What is Natural Fertility Support

Difficulty conceiving can be frustrating and isolating for some couples. However, this occurs far more frequently than most people realise. At least one in every six couples in Australia will experience infertility at some point in their lives. Statistics show that 40% are due to male factors, 40% to female factors, 10% are due to factors for both partners, and 10% are due to unexplained causes.

Supportive naturopathic treatments can help couples improve their own health and genetic information so that their future children have the best start in life possible. Personalised treatment plans can also assist in determining the root cause of several reproductive disorders that prevent men and women from conceiving successfully.

What are Reproductive Disorders?

A reproductive system disorder is a broad term for conditions affecting the reproductive system's organs. This includes all congenital or acquired diseases, abnormal glandular function related to sex hormone secretion, infections, and other disorders caused by known or unknown causes.

Among the most common female reproductive disorders are:

• Polycystic ovaries (PCO)
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
• Endometriosis
• Irregular menstrual cycle
• Cervical mucous irregularities
• Absence of menstruation (amenorrhea)
• Absence of ovulation (anovulation)
• Uterine fibroids
• Painful and/or heavy menstruation 
• Chlamydia infection

The most common complications of irregular periods are infertility, anaemia, and difficulty getting pregnant.

On the other hand, poor sperm parameters (morphology, mobility, and quantity), decreased libido, and erectile dysfunction, are examples of male reproductive disorders that can make conception difficult.

Asha Holistic Health's naturopathic treatment approach for female and male reproductive disorders is tailored to the individual case, the root cause and severity of symptoms, and the presence of any complications.

Nadine's treatment plan usually includes herbal medicine, nutritional medicine, which may include dietary supplements if necessary, as well as environmental and lifestyle changes.

What are Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)

These treatments are intended to assist couples who are having difficulty conceiving, often due to medical conditions that interfere with the reproduction process, such as fallopian tube blockages or sperm retrieval via biopsy.

Nadine offers naturopathic support to couples who need IVF or other ART procedures, and she monitors them on a regular basis to ensure that there are no contraindications or negative interactions with medications or herbal remedies.

According to recent research, receiving naturopathic treatment during IVF more than doubles fertility success rates. Moreover, naturopathic treatment can help you increase your energy and vitality, achieve a healthy weight and reduce the negative effects of IVF treatment, such as drug side effects, sleep problems, excessive stress, fatigue and mood swings.

Nothing compares to the joy of having a child and beginning a family. Make an appointment with Nadine to learn how to begin your journey to parenthood naturally, safely and effectively.
