FAQ

My partner and I have been trying for a baby for 6 months and have so far been unsuccessful. Should we see a doctor regarding our fertility?

A healthy lifestyle will not only promote better sperm quality, but it will also improve your overall well-being. Firstly, quit smoking. Smoking decreases sperm density and motility, and causes an increase in the number of abnormal sperm. Second, reduce your alcohol intake, as this also has detrimental effects on sperm. Excessive exercise can also reduce sperm quality, but moderate exercise can promote overall health and improve sperm quality. Avoid high temperatures such as hot tubs, saunas etc., and try not to carry your mobile phone in your pocket – you’re frying your sperm! The testes are outside the body to reduce their temperature, so it’s not a good idea to go heating them up.
