What Causes Infertility and what infertility treatment is all about?

Both men and women suffer from infertility caused by various reasons.  However, it’s important for both sexes to undergo treatment for this  complicated issue. Various known and unknown factors cause infertility  in women.

These include diseases like endometriosis, diminished ovarian  reserve, ovulation disorders, and low progesterone level. Low sperm  count and low sperm motility, STD, injury or chronic diseases, sperm  blockage and aging are some of the reasons men for, which suffer.

Scheduled drugs and systematic treatment can cure most of the above  mentioned infertility problems except ageing and chronic diseases,  although these treatments are quite expensive and may have harmful side  effects.

Additional infertility treatment may be required to cure the side effects. 

Infertility treatment conducted through IVF or In Vitro Fertilization and ICSI or  Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is best among the other methods of infertility treatment. In this technique, the egg cells outside  the womb are fertilized by the sperm and then transferred inside.

This  treatment is suggested when other techniques fail to give results. This  technique is a hormonally controlled ovulation progression. In this  treatment involves, the ova is removed from the female’s ovaries and  helps the sperm to fertilize in a fluid medium.

But this is not a normal  process at all and involves excavation of the eggs from the ovary,  fertilizing them in an outside laboratory and putting them back in the  uterus. In the normal process, the human decides to pick the healthiest  sperm for reproducing the egg but in the artificial process, the  embryologist takes this decision. However, when he fails to pick the  healthiest sperm and egg, it may cause the ill health of the child  during birth and even later in life.

Alternative infertility treatment techniques

Some alternative techniques with a holistic approach are fast becoming  popular in order to cure the problem of secondary infertility. These  infertility treatment techniques are all the more preferred by people as these have less or no  side effects at all.

The acupuncture method, for example, especially ear acupuncture or  Auricular is very effective in cases where female infertility has been  caused by some kind of malfunction of the ovary.

The hormonal message  that is transferred from brain to ovary is the most beneficial result  received from this technique. In accordance to the investigative trials,  those women who have received acupuncture treatment for about 30 times  within a time period of 3 months have shown good results.

Those female  who underwent hormonal therapy along with it suffered from side effects.  In the alternative treatment techniques, diet and lifestyle changes are  given a lot of importance. Regular intake of such things that contain  caffeine like coffee, chocolate, cocoa, green tea (containing caffeine),  black tea and colored soft drinks which has harmful effects on  conception is discouraged.

According to a study, one and a half cup of  coffee for a woman who is trying for pregnancy is sure to delay her  conception. Thus coffee is a strictly a no-no for patients suffering  from infertility.

Diets that include fish contaminated with PCB or Polychlorinated  Biphenyls are also believed to be a cause for substantial reduction in  the ability to become pregnant. According to one study, women who had  more than one meal containing fish contaminated with PCBs (procured from  Lake Ontario), developed reduced fecundity within a month.

The best result for the treatment of infertility has been reported  through the Chinese medicines, acupuncture and of course, the holistic  approach. The holistic approach reaches to the depth of the problem and  only then delivers physical, spiritual as well as emotional treatment,  rather than only investigating the organs.

On the other side, the  conventional approach to the problem of infertility treatment fails to  successfully detect and remove the real causes and moreover, causes side  effects. The holistic approach suggests a natural remedy and a way of  life that can really solve the problem as soon as the real cause is  determined.
