Endometrial Health:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The health of the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) is crucial for the implantation of the embryo.

Sperm Quality: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In men, inflammation can decrease sperm quality by affecting sperm count, motility (the ability to move), and morphology (shape). Inflammation can also damage the DNA in sperm, reducing fertility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Hormonal Imbalances:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Inflammation can disrupt the balance of reproductive hormones in both men and women. In women, it can lead to excess production of <strong>androgens<\/strong> (male hormones), which can interfere with ovulation.
