Rising temperatures are increasingly recognized as a significant factor impacting reproductive health for both women and men. Dr. Archana Dhawan Bajaj, a gynaecologist and IVF expert at Nurture IVF Clinic, highlights that heat stress can lead to irregular menstrual cycles and delayed periods, as the hormonal system is sensitive to environmental stressors. Dr. Hrishikesh Pai, a Consultant Gynaecologist & IVF Specialist, notes that extreme heat in cities like Delhi has made pregnancy more challenging due to poor egg quality and implantation difficulties, resulting in reduced chances of natural conception and a higher reliance on assisted reproductive techniques like IVF. Furthermore, Dr. Vineet Malhotra, Head of Urology at VNA Hospital, emphasizes that rising temperatures pose a risk to male fertility, as the testicles require a cooler environment for optimal sperm production. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to lower sperm quality and increased infertility in men, particularly in urban settings. This growing concern underscores the need for awareness and action regarding the effects of climate change on reproductive health.
