Does Being Overweight Affect Fertility?
Hi dr.
We got married 6 months back. i am little afraid coz my husband is overweight around 110 kgs and he is not ready to have a baby right now. Please help me and let me know this overweight will not be a problem later on if we need a baby after a year. Coz i heard many cases who r overweight and it creates problem having baby.

Hello
Welcome here.
I can understand your concerns.
I would like to tell you that being overweight does not affect fertility.
There is no relation between weight and fertility.
Yes, if there is hormonal balance, this can cuase problems.
Just to be sure, i think you should persuade your husband to go for semen analysis, prolactin, testosterone and thyroid levels to rule out hormonal imbalances.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
