Introduction of infertility

If a woman has had unprotected sexual intercourse (without any use of contraception) for one or more years and has not become pregnant, this is an alarming condition that may indicate infertility. In this case, the couple should consult a doctor. For the women older than 35 years of age, the observation period is six months, not one or more than one year.

Approximately 8% of currently married women are expected to have infertility in India. Across India, West Bengal shows the highest infertility rate with 13.9% and Meghalaya shows the lowest with 2.5%. It is estimated that 80% of infertile women seek treatment; whereas, 33% of women go for traditional or non-allopathic treatment because of the expensiveness of allopathy treatment, or because they simply lacked the knowledge of infertility treatment of allopathy.

 

Types of female infertility

• Primary infertility: A woman who has not had even one pregnancy, and has been unable to conceive for one year or more.
• Secondary infertility: A woman who has had one or more pregnancies, but now she is not getting pregnant.

A woman will also not become pregnant if her male partner is infertile; therefore, it is important for the doctor to find out who has infertility issues. Is it the male or the female, or the both (in rare cases)?

The following causes may be responsible for infertility in women

• Damaged or blocked fallopian tubes
• Ovulation disorders (defined as the disturbance in the production of the eggs)
• Pelvic adhesions; bands of scar tissues can cause pelvic adhesions.
• Endometriosis; endometrial-like tissues build up outside the uterus, such as in the ovaries or fallopian tubes
• Cervical or uterine abnormalities
• Early menopause
• Autoimmune disorder
• Non-maturity of the eggs
• Uterine fibroids; non-cancerous growths of tissues
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Sexually transmitted diseases
• Stress, disturbed menstruation and other unknown causes

 

Signs and symptoms of infertility

What can be the indication of infertility? If a woman has failed to conceive with unprotected sex for one year, it could be a sign of infertility. Other symptoms could be irregular or painful periods, pelvic inflammatory disease, or constant pelvic pain, but these symptoms do not mean infertility as they could also appear due to some other conditions.

 

How is female infertility diagnosed?

There are different types of tests that can be done to diagnose infertility in women:

• Thyroid function test
• PAP smear
• Endometrial examination
• Pelvic examination
• Hysteroscopy
• Laparoscopy

 

Female infertility ayurvedic treatment (natural treatment of infertility)

Infertility can also be treated by an ayurvedic doctor. If you are looking for an effective, affordable treatment for infertility with little or no side-effects, Ayurveda can help. An infertility ayurvedic doctor will prepare a treatment plan based on your symptoms. There are several benefits of ayurvedic treatment for infertility.

• Affordable. Ayurvedic treatment for infertility has a natural approach and is quite affordable; in various conditions, it is less expensive than allopathic treatment.
• Little or no side-effects. The ayurvedic treatment system is an ancient one that uses herbs instead of various harmful chemicals for treating diseases. Some allopathic medicines can have severe side-effects which can harm the body. But, natural herbs can be used effectively without any side-effects.
• Non-surgical treatment. For example, an allopathy doctor can suggest surgery for a blocked or damaged fallopian tube. Surgical procedures are risky. But Ayurveda has such procedures for infertility that can be performed without surgery. For example, Uttar Basti treatment in which medicated oil is administered into the uterus by using a thin tube. This medicated oil heals the reproductive organs—including the ovaries, the uterus and the fallopian tubes—from the inside.
• Powerful herbs to increase fertility. Ayurvedic fertility herbs—such as chandraprabha vati, shatavari choorna, naari kalyan choorna, narayan choorna, yograj guggulu, etc.—can help you improve your fertility.
• Good for overall health. The aim of Ayurveda is not only the treatment of diseases but also the overall health of a person. It has a lot of knowledge about how to strengthen the body, calm the mind and improve energy levels. It suggests several therapies—such as, abhayanga, virechana, vamana, udarvartana, raktmokshan, etc.—for the health of the body and the mind. It gives tremendous importance to the detoxification of the body, for excessive toxins can cause several illnesses.
• Effective results for infertility. In Aasha Ayurveda Clinic, many patients have successfully treated their infertility. Even, years of old cases of infertility were also cured by using therapies, herbal medicines and dietary changes.
