If you are constantly tired and gaining weight without any reason, be careful; sperm quality may deteriorate.

News Topical, Digital Desk : If you're experiencing chronic fatigue, gaining weight without eating much, or experiencing sperm health issues, don't take them lightly. Doctors say these three problems may not be separate but linked to a common underlying cause, medically known as chronic low-grade inflammation. According to doctors, symptoms like persistent fatigue, weight gain, and declining sperm quality are increasingly being seen in younger patients. These are often treated as separate issues, but the underlying root is a common factor: slowly progressing inflammation. This inflammation doesn't appear immediately as an acute illness, but rather quietly damages the body's systems over years. Doctors explain that persistent inflammation disrupts hormonal balance, increasing cortisol levels and impairing insulin and testosterone function. This results in fat accumulation, slowing metabolism, and increasing abdominal fat. In men, decreased testosterone also contributes to fatigue, mood swings, and fertility, creating a vicious cycle.

The direct impact on sperm health is evident in inflammation, not just weight and energy. Doctors say oxidative stress damages sperm cells, affecting sperm count, motility, and DNA quality. This is why many men with obesity or metabolic syndrome experience fertility issues that go undetected early. Doctors say that habits like sedentary work, lack of sleep, ultra-processed and high-calorie foods, lack of physical activity, smoking, alcohol, and constant stress contribute to this silent inflammation. These risk factors have become common in urban lifestyles, but they are often overlooked.

Taking the right steps can reduce the risk

Doctors say that while this condition may seem dangerous, it is not a permanent problem. Taking timely action can reduce inflammation. Regular exercise, weight control, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and healthy fats, adequate sleep, stress management and treating problems like obesity, insulin resistance or thyroid can improve allergy levels, metabolism and sperm health.
