When planning for pregnancy, especially after the age of 30, the quality of a woman’s eggs plays a crucial role in conception, embryo development, and a healthy pregnancy. At Hiremath Hospital, Dr. Bharati Hiremath, a trusted gynecologist and fertility expert, offers science-backed advice and compassionate care to women seeking to optimize their fertility and improve egg quality.
Why Egg Quality Matters
Egg quality directly affects fertilization and embryo viability. Poor egg quality can lead to difficulty in conceiving, increased risk of miscarriage, or unsuccessful IVF outcomes. Fortunately, certain lifestyle changes and medical support can enhance egg health over time.
Top Tips to Improve Egg Quality
1. Maintain a Balanced, Nutrient-Rich Diet
Your eggs need the right fuel. Include antioxidant-rich foods like leafy greens, berries, nuts, avocados, and whole grains. Essential nutrients like folic acid, vitamin E, omega-3s, and CoQ10 are known to support reproductive health.
2. Stay Hydrated
Proper hydration ensures nutrient circulation and hormone transport. Aim for 8–10 glasses of water daily to support overall cellular function.
3. Avoid Smoking, Alcohol, and Excess Caffeine
These substances can increase oxidative stress and damage egg DNA. Dr. Bharati Hiremath strongly recommends eliminating tobacco and limiting alcohol and caffeine intake while trying to conceive.
4. Manage Stress
Chronic stress can interfere with ovulation and hormone balance. Practice mindfulness, yoga, breathing exercises, or meditation to support emotional and reproductive well-being.
5. Exercise in Moderation
Light to moderate physical activity helps regulate hormones and maintain a healthy weight. However, excessive strenuous exercise may negatively affect fertility—balance is key.
6. Get Quality Sleep
Hormone production and egg development are regulated during restful sleep. Prioritize 7–8 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night.
7. Consider Fertility Supplements
Under medical supervision, supplements like CoQ10, DHEA, and myo-inositol may be beneficial. Dr. Hiremath provides personalized supplement plans based on your fertility profile.
8. Monitor Your Fertility Window
Understanding your cycle and ovulation pattern helps time intercourse effectively. Dr. Hiremath can help you track ovulation and advise on optimal timing.
9. Limit Exposure to Environmental Toxins
Reduce use of plastic containers, harsh cleaning agents, and pesticides. These endocrine disruptors may affect egg development.
10. Seek Medical Evaluation Early
If you’ve been trying to conceive without success, don’t delay seeking expert advice. Dr. Bharati Hiremath at Hiremath Hospital offers advanced diagnostics and fertility care tailored to your individual needs.
When to See a Fertility Specialist
If you’re over 35 and have been trying to conceive for more than 6 months—or under 35 with over a year of trying—it’s time to consult a specialist. Dr. Bharati Hiremath provides compassionate care and proven strategies to help improve your fertility naturally or with medical assistance.
