ayurveda, increased
medho dhatu reduces fertility in men and reduces shukra dhatu (
semen). According to scientists obese men are more likely to have reduced
sperm count than healthy men with healthy weight.

low sperm count and
erectile dysfunction.
Obesity causes variations in harmones level. Studies have shown that
testosteron level decreases as body weight increases. Lowered testosteron causes
erectile dysfunction and low sperm count.
