Ever wondered if the clothes you wear have an impact on your fertility? The clothes you wear, the styles you choose, even the amount of clothing you wear can all have an impact on your fertility. Bacteria could be a problem with certain fabrics and could trigger benign or even cancerous growths. Some synthetic fabrics encourage the growth of bacteria such as polyester fabrics that allow bacteria to nestle in the fibers. The condition of your body should be closely monitored while you strive to maintain optimum health with a proper diet, regular exercise and suitable clothing. Visit CWC for more information.
Fabrics
Polyester and acrylic clothing are itchy but much warmer than cotton clothing. The synthetic garments act as a barrier for the transfer of heat. There will also be an increase in the growth of bacteria because of the pockets of heat that are trapped by the fibers, which are not as penetrable as the fibers in cotton. The fibers in polyester are also more resistant to fabric dyes than cotton fibers. Natural fibers will permit your skin to more easily breathe such as with the cotton that is used to make T-shirts.
Style
The style of clothing can also encourage or restrict natural biological functions. Tight clothing is confining and can increase blood pressure. These garments can prevent oxygen from interacting with your skin. Clothing that has a loose style will not confine your organs, muscles and blood vessels. There will not be any pressure that could injure an organ or cause blood vessels to swell. Your body will easily continue with normal biological functions if clothing is loose and drapes around your body.
Elastic
Elastic is commonly used in garments and can cause the garments to tightly seal around a body area. A common example is a pair of socks that fit snugly around ankles. There can also be elastic in the cuffs of shirts or in the hem at the bottom of pants. The elastic forms a seal around a section of the body, which restricts the flow of air to the skin. Sweatpants and sweatshirts usually have elastic in the waistbands, cuffs and in the legs of the pants. The garments are very comfortable but may not permit your skin to be exposed to enough air, which is also a problem with leggings.
Clean Clothing
Your clothes should always be clean. You should change your clothes after exercising in a gym, after doing some messy household chores or after a drink- or food-related spill. Sweat, grime or spilled foods can encourage the growth of bacteria. You should always dress in fresh, clean clothing to avoid exposing yourself to health hazards and to keep your clothing from accumulating a buildup of embedded dirt that may not easily wash out in a clothes washer.
Health
Your clothing is a key factor for your fertility because your body should not be restricted by clothing and should not be contaminated with bacteria that could affect your normal biological functions. Digestion, breathing and your reproductive processes should be allowed to continue in the best possible environment. Your fertility should be considered as part of your overall health because women must care for all of their biological processes.
