Five factors beyond sperm count that cause male infertility
Unhealthy lifestyle: Unhealthy lifestyle is another big factor that impacts male infertility. Several factors, such as obesity, diet or nutrition, stress, smoking and alcohol use, affect not just sperm count but also motility, morphology and sperm DNA.Stress and emotional wellbeing: Our societal construct pressures men to curb their emotions, which leads to underlying stress and loneliness. Couple this with the stress and pressure to conceive and it negatively impacts their emotional health. It is essential for men and couples to put emotional wellbeing in focus and regulate stress to ease their fertility journey.Comorbidities: Underlying health issues, such as diabetes and hypertension, can also have a major impact on male fertility. High blood sugar levels can reduce sperm mobility, damage sperm DNA and hamper sperm morphology. Similarly, hypertension can affect blood flow to reproductive organs and even impact hormone regulation.Subscribe to India Today Magazine- EndsMust Watch

Suicide is killing young Indians more than cancer, diabetes, or heart disease
Suicide is killing young Indians more than cancer, diabetes, or heart disease Bansri Shah Jul 3, 2025, 23:32 IST IST One in six deaths among India's young is by suicide — a rate that hasn't budged in two decades. Are we underestimating the scale of this tragedy? A recent study shows that of all the deaths in the age group 15 to 29 in India, one in six is due to suicide. The number, alarmingly high for a country with a very large young population, has remained stubbornly consistent over the past two decades. This figure, drawn from the Sample Registration System (SRS) Cause of Death Report for 2020–2022, offers grim proof that India's youth are in crisis.

Five factors beyond sperm count that cause male infertility
The latest report on global fertility by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) says infertility is a key barrier to reproductive autonomy for almost 13 per cent of Indians. Studies also show that among the approximately 28 million people in the country who face infertility, male-factor infertility accounts for 40-50 per cent of the such a significant proportion, male fertility remains under-discussed and underdiagnosed, with little to no awareness beyond sperm count. This leaves no room to acknowledge the complex causes and possible solutions to the condition. Dr Vaani Mehta, fertility specialist at Birla Fertility and IVF, Chandigarh, lists the lesser-known factors impacting male fertility:advertisementGenetics: Genetic abnormalities are often left out of discussions when talking about infertility even though they can be significant contributors. One such example would be microdeletions in the Y chromosome, particularly in the Azoospermia Factor or AzF gene. If any part of AzF is deleted or mutated, it can disrupt the entire process of spermatogenesis and lead to a severely low sperm count or even complete absence of sperm in semen, resulting in dysfunction: Sexual dysfunction that affects fertility can manifest in many ways, with symptoms such as erectile dysfunction, problems relating to ejaculation and even low libido. In a 2023 study by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, a projected 322 million men around the world were to be impacted by sexual dysfunction in 2025. Despite its impact, male sexual dysfunction is often underdiagnosed or undertreated. Recognising such symptoms early and addressing them through medical, psychological or lifestyle changes can significantly improve chances of natural Unhealthy lifestyle: Unhealthy lifestyle is another big factor that impacts male infertility.

Indians eating more protein than ever, but the real shocker is the spike in fat consumption
A recent report reveals that Indians are consuming more protein, particularly from eggs, meat, and fish. However, fat intake is increasing at an even faster rate, raising concerns about potential long-term health consequences. While cereal consumption as a protein source has decreased, overall dietary habits are shifting towards higher fat consumption in both rural and urban areas. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Egg, meat and fish see biggest jump Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Fat consumption growing sharply A new report by India's statistics office has found that while people across the country are eating more protein than before, their fat intake is rising even faster. The Nutritional Intake report, based on household data from 2022-23 and 2023-24, shows big changes in food habits since urban areas, the average person consumed 63.4 grams of protein per day in 2023-24, up from 58.8 grams in 2009-10, an 8% rise. In rural areas, the increase was smaller, from 59.3 grams to 61.8 grams per states followed this trend, though Rajasthan, Haryana, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh saw a slight drop in protein all protein sources, eggs, meat and fish saw the fastest rise in consumption, especially in urban areas. In contrast, pulses intake dipped in cities and only rose slightly in though people are turning to more protein-rich food, cereals like rice and wheat remain the main source of protein in India. In rural areas, cereals made up 46–47% of total protein intake in 2023-24, while in urban areas it was about 39%.However, the share of cereals in protein intake has dropped, down by 14% in villages and 12% in cities since 2009-10. This decline has been balanced by a rise in the consumption of milk, meat, eggs and other more worrying is the sharp increase in fat intake. In rural India, it jumped from 43.1 grams per person per day in 2009-10 to 60.4 grams in 2023-24.
