Family Health and Fertility
Growing a happy and healthy family is a dream for many, but some face challenges in making this dream a reality. Family Medicine Physician Dr. Vishnudat Seodat emphasizes the importance of comprehensive family care in maintaining overall health and well-being, linking family health directly to fertility and successful family planning.
At New York Health, our primary care physicians provide compassionate, patient-centered care from childhood to adulthood, dedicated to caring for families across generations. Dr. Seodat encourages families to adopt healthy habits such as proper nutrition, adequate sleep, regular exercise, and stress management. "A family that stays healthy avoids stressors to the rest of the family," he says, highlighting how one family member's health impacts the entire household. This proactive focus on wellness goes beyond treating illnesses, creating a supportive and nurturing environment crucial for both current and future family members.
Dr. Seodat also stresses the importance of regular exams and screenings for both physical and mental health concerns. "It's essential to address the mental state before the physical state, as both are interconnected," he explains. Regular check-ups enable early detection of health issues, promoting a balanced environment that benefits overall well-being.
This comprehensive care is particularly important when considering family planning. Ensuring that physical and reproductive health are optimized before conception is crucial. "Make sure you get your check-ups and that sperm production and ovarian function are good," Dr. Seodat advises.
Fertility is closely tied to both physical and emotional health. Dr. Seodat advises discussing family wellness before pregnancy, as parental emotions can significantly impact the child. "Positivity brings positivity, negativity brings negativity," he says, underscoring the importance of a loving and peaceful environment for a healthier pregnancy and positive upbringing.
For patients in need of fertility services, New York Health works with Kofinas Fertility Group to provide comprehensive care and support. This partnership ensures that patients receive the best possible care throughout their fertility journey.
