Obesity & Infertility | Boost Fertility Through Weight Loss
At Nairobi Bariatric Center in Kenya, we explore the often-overlooked connection between obesity and infertility.
Through our advanced weight loss procedures, we've seen remarkable fertility improvements in our patients.
Studies show that obese women have a 27% lower chance of conceiving than women of normal weight.
Men's Reproductive Health
Obesity in men is associated with lower sperm quality, with research indicating that obese men are three times more likely to suffer from a reduced sperm count.
Women's Reproductive Health
In women, obesity can lead to menstrual irregularities and hormonal imbalances that interfere with ovulation and make it difficult to conceive.
Reduced Libido and Activity in Men
In men, obesity can lead to decreased libido and sexual activity, stemming from hormonal changes and lower self-esteem.
We strive for the highest level of quality and care
Weight loss through interventions like gastric bypass and gastric sleeve has been shown to positively affect fertility. Losing just 5-10% of body weight can significantly enhance the likelihood of conception.
“I struggled from uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, and spent a fortune on medication. Within six months post-gastric bypass, not only did I lose 40kgs, but my blood sugar levels normalized, and I am now in diabetes remission!"
