Male fertility

Infertility has many causes but one that has been overlooked for a so long is Vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that exists in variety of forms, although most of these forms are inactive in the body. It is produced in the skin as a consequence to sun exposure and by eating certain foods.

Vitamin D deficiency is a common problem among women. Perhaps, this may be due to the fact that they do not get enough sun exposure due to the risk of skin hyper-pigmentation or skin cancer. Vitamin D deficiency may also be as a result of poor nutrition. In addition, problems in the digestive tract can also cause inadequate absorption of Vitamin D. Lastly, being overweight or obese can also cause Vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D plays a very important role in disease prevention and for maintaining optimal health. Most people have always known that Vitamin D is important for bone formation and for bone health. Well, In addition to bone health, Vitamin D aids in the prevention of various health conditions including heart-related diseases, cancer, and depression, while in recent years, it has been shown to have a positive effect on fertility for both men and women.

The reason Vitamin D is so important for fertility and in getting pregnant is because it is needed to help the body produce sex hormones. These sex hormones are very important for overall wellbeing and for reproductive health. For instance, those who suffer from hormonal imbalances such as those with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) would most likely suffer from infertility due to inadequate Vitamin D levels. Studies have shown that Vitamin D levels are higher in a healthy woman than in patients suffering from PCOS. It is also worth mentioning that Vitamin D supplementation improves the effects of infertility treatment in people with PCOS.

Vitamin D also stimulates Anti Mullerian hormone (AMH) production. AMH is a hormone secreted by cells in developing ovarian follicles and its level in a woman’s blood is generally a good indicator of her ovarian reserve.

According to a study published by the Journal of Epidemiology, people with Vitamin D deficiency also have an increased risk of uterine fibroids.
