PROBLEM OF INFERTILITY

Infertility is a global problem which has been developing from year to year. With 1 in 6 couples now being diagnosed with infertility, there is no denying that now it's a time to work more to improve the way we explore and manage fertility health. That’s why modern medicine tries its best to investigate new methods and create technics which can assist the couple in their hard struggle to have children in natural way. According to the World Health Organization “Infertility is the inability to conceive a child. A couple may be considered infertile if, after two years of regular sexual intercourse, without contraception, the woman has not become pregnant. Primary infertility is infertility when couple has never had a child. And secondary infertility is failure to conceive following a previous pregnancy. Infertility may be caused by a great number of reasons concerning both man and woman, but there are also cases when there is no obvious underlying cause”. 

Couples which are given an infertility diagnosis have usually gone through extensive fertility testing. What couples may not know is that there are often natural options to help correct many fertility problems. We have hundreds of articles dedicated to aiding couples who have been diagnosed with infertility. We are dedicated to providing information on natural options for healing and restoring healthy fertility.

Primary infertility is defined if couple has not been being able to conceive after trying of unprotected intercourse for a year or more. Secondary infertility is defined if couple has had children previously, but is unable to achieve another pregnancy.

Problems related to human fertility become ‘younger’. That means that the percent of couples under the age of 30 which can’t achieve pregnancy in natural way without medical intervention increases.

So we can see the science has enough wide field to develop its technics and equipment to decline that unfortunate percent.  

What the exact problems may be dedicated as fertile ones we will view them hereafter:

  • Ovulation Disorder

There are a variety of reasons a woman may have no ovulation or irregular ovulation cycles. Hormonal balance is the number one reason women have ovulation disorder.

There are many factors which play a role in regulating the menstrual cycle. When the delicate communication between the pituitary gland, the ovaries and the follicles does not work properly, ovulation does not occur.

 

  • Low Sperm Count

Doctors have found that 20 million sperm per mL or more is a healthy sperm count. Anything less than that is determined low sperm count.

Low sperm count may be due some or a combination of the following reasons such as harmful habits (smoking, drinking alcohol, doing drugs), chronical stress and insomnia, antisperm antibodies, injured reproductive system, genetic predisposition, disease for example cancer.

 

  • Blocked Fallopian Tubes

Fallopian tubes can sometimes become blocked or even damaged due to certain condition that woman may suffer from. In rare case the blockage to the fallopian tubes can be present since birth as the birth defect.  25% of infertility cases are due to blocked fallopian tubes.  

 

  • Endometriosis

It is a condition in which bits of the tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grow in other parts of the body. Like the uterine lining, this tissue builds up and sheds in response to monthly hormonal cycles. However, there is no natural outlet for the blood discarded from these implants. Instead, it falls onto surrounding organs, causing swelling and inflammation.

35-50% of infertility cases in women are due to endometriosis. This is two to three times the rate of infertility in the general population.

 

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

It is a condition in which a woman has an imbalance of female sex hormones. This may lead to changes in the menstrual cycle, cysts in the ovaries, trouble getting pregnant, and other health problems.

This syndrome is attributed to hormonal balance in the female body. The hormone imbalance may cause menstrual cycle irregularities, weight gain, insulin resistance, skin problems, small cysts in the ovaries, and hirsutism (excessive body hair/thinning head hair). Not all women who are diagnosed with PCOS have all of the symptoms or may only have a couple. PCOS is not very well understood and because each woman varies in her symptoms it can be difficult to properly diagnose and treat. PCOS is a very common condition, affecting 4-18% of reproductive age women.

 

  • Poor Egg Health

There are many factors that may impact the health of the ovaries and eggs including environmental factors, hormones in the diet, stress, lifestyle habits and aging.

 

  • Anti-sperm Antibodies

In some people semen can cause an immune response. This can happen in both men and women. Antibodies are triggered during the immune response that work to kill off the sperm. High numbers of sperm antibodies can make it difficult for the sperm to reach the egg, and/or fertilize the egg. Antisperm antibodies also may damage sperm that survive, which increases chances of miscarriage.

A man’s body may create antisperm antibodies when the sperm come into contact with his immune system cells. This happens when the testicles are injured, after surgery (biopsy, vasectomy), or if the prostate gland has an infection. The testicles protect the sperm from immune cells, when they are damaged they may no longer be able to do that. Over 70% of all men who get a vasectomy will develop antisperm antibodies.

Some women’s bodies have an allergic reaction to her partner’s sperm. This stimulates the immune system to create antisperm antibodies that attack her partner’s sperm. This may also cause her vaginal tissues to react to the semen, which may result in rash, sores, or painful sexual intercourse. Doctors are not sure why this happens. Learn more here…

 

  • Combination Infertility and Unexplained Infertility

This is when both partners have been diagnosed with one or more fertility issues. About 20-30% of infertility cases are due to combination infertility.

Of all the cases of infertility, 15% get special status named “unexplained”.

This means the doctors cannot find a reason why pregnancy is not occurring. Both partners have done all the tests and nothing comes back as a definitive cause of infertility. While it may feel good to know you don’t have a specific problem, it can be confusing on what to do next. This is where natural therapies can be very effective. The focus of natural therapies is geared toward bringing the body back into balance. There are the cases when couples having unexplained diagnosis get pregnant in usual way, thus with regardless with terrifying verdict infertile people can find a solution and cope with their issue.
