Yoga is an ancient Indian discipline that involves various physical, mental, and spiritual activities that aim at rejuvenating your mind and soul. Yoga can help in the effective management of a wide spectrum of medical conditions and ailments. It has also been found to increases your sex drive by destressing your body and mind. There are various yoga poses that can prove to be quite helpful in increasing the libido and sperm count, and this is the reason why experts from the leading test tube baby center in Noida also recommend their patients to try yoga for better IVF results. Whether you are planning to conceive naturally or using an assisted reproduction technique, yoga can do wonders for you.
Though males do not have a fixed or limited number
of sperm, they too can suffer from infertility issues. One of the major factors
responsible for infertility in males is low sperm count, which may be due to a
variety of reasons. Luckily, most of these can be taken care of with healthy
lifestyle modifications. Leading fertility treatment experts in Noida
suggest that yoga can impact male fertility in a number of ways by improving
blood circulation, stimulating glands, releasing stress, and enhancing sperm
count.
In this blog, we have talked about 5 yoga poses that
can help to boost sperm count in males:
·
Pranayama
Stress is something that adversely affects one's sex
life and one of the best ways to destress is by doing pranayama, that is,
Anulom Vilom. The technique is very simple and requires you to sit on a mat
cross-legged, with your back straight and eyes shut. Instead of starting right
away, you should try and bring your attention to your breath and make sure that
you are relaxed. Start taking deep breaths. Once you feel comfortable breathing
in and out, what you need to do is cover one of your nostrils with your thumb
and take a deep breath through the other nostril. Then take your ring finger
and cover your other nostril while releasing your thumb. Breathe out slowly and
start over. It is advised to start by doing five rounds of Pranayama every day.
·
Bhujangasana
Bhujangasana, also known as the ‘Cobra Pose’, is one
of the easiest asanas to perform out there. It helps to relax the muscles in
your back and strengthens your spine, which in turn improves your posture and also
boosts fertility. To do this asana you need to lie down flat on your stomach
and place your hands near your shoulders. Now you need to lift yourself up to
your naval region, while slowly breathing in. Make sure that you are looking at
the ceiling while stretching and also make sure to breathe out while coming
back to the normal position. Repeat this for the next two to three minutes.
·
Padmasana
Another asana that can help to elevate sperm count
is Padmasana. It is
also referred to as the ‘Lotus Pose’. In order to perform this asana, you need to sit down with your
knees bent and your foot resting on your other thigh while facing upwards. The other
foot should also be placed similarly, with your hands resting on your knees.
You need to make sure that your spine is erect and take long and gentle breaths
while maintaining this pose.
·
Naukasana
Naukasana, also known as the ‘Boat Pose’, helps to
strengthen the muscles around your hips, legs, and abdomen. In order to perform
this asana, you need to lie down flat on your back and rest your palms on your
thighs. Next, you need to lift your legs and upper-body simultaneously off the
ground while breathing in. Try and hold the pose for as long as you can while
breathing out, and come back to the normal position. It is advised to perform
this asana for around 2 to 3 minutes initially.
·
Setu
Bandha Sarvangasana
Setu Bandha Sarvangasana, also known as the ‘Bridge
Pose’, is best known for stretching your back and relaxing your back muscles,
thereby reducing stress and anxiety levels. By increasing the blood flow in the
pelvic region, it helps to balance the hormone levels and boost fertility, not
only in men but women as well. This is one pose that you can do with your
partner. It requires you to lie down flat on your back with your knees bent and
feet touching the ground. Your palms should be on either side of your body,
facing downwards. As the purpose of doing this is to stretch your back muscles,
what you need to do next is lift yourself up, as much as you can, by putting the
weight on your arms and shoulders while breathing in and coming back to the
normal position while breathing out. One thing to keep in mind while doing this
pose is that you should avoid putting any pressure on your neck and make sure
to take long deep breaths so that you can hold the pose longer.
