Infertility - A Problem for Both Men and Women

Unfortunately, infertility is a problem for many couples and it is often difficult to establish the rooot of the problem. The root of the lack of fertility may lay with either partner and if there is nothing which is easily identifiable, then the cause could lay hidden for a long time. Typical causes of infertility include endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve, problems with ovulation and an inadequate progesterone level for the ladies with low sperm count and poor sperm motility or mobility, sperm blockage or an STD being often to blame with the men. Any injury or serious illness of either party may also play a part. It is a fact of life that age must also be taken into account.


Accepting that there is a problem with fertility is the first hurdle and one which can cause stress and resentment in even the most stable relationship. Once, however, the truth has been accepted then you can move onto the more positive stage of action. Many of the above listed problems may be overcome by the systematic treatment of drugs. This is a big step to take and one which worries many couples. Side effects of such medication can be unpleasant and these are often counteracted with more drugs. You will find that there is a variety of alternative treatments available which are very effective and completely natural. These are not going to work for everyone but are always worth more than a cursory glance. Anything which is natural is going to be far better better than taking a range of drugs - especially in the case of fertility and pregnancy, which obviously a critical time for all concerned.


For example, a problem with the functioning of the ovaries may be helped by a course of acupuncture or auricular treatment. The messages which are sent around the body which promote the production of hormones can easily be confused and diverted resulting in a hormonal and ovarian malfunction. It would be a shame to treat a problem such as this with drugs when a simple course of holistic treatment would do the trick. It has been recorded in trials that women who have had a three month course of acupuncture, involving around 30 treatments, have responded extremely well. A similar cure using only hormonal therapy would certainly show signs of side effects.


Conventional medicine is now very advanced and it is possible to undergo IVF treatment and have eggs and sperm brought together and fertilised outside of the woman's body. This is not an uncommon practice but is a difficult and risking procedure.


Whether you are following a holistic or conventional route to help you conceive, one very important aspect must be diet. This is a very full subject and not one which can not be covered in such a short space. However, you can visit my new website, where you will find a variety of articles regarding fertility and pregnancy as well as all aspects of life with children!

  2. I worked at a beauty salon where we had two clients that struggled with infertility. They decided to opt for adoption and once their new baby was home and all the stress to conceive was gone they ended up pregnant! I've heard countless stories of this happening. I guess it pays get rid of stress and pressure and just to relax and just have fun.

  3. My wife and I are having some troubles, and it's been very stressful. She blamed me. I'm not concerned with which one of us is having problems, because it truly is both of us. This is a very touching article. Please keep up the posts.

  5. It's a shame that so many suffer from this problem. Infertility is one of the negative things about this world (at least for most people). Luckily we have options these days, such as what Janice mentioned about adoption.

  6. This is very well explained. I would like to add polycystic ovarian syndrome. This problem usually occurs with women who have a menstrual problem like missed periods accompanied with pains (dysmenorrhea).
