Dr. Sharayu Mohite, Infertility Consultant, Jehangir Hospital, says, "For the past decade, male infertility has been increasing, primarily attributed to sedentary lifestyles and physical inactivity. Abdominal obesity triggers elevated androstenedione hormones, sending signals to the pituitary that sufficient estradiol is present. Consequently, the hypothalamus is hindered in its functions, leading to a decrease in LH levels, reflecting in reduced FSH levels. This decline adversely impacts spermatogenesis, resulting in low sperm count or oligospermia. And Jehangir Hospital provides the treatment of oligospermia helping the patients to improve sperm count and overcome fertility issues. Treatment of oligospermic men with high estradiol level Individuals with abdominal obesity and diabetes often experience oligospermia, a condition that can lead to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and subsequently, male infertility. Jehangir Hospital addresses this by analyzing the testosterone estradiol ratio, identifying elevated estradiol levels. Letrozole treatment is then employed to lower these levels, aiding patients in overcoming oligospermia. The specialists at Jehangir Hospital also provide guidance on lifestyle modifications, including weight loss, to mitigate potential complications associated with male infertility.
