Ayurvedic Treatment For Infertility

The main symptom of infertility is not being able to get pregnant. There may be no other symptoms. For women, if there are symptoms, they are usually related to the cause of infertility.

Certain factors may interfere with getting pregnant. However, these factors do not guarantee you will be infertile. For women, those factors can include:

• Cancer treatment
• Age (older than 35)
• Painful or irregular periods (menstrual cycle)
• Endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease (diseases of a woman’s reproductive organs)

For men, factors include:

• Infections
• Cancer treatment
• A low sperm count (a higher count increases the chance the sperm and egg will meet)
• Problems with your male reproductive organs (such as undescended testicles, enlarged prostate, and varicoceles, or enlarged veins in the skin that surround a man’s testicles)

Making a baby (getting pregnant) is complex. Multiple things have to go right for both the man and the woman. Therefore, there are many causes of infertility in women and men.

A woman’s fertility can be affected by:

• Delayed puberty or absence of a period (menstruation).
• Medicines, especially those treating cancer, fungus, and ulcers.
• As a woman gets older, it becomes harder to get pregnant.
• Cancer treatments. Radiation and chemotherapy affect fertility.
• Smoking and substance abuse. Smoking, alcohol, and drug use can make it difficult to get pregnant.
• Being overweight or underweight can affect fertility. Even too much or too little exercise can affect a woman’s chances of getting pregnant.
• Uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune diseases (when your body attacks itself), lupus, and celiac disease can make it difficult for a woman to become pregnant
• Early-onset menopause. This would occur before the age of 40. It may be tied to an immune system disease, cancer treatments, or a genetic syndrome.
• This is the process by which the egg leaves the ovary and travels to meet the sperm. Some women don’t ovulate every month, which makes it harder to become pregnant
• Disease and disorders. This might include endometriosis (when uterine tissue grows outside the uterus) or polycystic ovary syndrome (having enlarged ovaries containing fluid-filled sacs).
• Problems with your reproductive system (fallopian tubes, cervix, uterus, ovaries). This might include a blockage, cancerous or noncancerous growths, scarring, enlarged ovaries, or an abnormal opening of the cervix.

A woman’s fertility can be affected by:

• Radiation and X-rays.
• Hormone imbalance.
• Smoking and alcohol or drug use.
• Cancerous or non-cancerous growths
• Autoimmune disorders (when the body attacks itself).
• Exposure to industrial chemicals and heavy metals.
• Certain genetic syndromes, such as Down syndrome.
• Blockages within the many tubes that carry a man’s sperm.
• Certain surgeries, including vasectomy (a procedure to prevent sperm from leaving the testicles).
• This can be a bacterial infection inside the man’s testicles. It can also be a sexually transmitted infection.
• Retrograde ejaculation — a man’s sperm goes into his bladder rather than outside the penis as it is supposed to.

Anyone can develop back pain, even children and teens. These factors might put you at greater risk of developing back pain:

Age: The ability to conceive starts to fall around the age of 32 years.

Alcohol: Any amount of alcohol consumption can affect the chances of conceiving.

Being obese or overweight: This can increase the risk of infertility in women as well as men.

Eating disorders: If an eating disorder leads to serious weight loss, fertility problems may arise.

Mental stress: This may affect female ovulation and male sperm production and can lead to reduced sexual activity.

Smoking: Smoking significantly increases the risk of infertility in both men and women, and it may undermine the effects of fertility treatment.

Exposure to some chemicals: Some pesticides, herbicides, metals, such as lead, and solvents have been linked to fertility problems in both men and women.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): Chlamydia can damage the fallopian tubes in a woman and cause inflammation in a man’s scrotum. Some other STIs may also cause infertility.
