Male Factor Problems and Fertility

One of the best kept secrets in the world of infertility is that, believe it or not, "human factor" plays an important role in up to 50% of infertility cases.



Despite the figure, only a small fraction (about 5%) of our patients are officially diagnosed with a form of "male factor" involvement. However, when the sperm of the variables taken into account (eg, sperm count, motility, morphology, etc.) Many people are swept away like only a "borderline case" male factor in participation, and describes the limits does not have an impact. "Borderline case" value for value is still technically a "sub-normal" and the other is really "optimal". The fact is that most of the increase in medical clinics only need one sperm to fertilize an egg with the process of IVF called ICSI (intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection). Thus, with regard to assisted reproductive technology for male infertility part of the equation is a twisted little or no attention

Unfortunately, this ignores the very important facts. For starters, many clinics do not see three important factors: the number of sperm, sperm motility and sperm morphology. However, there are many other aspects of sperm health beyond these three. Appearance is not everything in the world of sperm. For example, newer technology now shows that there may be significant DNA fragmentation (DNA damage) in sperm cells that "look good" and showed "normal" according to the basic parameters ... and DNA fragmentation is a test. There are many other potential factors that contribute to suboptimal sperm that science has not yet identified.

About Fertility

The debate and research below provides information on infertility, based on our best knowledge, understanding and daily practice. That is not a substitute for care from your doctor.
There are many causal factors that can cause infertility. Both of these systems, Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), are the insights and understanding of the causes and pathophysiological mechanisms of human infertility, and therefore, the management approaches are described below.

Requires balanced fertility hormones in reproductive organs structurally sound, healthy and nutritious diet and clean. Even with the above in place, the chances of a healthy couple of conception each month is only 25%. The paradigm of Chinese medicine, "Fertility" is equivalent to an obstruction, the free flow of Qi, blood and body fluids in the body, so that a balanced sound reproduction that produces fluctuations in the body's Yin and Yang . For the reproductive system to function at its peak, there must be a balance between all these components and systems of the body.

A couple is considered infertile if after a year of unprotected sex, which were not designed. Infertility is a growing problem, especially in the United States, where infertility affects about 15% of women with $ 1 billion spent annually on treatment. In approximately 10% of cases, the exact reason is unknown. In other cases, reproductive problems, whether male or female, or both are sterile, representing approximately 18% of the population according to 2005 statistics from the National CDC.

Fertility program at our clinic that uses acupuncture, Chinese medicine, herbal and nutritional therapies to enhance fertility, improve the overall health and support the ability to become pregnant and bear a healthy baby to term . This treatment method is also used for the treatment program before the overall design.
Pre-Conception Care is a necessary and very important when planning a pregnancy. A healthy, balanced, and the right of the menstrual cycle, as well as healthy, and the eggs depends on the health and well-being of a woman wishes to become pregnant.

Pregnancy occurs when conditions allow the correct timing. Achieving these conditions can be a challenge for many couples, so it is very important to consider a holistic approach. Working with natural conception, we focus on the restoration of fertility by restoring the proper functioning of the body as a whole.
There is a tendency for many patients and doctors to focus almost exclusively on the genitals. Our experience suggests that this approach is often inadequate (as evidenced by the fact that many patients seek us because they have failed conventional medical treatment). We will find good results when it comes to overall health and wellbeing of people. When general health is beginning to change, fertility is often restored automatically. Of course, there are many things that must be addressed directly to the genitals: and that definitely require special skills, but we never could get different results that we see in Chinese medicine, if only focused on the reproductive system.

Note that each of its organs plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy indoor environment. If none of these organs can not function optimally, which can affect your ability to get pregnant and health from your baby if you are pregnant. For this reason, our program in a natural conception to Chinese medicine not only in the treatment and optimizing the function of reproduction, it is actually making healthy couples.
