Can malnutrition cause male infertility?

Patient's question:

When I was a child, my family's conditions were always not very good. To help me go to university, the whole family had always been saving and eating frugally, so the nutritional conditions were always quite poor. Later, after starting to work and earning money, I still lived a relatively hard life to pay off debts. After getting married, my wife had never been able to get pregnant. A thorough examination revealed that the issue was male infertility on my part.

Doctor's answer:

Poor diet, nutritional deficiencies, and nutritional excess can also affect fertility. Every food has its own unique nutrients, and the vitamins, amino acids, and trace elements in the diet are closely linked to male sperm production function and sperm motility. If a man has a poor diet or lacks meat, it can lead to an imbalance in the body's nutritional endocrine system, resulting in an increase in sperm volume and enhanced sperm motility, ultimately leading to male infertility. For infertile patients, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition, but if left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
