JAKARTA - Infertility or infertility is often imposed on the wife alone. Whereas as many as 35 percent of the causes of disturbances in infiltration are male factors and the rest are factors of disturbances in the maturation of eggs or ovulations.

This was conveyed by Professor of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia as well as founder of Smart IVF Prof. Dr. dr. Budi Wiweko, SpOG, SubspFER, MPH.

"So the cause of 35 percent fertility disturbance is due to male factors. The rest, the most, are due to egg maturation or ovulation. Usually, if a woman is immature, the easiest to see is the irregular menstrual cycle," explained Budi, quoted from ANTARA, Monday, January 30.

Furthermore, the cause of insufficiency in women can also be caused by other problems. For example, blockages in the egg channel, experiencing menstrual pain due to endometrosis, to having disorders in the uterus.

"Next, what causes fertility in women is the blockage of egg channels. We know that women have 2 egg factories and 2 egg channels. In that channel, they will meet sperm and eggs. If there is a blockage, they cannot meet," said Budi.

"The three that are quite common in women who often complain of menstrual pain. This is due to the presence of a brown cyst or endometrosis. The fourth can also be a disturbance in the uterus. In the uterus, there can usually be embryo disorders that cannot be attached if there is a miom or polyp in it," he added.

Different from women who can detect fertility from menstruation, Budi explained that men who experience fertility disorders almost do not feel complaints. Therefore, Budi suggested that men also have their fertility checked.

"This is interesting. If the man has no complaints. There are almost no complaints from men who experience infertility. Unless they have erectile function, it is clear. That's why it is important to check their sperm. It can't be seen the quality with the eyes alone," said Budi.

Nutrition tips For fertility problems, Budi explained that there are a number of foods that are good for consumption. For example, such as animal protein to fruits that contain antioxidants.

"Currently certainly very good, studies report that diet-diet with high protein, animal protein especially. For example, fish, egg whites, milk, is good for fertility problems. Then antioxidants, fruits that are red, orange, yellow, green, are high in antioxidants," explained Budi.

"Then also other micronutrients. For example vitamin D, folic acid, zinc, that's good. Calcium too. Those are very good substances for the quality of eggs, as well as the quality of sperm," he added.

Not only that, Budi also recommended that people adopt a healthy lifestyle. Especially to avoid smoking and alcohol which has a very bad impact on the quality of eggs and sperm.

In fact, some areas of work also need to be careful because it can cause fertility disorders. For example, someone who is often exposed to high temperatures, to people who work in the radiology department.

"What should not be forgotten is lifestyle or lifestyle. Be careful. Smoking is not good for egg cells. Alcohol also damages the quality of egg cells. In sperm too. Especially heavy smokers," said Budi.

"Then the work that was exposed to high temperature. Baker, the baker, the angkot driver sat on the machine. Then exposure with radiation, these radiology workers are careful. Certain medicines too, types of chemotherapy are also not good for eggs and sperm," he concluded.
