My pregnancy journey so far (Ongoing 2nd Trimester) has been a mixture of emotions — Fear,Joy, anxiety, anticipation, and growth with some hiccups as I had miscarriage from my 1st pregnancy which was supported by Dr.Seema Jain to be mentally ready post reviewing the scan results.We were bit skeptical about making few decisions about the fertility treatment, However Dr.Seema Ma'am made sure we are well informed and clear about the alternative path to conceive .Later within couple of months I was able to conceive under guidance of Doctor. My appointments have been timely and informative.I appreciate clear communication and guidance during each month of my pregnancy journey so far.Ultrasound and lab test processes were smooth and efficient and reports were discussed and if there were any red flags it was addressed by Dr. Whenever we contacted the medical staff/Assistant Doctor we got the required support in our crucial/Emergency situation.Since its time for Pre natal Yoga,I had enrolled in further assistance which covered Topics like Prenatal yoga, Mental well being,Types of Delivery, Garbhasanskar, labor preparation, breastfeeding, and newborn care were covered well.I feel supported in managing pregnancy-related discomforts (Vomiting, nausea, etc.). as Doctor is available to address the queries.I am being guided well on supplements, and red flags to watch for.I'm thankful for the journey so far and hoping for a safe and smooth delivery.

Choosing Cloudnine Hospital was one of the most important and emotional decisions of our lives—and we are so grateful we did. From the very first consultation, the entire team showed exceptional compassion, professionalism, and expertise.Dr Seema Jain took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process and never made us feel rushed or uninformed. We appreciated their honesty, their evidence-based approach, and their constant encouragement through what can be a very challenging journey.The nursing staff and support team were equally amazing—always available to answer questions, offer reassurance, and celebrate small milestones with us. The clinic was clean, well-organised, and ran efficiently, but still felt personal and warm.Thanks to the care and dedication of the team at Cloudnine Hospital and we couldn’t be more thankful.

We started consulting Dr. Seema Jain for ART treatment in 2024 since we had trouble conceiving. Considering we had crossed 34 years of age and our medical reports, she had suggested to proceed directly for IVF rather than trying other simpler treatments first. We were a bit concerned about directly starting IVF treatments but we decided to follow her advice. It took a few attempts, but we were finally able to successfully conceive in the third attempt. Over all these attempts, Dr. Seema ensured to modify the course of treatment after each attempt to maximize our chance of conception. Looking back now, we are glad we decided to follow her initial advice. Throughout our journey over the past year, Dr. Seema & her team have been readily available to address our concerns and queries. We sincerely recommend Dr. Seema Jain for your journey to parenthood.

Our journey to becoming parents began in 2021, and honestly, for a long time we wanted to believe it would be a straight shot, after each trial. After trying on our own for a bit, we explored options like a laparoscopy and IUI. When those didn't help, in late 2023, IVF became our next big step under Dr. Seema Jain.Our first embryo transfer didn't go well, which was a huge blow. We dusted ourselves off and tried again, and our second transfer actually resulted in a pregnancy, but heartbreakingly, the numbers weren't quite right, meaning another loss. Then, the third transfer also failed, leaving us feeling pretty worn out and wondering if this was even going to happen for us.Through all those tough moments, our fertility team was supportive. They were so good about explaining everything, no matter how many questions we threw at them. Their medical team's knowledge and genuinely caring approach really helped us make sense of all the complicated stuff and get through those incredibly difficult decisions.After those initial struggles, we went through another egg retrieval, and thankfully, we ended up with six healthy embryos. We decided to hit pause for a while, which was probably the best decision we made. That break gave us time to recharge emotionally and mentally. When we felt ready, we went for our very first frozen embryo transfer, and to our absolute disbelief and joy, it worked!This whole experience taught us so much about not giving up! Our strongest takeaway message for any couple fertility treatments is this: stand strong together, believe in your own journey, and remember that with the right guidance, everything is possible. Trusting your instincts, when things are tough, is just as vital as the medical treatments themselves. We're incredibly thankful to Dr. Seema Jain and her entire team who stood by us all the time.

My journey to motherhood was a long one—two years filled with ups and downs, uncertainty, and emotional moments. But throughout this challenging time, Dr. Seema Jain was a constant source of hope and positivity 💫.What truly stood out about her was her unwavering optimism. Even when treatments didn’t work or we faced setbacks, she never gave up on me. She never used negative words or made me feel like I was the problem. Instead, she always said, “We will try again.” That hope she gave me, time and again, is something I will never forget 🌈.Today, I am blessed with a healthy baby boy 👶🏻, conceived naturally—and I truly believe it was possible because of the treatments and guidance I received from her. It was her careful approach, her encouragement, and her belief in me that made this miracle happen 💖.Another remarkable aspect of my experience was the incredible support from the entire office staff. They were always warm, well-organized, and attentive, ensuring that every visit was smooth and stress-free. It’s truly rare to come across a doctor whose dedication is so perfectly matched by a team that shares the same compassion and professionalism 🙌🏼.I am deeply grateful to Dr. Seema Jain—not just for her medical expertise, but for her compassion, patience, and positivitythroughout my entire journey. She is not just a doctor; she is a true blessing for anyone hoping to become a parent 🙏🏼✨.

We had been trying for baby for quite sometime and then we consulted Seema Jain ma’am. Post consultation with her, we got positive result within 6 months. She didn’t enforce any unnecessary treatment or procedure, just with basic medication and few treatment, I got positive result. The consultation process throughout my pregnancy was very smooth, got proper guidance and prescriptions at every step. Her whole team is very professional, and assisted us very nicely. Thanks to her and whole team.

It was the best experience with Dr.Seema Jain.She understands your problem and issues and then opts for the treatment. We are in contact with Dr. Seema Jain since 2021. With her guidance and support we conceived in our first try but had to terminate the pregnancy due to some issues. But she never lost hope and again we gave a fresh start and this time we conceived again and that too blessed with twins. The journey still was a bit difficult for us but still Dr. Seema Jain made sure that everything goes smoothly for us. In the last trimester, Due to high BP doctor advised us to go for a c-section in 36 weeks. Me and my husband were a bit nervous but again she as a super women made everything easy for us and under her guidance we delivered a baby girl and baby boy. Thank you so much Doctor for the support and guidance.

We consulted Dr. Seema Jain when we were planning for a baby. After the +ve pregnancy test there was a minor risk. The doctor handled it with a lot of diligence due to which our twin pregnancy stayed secured. Our pregnancy and delivery experience has been good. Delivery happened at a premature stage but in the right way and the right time. Both my babies are healthy and growing beautifully.We would highly recommend Dr. Seema Jain for a safe and secure journey to parenthood. Indeed the best gynaec in Pune!

Dr. Seema is one of the best gynecologist in city. She is a woman of less words but a lot of positivity and full of energy. Her work speaks for her knowledge and experience.  Best part is she never prescribed unnecessary medicines and treatments until it's really required. Much thanks to Seema M'am for the normal delivery without any complications. I would recommend expecting mothers to be under her guidance and enjoy this experience.

I have been a patient of Dr. Seema since 2020. I randomly had gone to get my ovaries health checked before planning for a baby and to my surprise I found that i wasn't ovulating regularly. Dr Seema patiently explained me the root cause of it with solution. She started with some guidance than jumping onto medicines directly. After some relief from covid chaos I went to her again with negative pregnancy test and that's when she suggested me to start with some low dozed medications. Due to her expertise and faith I kept on moving along with her plan patiently and one day finally saw two pink lines on the test kit. When I showed her that kit she was immensely happy for us. I trust her with treatment and support. She has always been kind to me and kept encouraging me to embrace my pregnancy journey. Another important factor is she pushes for normal delivery...which is great. Not to forget her staff has always been supportive and helpful. Always smiling and greeting you. Few months back we were blessed with a baby boy. I am thankful to Dr. Seema Jain for giving us the chance to become happy parents to our child. Lots of love to you ma'am. 🥰🥰

How long sitting hours influence male fertility

male ravte
Consult Now-

Introduction

Modern workplaces have shifted toward long hours of desk-based tasks, commuting in traffic, and evenings spent in front of screens. This sedentary trend has an unseen cost on reproductive health, particularly for men. Studies increasingly reveal that extended sitting is not just linked to back pain or weight gain but also to reduced fertility potential.

 

As a highly regarded Fertility Specialist at Ravet, Dr. Seema Jain emphasizes that reproductive wellness is more than genetics. Lifestyle behaviors, such as sitting for long durations, can directly impact sperm production and quality. This article explores the science, risks, and solutions men should know about to safeguard their fertility.

Why Male Fertility Depends on Lifestyle Choices

Fertility in men is influenced by the interplay of hormones, sperm characteristics, and overall health. For healthy conception, the sperm must meet standards in terms of count, motility, morphology, and DNA stability. Lifestyle factors, particularly physical inactivity, can disturb this balance.

Prolonged sitting leads to decreased testicular efficiency, hormonal disturbances, and increased oxidative stress. According to Dr. Seema Jain, Fertility Doctor at Ravet, many men overlook lifestyle habits until fertility evaluations show compromised sperm function. Addressing these habits early can make a significant difference.

Sitting and its Direct Connection to Sperm Health

Extended sitting creates a combination of physical and biochemical changes that interfere with male reproductive capability:

  • Thermal Stress: The testes need a cooler environment than the core body temperature. Sitting for hours increases scrotal warmth, reducing spermatogenesis.
  • Circulatory Restriction: The pelvic vessels face compression during sitting, leading to lower oxygen supply to the reproductive organs.
  • Endocrine Disruption: Lack of movement contributes to insulin resistance and reduced testosterone levels.
  • Inflammatory Response: Sedentary time increases oxidative damage, resulting in sperm DNA fragmentation.

For patients consulting Dr. Seema Jain, Fertility Specialist at Ravet, this link often becomes a wake-up call that lifestyle modification is just as vital as medical support.

Research Insights and Data

Scientific literature strongly supports the association between long sitting hours and decreased male fertility. Some highlights are provided below:

Research Source

Observation

Impact on Fertility

Harvard Study, 2012

Men sitting >20 hrs/week showed 24% lower sperm concentration

Reduced count

European Reproductive Health Report, 2018

Scrotal heat rose by 2–3°C in prolonged sitters

Impaired spermatogenesis

Journal of Male Health, 2020

Sedentary men had higher levels of oxidative stress

DNA fragmentation

WHO Review, 2021

Sedentary lifestyle among top infertility contributors

Decline in motility and morphology

This data confirms that lifestyle cannot be separated from reproductive health. Dr. Seema Jain, Fertility Doctor at Ravet, encourages men to recognize these risks early.

 

Conditions That Worsen the Impact of Sitting

The effect of sitting is intensified when combined with certain factors. Based on clinical practice, Dr. Seema Jain, Fertility Specialist at Ravet, highlights these amplifiers:

  • Obesity: Extra weight traps heat in the scrotal region.
  • Clothing Choices: Tight trousers or undergarments worsen the thermal environment.
  • Device Placement: Using laptops directly on the lap adds further heat exposure.
  • Lifestyle Additions: Smoking and alcohol aggravate oxidative damage.
  • Age Factor: Men above 35 face reduced resilience against sedentary lifestyle effects.

 

Daily Practices to Minimize Risks

The good news is that small, consistent interventions can counter the negative effects of sitting. Dr. Seema Jain, Fertility Doctor at Ravet, suggests the following preventive steps:

  1. Take Breaks: Get up every 30 minutes for stretching or a short walk.
  2. Choose Supportive Seating: Use chairs designed for ergonomic posture to relieve pelvic stress.
  3. Alternate Postures: Try sit-stand desks to reduce uninterrupted sitting.
  4. Regular Exercise: At least 150 minutes of moderate activity weekly enhances sperm parameters.
  5. Wear Comfortable Clothing: Opt for breathable fabrics that avoid heat retention.
  6. Device Awareness: Keep laptops on tables, not laps.
  7. Maintain Weight: Target a healthy BMI to balance hormones naturally.

These practices, when combined, significantly improve male reproductive health over several months, aligning with the natural sperm production cycle.

 

Indications That Professional Advice is Needed

Men should consider professional consultation if:

  • Fertility challenges persist for more than one year despite regular attempts.
  • Semen analysis consistently shows low sperm count or motility.
  • Erectile dysfunction or hormonal imbalance symptoms are present.
  • Work environments demand prolonged sitting with no feasible breaks.

In such cases, consulting a trusted Fertility Specialist at Ravet like Dr. Seema Jain is the right step. Her evidence-based diagnostic methods identify the exact cause, guiding tailored treatment strategies.
