Özet
Male infertility is a prevalent issue affecting couples globally, and this study highlights the role of lifestyle factors in addressing it. Lifestyle factors such as obesity, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, caffeine, exercise, and exposure to environmental toxins significantly impact male reproductive health. This study emphasizes that lifestyle modifications can enhance sperm quality and fertility potential. Male infertility is often associated with oxidative stress, where an imbalance in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants can damage sperm DNA and reduce motility. In addition, male infertility is also affected by other factors like toxicant, germ cell changes, histopathological changes, hormone, nutrition, and genetic mechanisms. Therefore, a balanced diet, avoidance of harmful habits, and appropriate exercise can positively impact semen quality and male fertility. Understanding these factors is crucial for addressing male infertility effectively.
