Infertility - Renew Hormone Solutions

What is infertility?

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse. It affects an estimated 1 in 8 couples, making it a common but often overlooked health condition. Infertility has many potential causes in both men and women that range from hormonal imbalances to blockages in the reproductive system. Identifying the root cause is crucial for finding the appropriate treatment.

Some key facts about infertility:

• It is not always a "female" problem. Male factor infertility plays a role in around 30% of cases.
• Age affects fertility in both genders. For women, fertility starts declining after 35 and drops rapidly after 40. Men over 40 may experience lower sperm counts.
• Lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol abuse, stress, and obesity can impact fertility. Making healthy changes improves chances of conception.
• In 40% of cases, infertility is tied to problems in the woman such as ovulation disorders, uterine or cervical issues, endometriosis or PCOS.
• 30% of cases are due to male factor infertility like low sperm count, abnormal sperm, or varicoceles.
• In 20% of couples both male and female factors contribute. The remaining 10% are unexplained.
• Hormonal problems are a common contributor in both genders. See an endocrinologist for hormone testing.

So what are the options for treating infertility? The good news is there are many effective solutions available today. Conventional medical treatments include:

• Fertility drugs to stimulate ovulation in women or improve sperm production in men
• Artificial insemination procedures like IUI to intrauterinely place sperm directly near the egg
• Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IVF where eggs are fertilized with sperm in a lab and transferred to the uterus
• Surgery to correct structural issues like blocked fallopian tubes, uterine septums, or varicoceles
• Treating underlying medical conditions such as endometriosis, PCOS, or thyroid disorders

If you suspect infertility, have your doctor evaluate both partners completely. See a reproductive endocrinologist for specialized fertility care. Ask about lifestyle changes and natural supplements that can enhance your fertility at any age.
