It's interesting that while I do my research to create my blog, I run across 100 articles that deal with infertility and women, while there may be 1 article about men. I would like to take a moment to do my part to change this!
One in 33 California children are born with a birth defect. While scientists still don't know what causes most effects, it is known that sperm DNA errors are as much a factor as egg DNA errors.
University of California, Berkeley has performed a study that shows a man's diet has a direct link to sperm DNA errors. In the study utilizing new technology to label sperm DNA, men who ate little folate, a B-vitamin abundant in orange juice and green veggies, had more sperm with the wrong number of chromosomes. That could lead to miscarriages and birth defects like Down Syndrome.
Sperm develop over 10 weeks, giving men a defined window before conception to make healthier sperm. Women, on the other hand, are born with a finite number of eggs. This means men's genes, constantly dividing into new sperm, may be even more vulnerable than women's.
If you are thinking about conceiving a child or you are trying to conceive a child, it is recommended that both partners drink plenty of orange juice, eat green veggies and take vitamins. This can only help you achieve a healthier lifestyle and aid you in conception.
Recently there was a study performed at Assof Harofeh Medical Center where Dr. Shevah Friedler studied the effects of laughter on IVF patients.
One hundred women with fertility problems were invited to a medical clown's performance after an IVF Transfer. Another group of 100 women underwent the same IVF, but did not attend the clown's performance. The group that spent time laughing at the clown had a 15% higher pregnancy rate than the group without laughter.
Dr. Friedler said "Laughter is a serious matter. It is known that it triggers a body mechanism that influences the immune system and heart and lung systems, and there is a real connection between laughter and medicine and humor and health."
So I suggest that you rent as many comedies as you can stand while you are on bed rest. Perhaps this will assist you with achieving a pregnancy.
