscarriage rates. Male smokers might also have abnormal hormone levels that can affect fertility.

Dr. Himanshu Dhawan also says, “Male smoking is related to decreased pregnancy rates & possibly increased miscarriage rates. Secondhand smoke can harm female partners’ fertility, as well. When he smokes, it not only decreases his sperm health. It also decreases her fertility.”

How Can Smoking Cause Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

Smoking cigarettes, cigars, or pipe tobacco on the regular basis can damage your blood vessels, reducing arterial blood flow throughout the body. The key culprit is nicotine, which is an identified vasoconstrictor (a type of chemical which reduces blood flow throughout the body).

It can be extremely damaging to your sexual performance, as erections are reliant on the mix of signaling from your brain and a dependable level of blood supply via the arteries of men's penis. When you feel sexually aroused, your brain sends the signal to nerves in the men’s penis. This triggers the opening of arteries, increasing blood flow to the corpus cavernosum—the spongy tissue of the penis which fills & hardens to form the erection.

5 Dreadful Factors to Blame for Male Infertility – Tips to Overcome it

Want to become a dad? Here's what you should do to give you & your partner the best chance of parenthood. Did you know -wearing tight pants or maintaining sitting in a single place for long stretches can result in a low sperm count or male infertility? Continue to read this article and embark on all your answers.

In the last two decades, the reproductive health of males has taken a serious beating seeing a bunch of factors, most of which can be credited to the faulty lifestyle. From bike riding to wearing tight pants and, ironically, smoking & drinking alcohol, there are lots of factors.

Says Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS), "It is a serious problem of modern-day lifestyle today. Male Infertility has increased many folds due to people’s bad habits & poor lifestyles. Any type of addiction is indeed bad for the reproductive health", "But, the problem can always be corrected with the lifestyle improvements and Ayurvedic treatments", he added.

Female fertility is often in the news, & we know that a women’s age & health can affect her ability to become pregnant. We do not see so much discussion on male fertility, but if you are trying to become a dad, you need to be aware of the factors that can temporarily or permanently reduce male fertility. Some factors to pay attention to when you are planning to conceive are –

Beware! Prolonged Sitting Can Heat Up The Testicles

Sitting, whether it is for work, for long driving trips, or just to watch television, can also trap heat around the testicles, and that is not beneficial for male fertility. Take breaks to stand and walk around. Prolonged sitting in your workplace can also overheat your testicles. Thus, if you sit at a desk all day, it's possible that the quality of your sperm might be affected.
Remaining sedentary might be particularly challenging if you drive for a living. One study that is looking at taxi drivers suggests that car vibrations might contribute to fertility issues.

Laptops Can Burn You More Than A Slap

Considering laptops can get hot enough to burn the legs, guys may want to keep them away from the crown jewels, as well. There’s evidence that, just like in hot tubs & saunas, the heat from a laptop can raise the scrotal temperature that, again, might interfere with sperm production.
Sitting with the laptop on your lap, even if it is on the padded tray, can also significantly increase the temperature of your testicles. If possible, use the laptop on the table instead. The battery of laptops can produce quite a bit of heat. While not all the experts agree that laptops can cause male infertility, Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS) says – “if you are trying to conceive, you might have to keep the laptop on a table or desk instead of on your lap just to be safe.”

Be Careful! Tight Trousers Or Pants Can Damage Testicles

“I have seen numerous cases of men who have twisted their testicles due to wearing tight trousers or pants,” said Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS). When you wear tight pants, jeans, or briefs, you are putting your scrotum in cozy quarters, which can trap heat in the testicles, & this is particularly true during hot summer months when you might already be overheated. "Testicles hang in men’s scrotum need to keep cool – they need to be 2.2 degrees centigrade cooler than the core body temperature," says Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS), men's health expert at Dr. Health." If men wear tight pants or underwear or trousers, their testicles become too, due to which both testosterone & sperm production decrease – a common reason for male infertility. You can wear boxers or loose pants, which are made from natural fiber – cotton.

Yeah! 3 Pegs of Alcohol Can Turn You Infertile

It's not just the ladies who need to check their alcohol consumption if they are planning for a baby anytime soon. Even the males need to be careful about their booze doze. The fact is that alcohol causes infertility in males.
If you are an alcoholic person & you are consuming 60ml plus of any alcoholic drink in one day, there are fair chances that you can turn infertile. Drinking alcohol lowers testosterone levels, causes erectile dysfunction, & decreases sperm production. Moreover, liver diseases that are caused by excessive drinking also might lead to fertility problems in men

Smoking, A Hazard To Your Sperm Count

So, if you are too much into Smoking tobacco or Marijuana, it is directly going to affect your fertility. Smoking lowers the sperm count. Second-hand smoke might affect the fertility of males. Male smokers can suffer decreased sperm quality with lower mobility which boots the numbers of abnormally shaped sperm. Moreover, if you are a chain smoker, it might also decrease the sperm's ability to fertilize eggs.
High alcohol consumption and heavy smoking can cause lower testosterone levels & alter sexual function. Smoking can also adversely affect male fertility, as it might lower sperm count & make it challenging for the little fellows to make their way to a fallopian tube & fertilize an egg.

It’s never too late to improve your sperm health. Thus, if you are trying to conceive, staying away from all such habits can make a significant difference. Good health comes from a strict fitness attitude. A fit attitude of males means a robust & well-maintained male reproductive system that avoids heat stress on their testicles. Many men who are diagnosed with male factor infertility face an emotionally complex journey. A fit body, a good lifestyle, and living with an Ayurvedic approach always yield fertility in men. A couple facing male infertility needs to communicate about what is happening to them.

If you want an expert consultation to see improvements in sperm quality, you can come down to our Male Infertility Treatment at Dr. Health to increase your chances of reproductive success.

Male Infertility in the 20s: पुरुषों में 20-30 साल के बीच बांझपन होने के मुख्य कारण और सुझाव

डॉ. हेल्थ के आयुर्वेदिक विशेषज्ञ प्रमुख डॉ. हिमाँशु धवन (BAMS) बता रहे हैं आखिर क्यों बढ़ रहा है पुरुषों में बांझपन का खतरा और क्या हैं इसके लक्षण -
Male Infertility in the 20s: जैसे जैसे पुरुषों की उम्र बढ़ती जाती है, बाँझपन की संभावना अधिक होती जाती है। हालाँकि यह भी कहा जाता है की male इनफर्टिलिटी सबसे अधिक 35 साल के बाद देखने को मिलती है, लेकिन आजकल बहुत सारे युवा लोग भी इस समस्या का सामना कर रहे हैं। आजकल, 20s में भी कपल्स के लिए बांझपन इतना असामान्य नहीं है। और WHO की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, सामान्य आबादी में बांझपन की मौजूदगी 15-20 प्रतिशत है, और पुरुष बांझपन इस दर में 20-40 प्रतिशत का योगदान देता है। रिपॉर्ट के अनुसार भारत में पुरुष बांझपन की वैल्यू लगभग 23% है। लब्बोलुआब यह है कि पिछले कुछ वर्षों में भारत में पुरुषों में बांझपन लगातार बढ़ रहा है।

शराब: शराब का सेवन अधिक करने से टेस्टोस्टेरोन का लेवल कम हो जाता है और साथ ही स्पर्म काउंट भी कम हो सकता है।
धूम्रपान: धूम्रपान न करने वाले अन्य लोगों की तुलना में धूम्रपान करने वाले लोगों में स्पर्म काउंट कम होता है।
तनाव: तनाव भी पुरुष बाँझपन का एक मुख्य कारण है। यदि तनाव लम्बे समय से है तो यह आपके sperm पैदा करने वाले होर्मोन को असंतुलित कर देता है।
मोटापा: शरीर का वजन अधिक होने के कारण हॉर्मोन में बदलाव देखे जाते हैं, और जिसके कारणवश पुरुषों में बाँझपन की समस्या पैदा हो सकती है।
वेरीकोसील: वेरीकोसील एक ऐसी स्थति है जिसमे टेस्टिकल्स की नसें सूज जाती हैं। वेरीकोसील स्पर्म उत्पादन में कमी या फिर स्पर्म की गुणवत्ता के सबसे सामान्य कारणों में से एक है।
लौ स्पर्म काउंट: पुरुषों में बांझपन की समस्या का एक मुख्य कारण स्पर्म की ख़राब गुणवत्ता यानि की लौ स्पर्म क्वालिटी और स्पर्म की संख्या कम होना भी है। जब वीर्य में स्पर्म काउंट कम होता है, तो इस कारणवश महिला को गर्भधारण करने में दिक्कत आ सकती है।

यह माना गया है की प्रत्येक 8 में से 1 कपल को गर्भधारण करने में कठिनाई आती है। और इसका मुख्य कारण पुरुष बांझपन है। पुरुष बांझपन को प्रभावित करने वाले मुख्या कारकों में से एक है युवाओं का अनहैल्दी लाइफस्टाइल। डॉ. हिमांशु धवन कहते हैं, पुरुषों को अपने 20 के दशक से ही कुछ कारकों के बारे में सावधानी बरतनी चाहिए, इसमें शामिल हैं:

हैल्दी BMI बनाये रखें: BMI चरम पर नहीं होना चाहिए। एक बेहतर रिप्रोडक्शन क्षमता के लिए आदर्श BMI की रेंज लगभग 20-30 होती है।
रोजाना व्यायाम करें: रोजाना लगभग 20-30 मिनट निश्चित रूप से व्यायाम करना पुरुषों में बाँझपन को कम करने में मदद करता है।
7-8 घंटे की नींद रोजाना है जरुरी: पुरुषों में बांझपन को दूर करने के लिए लगभग 7-8 घंटे की नींद लेना और सही समय पर लेना बहुत जरुरी है। जल्दी सोना और जल्दी उठना बहुत जरुरी है।
जीवनशैली में परिवर्तन: जीवनशैली में परिवर्तन करने से, जैसे की वजन कम करना या धूम्रपान और शराब पीना छोड़कर मेल इन्फर्टिलिटी को काफी हद तक काम किया जा सकता है। पुरुषों को अपने शरीर को स्वस्थ बनाये रखना चाहिए - अच्छी तरह खायें और विषाक्त पदार्थों खासकर की धूम्रपान से दूर रहें। और तभी एक नये मेहमान को घर में लाने की योजना बनायें।
तनाव और अवसाद की तरह ही हमारी आधुनिक जीवनशैली में प्रदूषण की बढ़ती समस्या भी इसमें प्रमुख भूमिका निभाती है। लंबे समय तक गाड़ी में बैठे रहने के कारण और गोद में लैपटॉप लेकर घंटों घर पर काम करने से भी वृषण का तापमान बढ़ता है जिससे स्पर्म की गुणवत्ता कम हो जाती है। हाल के वर्षों में एक और प्रवृत्ति देखी गई है कि कपल्स अपने करियर पर ध्यान केंद्रित करने के कारण गर्भावस्था में देरी करते हैं। और फिर बाद में बांझपन की समस्या बढ़ जाती है।

स्ट्रेसफुल लाइफस्टाइल और किसी लम्बी बीमारी भी लो-स्पर्म काउंट की समस्या का कारण बनते है। तो वहीं, कई पोषक तत्वों की कमी, फ्री-रैडिकल्स से नुकसान जैसे कारणों का भी असर फर्टिलिटी पर पड़ता है। लेकिन, समय पर डॉक्टर की मदद और सही लाइफस्टाइल से इस परेशानी से राहत भी पायी जा सकती है।
डॉक्‍टर हिमांशु धवन कहते हैं, "आयुर्वेद में पुरुष बांझपन का स्थाई उपचार उपलब्ध है। आयुर्वेद में कई ऐसी हर्बल दवाईयाँ हैं, जो पुरुष के वीर्य में सुधार करके उनकी प्रजनन क्षमता को बढ़ाती हैं। प्राकृतिक तरीके से पुरुष बाँझपन को दूर करने में किसी भी प्रकार का कोई दुष्प्रभाव नही होता है।' आयुर्वेद मुख्य रूप से दिनचर्या, योग, निद्रा, आहार, इत्यादि पर अधिक जोर देता है जिससे गंभीर से गंभीर बीमारी में बहुत ही जल्द सफलता प्राप्त हो जाती है।

Beat Premature Ejaculation with these Exercises

Premature ejaculation is a common male sexual disorder that affects approximately 4-39% of men of all age groups. The National Institute of health and care has found that premature ejaculation affects nearly 20-30% of men globally.

Premature ejaculation, also called as early ejaculation, is a sexual disorder that occurs in men. Pre-Mature Ejaculation can be defined as an early discharge of semen when indulged in sexual activity caused by minimum penile stimulation, whereas typical men's ejaculatory latency is approximately 4-8 minutes.

"It is said that men who struggle with this disorder have less control over their ejaculation, and many men have reported that they wished they lasted longer in bed."

Men struggling with premature ejaculation often report emotional and relationship distress, and some men feel embarrassed and do not indulge in a sexual relationship. Women consider premature ejaculation less of a problem, but studies have shown that the condition also causes stress to female partners.

Men avoid talking about their sexual problems which then worsens in time and causes permanent ailments which is why men themselves attempt to treat premature ejaculation by various means such as by distracting themselves and trying to focus their attention away from sexual impulses, medications that help to slow down ejaculation, and by going for surgeries such as Selective Dorsal Neurectomy(SDN)and Glans penis augmentation.

Some of the above treatments are effective, and some might even give bad side effects for the lifetime; that is why it is suggested to go for Ayurvedic treatment for Premature Ejaculation at Dr. Health that uses sexual therapies to correct the condition from its root and allow to have a stress free life.

Kegel Exercise (Pelvic Floor Exercise)

To perform this exercise, start by lying on your back, bring up your keens, your hands on the sides of your hips, and keep your head down. Now push your stomach upwards; you will feel a stretch in your pelvic area; while doing so, inhale. Lastly, release yourself from this posture and bring back your belly to the normal position. While doing so, try to get the feel of contracting the pelvic floor muscles (Pretend as if you are trying to avoid passing gas). Once you have identified the right muscles, you can perform the exercise while sitting and standing.

Cat and Camel Exercise

To perform this exercise, get down on your hands and your knees, keep your knees apart according to the space of your hips and your hands directly below your shoulders. Tighten your abdominal muscles and arch your spine upwards towards the ceiling. Hold the position for 10 seconds, then slowly relax your back. Next, allow the stomach to fall downwards to the floor and bring your hands together and stretch your back downwards in a swayback position. Hold the position for 10 seconds and repeat this sequence at least three times or more.

Butterfly exercise (Bhadrasana)

To perform this exercise, sit straight with an erect spine and spread the legs straight out. Now flex both the knees and bring them near to the pelvic region; the soles of the feet should be touching each other. To obtain this posture, use your hands to pull the feet as close to your groin area. Next, take a deep breath and press the thighs and knees towards to floor. Keep gently pushing the knees downwards. After this posture is attained, start flapping the bended knees up and down like a butterfly's wings. You will sense a stretch in the inner thighs and the groin area. Take a deep breath and bring the torso up. As you exhale gently, release the posture, straighten the legs, and relax.

Male Fertility Is An Important Factor. Don’t Ignore It!

Generally, we think of infertility as being mostly or exclusively a female problem, but did you know that male and female infertility are equally prevalent? Now, it's time to talk about the men. We recount some surprising secrets about male fertility and male reproductive health.
Dad's health is just as important as mum's for healthy babies. Among couples struggling with infertility, complications specific to the man's health are the sole cause or the contributing cause about 40% of the time, says Dr. Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS).
'The major issues we see in most of the men are related to their reduced sperm count, motility—the capacity for sperm to propel towards the egg – and reducing numbers of normally shaped sperm.'
Problems with sperms might also indicate underlying health concerns like high blood pressure, skin disorders, heart issues, vascular problems, & endocrine (gland) disorders.

There are 'n' numbers of problems that males are resilient to tell & show. Male infertility is one of the major issues which can dig deep into any man's confidence. But, the conditions can be improved & treated. People believe different things about male infertility, which has nothing to do with all such conditions. You might know about different myths, which revolve around male infertility problems, but in this article, we will explain some interesting facts that you might not be aware of till now. These facts have been verified by proficient Ayurvedic doctor Himanshu Dhawan (BAMS), who specializes in male fertility cases.

Men too have a Biological Clock (Effects of Aging).

It means just as women have a specific time in which the chances are high of becoming pregnant, the same is the case with men, too. The rate for men decreases after the age of 40 years & then it becomes difficult for men to become fathers. Even if their partner becomes pregnant, the tendency of miscarriage rises. Thus, there is a particular time under which you should try for parenthood to prevent all such problems.
Having a child after the age of 40 years or while having some kind of infertility issues can even impact your child & result in autism, schizophrenia, & cancer in childhood. Therefore, it is advised to consult your doctor & plan your pregnancy.

Food Choices are Linked to Sperm Count in Men.

The food choices you eat & the number of meals you take in a day also affect your chances of male infertility & sperm count. Individuals who consume processed meat practically every day have lower sperm counts than those who don't. Doctors also recommend avoiding excessive sugar, fats, red meat, & soya from your diet to enhance your sperm count & help in overall health. For reducing the chances of male infertility, you should eat more fruits rich in antioxidants.

Smoking & Drinking can Lessen Fertility in Men – Skip your Happy Hours.

Not only do tobacco smokers incline to have lower sperm counts, but secondhand smokers also can experience the same problem. A report by World Health Organization shows, "if your partner is experiencing in vitro fertilization with your sperm, & you are a smoker, you face 44% reduction in your pregnancy rate." Excessive alcohol use, meanwhile, can lower the testosterone level, making it harder to get an erection, & is linked to liver diseases, also tied to fertility issues. Other substances which can impair male fertility include marijuana, cocaine, & heroin.

Duration of your Sleep can also Affect the Fertility Rate.

In several conditions, the rate of male fertility gets affected by the sleep duration a body gets. This is related to the amount of rest & volume of sperm produced. It is stated that those men who sleep for more than nine hours a day have more reduction in sperm count as compared to the men who sleep for seven hours a day. The ideal duration of sleep defined for young men is around 7 hours to 7.5 hours, which causes a minimal reduction in male sperm count.

In couples trying to conceive, boosting male fertility is as equally important as optimizing female fertility. Even if they may not know it, men need fertility support too. At Dr. Health, we'd focus on the male side of the equation. Maybe you've been trying with your partner for some time, and you'd like to focus on improving your fertility.
And that's quite the good news – your decision to optimize your fertility is actually very helpful in increasing your chances of becoming a Dad. If you are seeking a good place to start, we will help you!

High Blood Sugar and Male Infertility

Research shows that around 1 in 4 men (between the ages of 30-40 years) with type 2 diabetes have low testosterone levels. Low testosterone levels can lead to problems that can reduce fertility, like low sperm count, erectile dysfunction, & decreased sex drive.
India has been acknowledged as the “Diabetes Capital” in the world in a recent report by International Diabetes Federation (IDF). Also, it has been stated that India's 9% population is likely to be diabetic by 2030.
Feeling overwhelmed??
Well, there are two foremost reasons for it – when the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin, or the body cells don’t respond adequately to the insulin produced.
It is vital to keep your blood sugar level in control. But, it is the most significant when you are planning to start your family. Recent reports have shown that - diabetes can cause male infertility. It is advisable to keep your blood sugar level in check before it affects your sex life leading to male infertility (oligospermia).

Can Diabetes Cause Male Infertility (Oligospermia)?
You bet. Diabetes can damage blood vessels & nerves, and increase the risk of infection, especially when not well controlled. As a result, diabetes is associated with an array of sexual problems, including erectile dysfunction, ejaculation problems, decreased sex drive (libido), and inflammation of the foreskin (balanitis).

Diabetes can cause male infertility in three ways –
Causes erectile dysfunction – by affecting the health of small blood vessels & lowering testosterone levels
Lowers the sex drive – by lowering testosterone levels
Reduces ejaculate volume – by affecting small nerves which control ejaculation & by lowering testosterone levels
Indeed, if the patient had all three issues at the same time, along with the lower testosterone level. Fortunately, all these symptoms are fairly easy to correct with herbal medications, diet plans, and lifestyle changes.

When it comes to diabetes & infertility, chances are higher in males. Diabetes directly affects fertility in the human body. The scientific reason behind the same is - the oxidative stress caused due to high glucose level damages the DNA of the sperm.
More studies are required to understand if diabetes affects male fertility in the general population & not just for those who might already have lower fertility. By planning to become a Dad, you have time to change factors that can affect your fertility. The importance of looking after your health before trying for a baby & making positive lifestyle changes, like eating healthily & getting more exercise should be high on the agenda.
Male infertility with diabetes is a possibility; it only needs a good head start and planning. The key to success is to understand & reduce the risks involved, eat right, work on ideal weight, & follow the instructions of your healthcare team.

Ayurvedic Varicocele Treatment

Varicocele is like having vascular veins in scrotum or the testes. Vascular veins is a condition where the blood carrying tubes inside a particular body part swell up and stick tight to the inner skin. It is commonly seen in legs but similar condition can be observed in the scrotum (lies inside the testes). The scrotum is the shielding sac around your testes and is responsible for maintaining its shape.

Having this condition in your scrotum may feel like a bag of worms as the size of your testes gets enlarged. This affects a type of vein termed as pampiniform plexus, which is situated in the spermatic cord. This chord holds vas deferens, the tube that carries sperm, and the testicular artery, which transports blood to the testicles.

It is a common condition as approximately 15 – 20% of men experience this at least once in their lifetime. In most cases, varicocele is painless and might feel negligible to notice but can sometimes cause an aching sensation around your testes. For some severe cases, varicocele can cause fertility issues and might reduce sperm quality in the long run. Varicocele can happen at almost any age but is most common in teens for the hormonal imbalance in blood flow during puberty. Varicocele typically affects only one side of the testicles, and usually, it’s the left side.

Signs/ symptoms of having varicocele

If you have following signs of varicocele, you should be considering availing a medical consultancy or making the best use of ayurvedic and home remedies:

Formation of lump inside the scrotum or the testicle
Swelling in testes
Enlargement of the veins of the scrotum
Testes size getting shrunk
Discomfort in standing for long periods of time

Treating Varicocele by Ayurveda

While the surgical methods pose the possibility of some serious side effects inside the scrotal sac, Ayurveda on the other hand provides similar properties of treatment with no side-effects at all.

Following are some possible side effects of having surgery to treat varicocele:

- Hydrocele – It refers to the condition wherein the accumulation of fluid around the scrotal sac can be observed. It can double up the tissue inflammation.
- Abnormal body vitals – Abnormal health disorders like feeling nausea, high fever, and aching pain in abdominal/ pelvic region.
- Urinals complications – Difficulty in urinating and inability to empty the bladder in one go are common problems post-surgery.

Scrotal swelling and infections – Prolonged infections inside the scrotal sac can be observed if there are some errors in surgical methods opted

Having understood with the life-threatening side-effects of surgical methods opted to treat varicocele; it becomes quite evident to utilize the Ayurveda-backed treatments. Ayurveda promotes naturally driven medications and helps in providing immediate relief from the aching pain in scrotum. The medicated oils and other forms of medications used work with the Vayu Dosh (surrounding elements) in your body. This helps in reducing the symptoms and stopping the varicocele from getting bigger.

Dietary Recommendations

Since the intake of herbal medications plays a major role in treating varicocele; it becomes equally important to have a balanced digestive system. To incorporate the same, the inclusion of easily digestible and nutritious foods is necessary. Whole-grain foods, fish oil, olive oil, fresh fruits, and vegetables are recommended additions. The dietary schedule or the time between the meals should be equal and fixed on a daily basis. This will improve the digestive system and make it easier for herbal medications to reach all fundamental body parts. Lubricants like fast food and excess alcohol should be avoided. Also, excess salty and sourness in foods should be avoided too.

Following can be key takeaways for dietary recommendations:

- Whole grains – The consumption of whole grain foods will lighten the abdomen muscles and prevent constipation.
- Leafy Greens – These are rich source of rare minerals, iron and potassium that will help to enhance muscle strength and overall stamina
- Dairy Products – To ensure increased bone and muscle strength, the consumption of dairy products is immensely important.

Animal proteins – These are quickest source of protein and provide high quality amino acids in least possible calories.

Fresh fruits – Vitamin rich fruits, especially oranges are especially recommended. They promote tissue regeneration.

Conclusion

Varicocele is a common condition that can affect men of different ages and stages in lifestyle. As per several studies conducted, it is reported that approximately 1 out of every 5 men suffer from varicocele at least once in their lifetime. It is caused due to the accumulation of excess blood in veins inside the scrotum. Such a condition is most commonly seen in teenage due to the hormonal imbalance in the puberty phase. Having enlarged testes, irregular scrotum shape, and lower counts of sperm production are some common signs observed in case of varicocele. Ayurveda offers life saving techniques which have zero side effects, unlike the complexities involved in surgeries. The inclusion of purification techniques like Raktamkokshana (bloodletting) and Virechana (Purgation) are a great means of treating varicocele. These techniques help in removing all unnecessary toxins and reduce the symptoms of varicocele. Having balanced and equally timed daily meals will help in forming an active base for digesting herbal medications. Whole grain foods, dairy products, animal protein, leafy greens, and fresh fruits are some recommended add-ons in daily diet.
