Zinc deficiency impacts sperm health: What every couple should know?
Male fertility plays a crucial role in the journey to parenthood, but nutritional deficiencies especially of zinc quietly undermines sperm health. At the best IVF centre in Ghaziabad – Gunjan IVF World, we believe that understanding how micronutrients like zinc influence male reproductive health is necessary. Through this article, IVF experts of an IVF hospital near me tries to explore the science behind zinc’s role in sperm quality and how comprehensive fertility care, including advanced diagnostics and personalised treatment, can make a difference.
Why Zinc Matters for Sperm Health?
“Zinc is an essential trace element with a direct connection to male reproductive functions. It plays a critical role in spermatogenesis, the process of sperm production, and is also involved in maintaining sperm count, motility (movement), and morphology (shape). Scientific studies have shown that low seminal zinc levels are associated with poorer sperm parameters and can be a risk factor for male infertility,” stated Dr Gunjan Gupta, best IVF specialist in Indirapuram and the Medical Director & Founder of Gunjan IVF World – a leading IVF clinic in Indirapuram. Gunjan IVF World is the third time winner of North India’s best IVF clinic chain by ETHealthWorld and has hour highly advanced IVF centres in Indirapuram, Janakpuri, Noida and Meerut.
“These impacts stem from zinc’s involvement in DNA synthesis, cell division, and antioxidant defence mechanisms. Without adequate zinc, sperm cells are more vulnerable to oxidative stress and damage, which can reduce the likelihood of successful fertilization,” she added further.
Symptoms and Risks of Zinc Deficiency
Zinc deficiency doesn’t always present obvious symptoms, but in the context of male fertility it can manifest as:
- Lower sperm count, motility, and altered morphology
- Reduced testosterone levels, which can affect libido and reproductive function
- Impaired sperm development and function
“Couples experiencing challenges in conceiving should consider nutritional assessments as part of a thorough fertility evaluation. A step that can shed light on underlying factors like micronutrient imbalances,” said Dr. Kanchan Mala, Consultant at Gunjan IVF World – a well-known IVF centre in Indirapuram.
