It's important to note that if you are experiencing any health concerns, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice. Fungal infections, such as those that can occur in the genital area due to poor hygiene or other factors, are generally localized and may not directly impact sperm health or the immune system as a whole. However, maintaining good personal hygiene is crucial for overall health. Repeated fungal infections may indicate a need to improve hygiene practices, such as changing underwear regularly, keeping the genital area dry, and wearing loose-fitting, breathable clothing. Fungal infections can thrive in warm, moist environments, so it's important to create conditions that discourage their growth. Regards, Dr. Ms. haque.

Hello- studies suggest that fungi can alter sperm functioning within the male reproductive tract or after ejaculation in the female reproductive tract. It can affect sperm motility, increase the risk of dna fragmentation, reduce sperm viability and alter the mitochondrial membrane around the sperm.
