What is Infertility?
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of trying, or after six months if you’re over 35. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, age, structural issues, or underlying health conditions. Both men and women can face infertility challenges, and at NDcare, we work with you to determine the root causes and develop a personalized treatment plan to optimize your fertility.
Common Symptoms of Infertility:
- • Irregular menstrual cycles
- • Hormonal imbalance symptoms (e.g., excessive hair growth, acne, weight gain)
- • Pain during intercourse or menstruation
- • Recurrent miscarriage
- • Low sperm count or poor sperm quality
- • Age-related infertility
At NDcare, we offer personalized care to address these symptoms and help improve fertility outcomes through naturopathic medicine.
How Naturopathy Helps Treat Infertility
Naturopathic medicine takes a comprehensive approach to fertility by balancing hormones, optimizing reproductive health, and improving overall well-being. Our treatment strategies may include:
- • Herbal Medicine: Specific herbs like Vitex, Red Clover, and Maca root may help balance hormones, improve ovulation, and support the reproductive system.
- • Dietary Changes: Nutrition plays a key role in fertility. We recommend anti-inflammatory foods, rich in vitamins and minerals, and work with you to eliminate any foods that may be harming fertility.
- • Acupuncture: Acupuncture is an effective way to improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, regulate hormones, and reduce stress, which can significantly impact fertility.
- • Stress Management: High stress levels can affect hormonal balance and ovulation. We incorporate relaxation techniques, yoga, and mindfulness practices to help reduce stress and support fertility.
- • Supplements: Nutritional support such as folic acid, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants may improve fertility health and support reproductive functions.
Common Causes of Infertility
Infertility can result from a variety of causes. At NDcare, we aim to uncover the root causes of your fertility challenges and create a plan to address them. Some common factors that affect fertility include:
- • Hormonal Imbalances: Imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormones, or insulin can affect ovulation and sperm production.
- • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A common cause of infertility in women, PCOS can interfere with ovulation and hormone regulation.
- • Structural Issues: Conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or blocked fallopian tubes may obstruct the reproductive system and affect fertility.
- • Age-Related Infertility: As women age, egg quality decreases, making conception more difficult.
- • Sperm Issues: Male fertility problems like low sperm count, poor motility, or low semen volume can contribute to infertility.
- • Nutrient Deficiencies: Lack of key nutrients like folic acid, zinc, and vitamin D can affect reproductive health.
Specialized Lab Tests for Infertility
To help uncover the underlying causes of infertility, we may recommend the following lab tests:
- • Hormone Panels: DUTCH testing (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) helps assess levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol, key to understanding your fertility.
- • Thyroid Function Tests: Thyroid imbalances can have a major impact on fertility, so we assess thyroid function with blood tests.
- • Male Fertility Testing: Semen analysis and other tests to assess sperm count, motility, and morphology.
- • Blood Tests for Nutrient Deficiencies: These tests allow us to check for deficiencies in vitamins and minerals that support fertility, such as folate, iron, and vitamin D.
