Parvaneh Afsharian, an infertility specialist at Royan Institute, stated in an interview about the impact of lifestyle on fertility that changing certain habits can be effective in treating infertility. She explained that factors such as tobacco use can negatively affect fertility.
Impact of Lifestyle on Fertility
Afsharian noted that individuals who do not have infertility issues may still have children despite tobacco use. However, for those who are infertile or at risk of infertility, these factors can exacerbate problems. For example, a person with metabolic syndrome or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) who is overweight faces more challenges in treatment compared to someone without infertility issues.

The Importance of Nutrition and Visiting Specialized Clinics
The infertility specialist emphasized that in such cases, patients are referred to nutrition clinics. Doctors usually recommend that the patient's weight should be reduced to a certain extent before starting treatment, as otherwise, the treatment will be less effective. According to Afsharian, having a healthy body is crucial not only for fertility but also for the overall health of the individual.
She also pointed out the importance of nutrition in the infertility treatment process, stating: "At Royan Institute, we have a nutrition clinic and an obesity clinic that help assess the patients' conditions. These departments assist us in evaluating the patient's status to ensure, among other things, that the patient does not have thyroid issues, as these factors also affect the infertility treatment process."
In conclusion, Parvaneh Afsharian advised visitors that by making lifestyle changes and paying attention to dietary habits, they can increase the chances of successful infertility treatment. She also invited those interested in this topic to follow more discussions on these issues on Hamshahri TV.
