Helping You on Your Fertility Journey
What Causes Infertility?
Important Hormones for Reproductive Health
The greatest focus is initially on the female partner, but it’s equally important to review the male’s reproductive health. Stress, toxins, age and emotional state may all affect male fertility too.
Males are reported as infertile in 8-9% of cases, 15% of Australian couples are infertile and of these couples with fertility issues, a staggering 40% of males contribute to the infertility dilemma. (Source: https://rbej.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12958-015-0032-1)
We look at sperm motility and morphology and how his base health level may be affecting these.
Simple things like smoking or regularly using a laptop on his lap (the heat from the laptop can affect sperm production) can have a significant impact.
As with females, males who are strong, healthy and vibrant have a better chance of helping their partner conceive.
A Healthy Sperm count with good motility and better shape is desirable in any fertility treatment. A combination of therapies including Western Medicine and supportive herbal medicine and Acupuncture appears to be of greatest assistance in achieving this goal.

Your General Health & Your Fertility
Falling pregnant, carrying to term and having a healthy baby takes a LOT of energy. Your body needs to be strong. Good health and vitality means your body is in the best position to do what it is designed to do. And in the case of fertility, that’s to conceive, have a problem-free pregnancy and to have healthy children. We often tell our patients that symptoms are markers of ill-health. If you are in perfect health, you have no symptoms. So generally, the more symptoms you have the greater the challenges you have with your health. If you experience any of tiredness, anxiety, digestive issues like bloating or reflux, stubborn pain, headaches, PMS, period problems, skin issues, allergies, bowel problems, depression or a whole raft of other symptoms, then something is not quite right with your health. This may put your fertility out of whack enough to create challenges. If you improve your base health you give yourself the best chance. Medicinal herbs, targeted supplements, acupuncture, diet and lifestyle advice can help you improve your base health. See evidence of how Chinese Medicine may assist with fertility here.
