Today, there are many environmental and hereditary factors that affect pregnancy. Stressful city life, eating unhealthy ready-made foods, smoking and alcohol consumption, vitamin and mineral deficiencies due to malnutrition and sleep disorders, and gynecological or urological problems of expectant parents reduce the chance of pregnancy.
Vitamin D deficiency. Its most important function is to protect the health of bones by facilitating the body's calcium absorption. However, studies show that vitamin D deficiency plays a role in chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, autoimmune diseases and cancer, and is also responsible for all increased causes of death and cancer deaths. Unfortunately, approximately 40% of women of reproductive age have vitamin D deficiency.
The causes and treatment methods of infertility, which has increased in recent years, are addressed in different ways every day and new methods are sought. As a result of research and experiments, it has been shown that vitamin D deficiency can cause infertility, and the necessary scientific studies and tests have been carried out in this direction. Vitamin D not only plays an important role in the production of estrogen hormone in women and the implantation of the embryo in the uterine wall, but also protects the baby from infections by affecting the immune system in the uterus. It has been shown that vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy is effective in the emergence of gestational diabetes and blood pressure problems during pregnancy. Scientific studies investigating vitamin D deficiency have shown that vitamin D is associated with the chance of pregnancy.
It should not be forgotten that vitamin D can be synthesized by the body when exposed to sunlight. However, women in countries located above the 37th latitude cannot synthesize enough vitamin D during certain periods of the year. However, vitamin D supplementation varies in each geography. Vitamin D deficiency in men: It also affects sperm quality, reproductive functions and testosterone levels. Therefore, in order to increase the chance of natural or treatment pregnancy, vitamin D deficiencies of expectant mothers and fathers must be eliminated.
As a result, vitamin D increases the chance of pregnancy. However, evaluating vitamin D deficiency during examinations and providing vitamin D support will be beneficial for bone health, healthy pregnancy and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
