Natural Approaches to Infertility

[Jerald Mitchell]

Infertility is a problem that plagues many couples. There are many
options for a couple facing infertility. Some people seek medical help
while others look to a more natural approach. Natural approaches to
infertility involve methods of changing ones lifestyle to promote
fertility.
Infertility is the inability to conceive a baby or carry a baby to
term. It usually requires one year before a couple is said to have
problems with fertility. Causes of infertility can be male or female.
A majority of couples diagnosed with infertility never do find the
underlying cause. Natural approaches to infertility take a look at
suspected causes of infertility that are not directly related to male
or female problems.
There are many things a couple can do to help with infertility. These
approaches are based on studies that have proven certain lifestyle
habits, environmental situations and diet can affect the body's
ability to reproduce. Cigarette smoking has been linked to infertility
and infertile couples are advised to stop smoking and avoid cigarette
smoke all together. Environmental pesticides and metals that an
infertile couple is exposed to have also been linked with infertility.
Alcohol use has been shown to alter hormone levels in the body that
are linked with infertility. Couples are advised to reduce or
eliminate alcohol consumption. Another factor linked with infertility
is body weight. Someone who is underweight or overweight can have
problems with infertility due to the fact that the body's hormones can
be altered due to weight issues. Couples should look at all the
factors in their life and try to live as healthy as possible to
increase their chances of conceiving.
Infertility has many different causes. Studies are on-going as to why
infertility occurs and how to cure it. Until a completely useable,
universal cure is found, most treatments are based upon the couple's
efforts.
