Information on InfertilityDescription Infertility is defined as failure to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse. Causes Most couples have than one factor. Genital or pelvic infections (e.g., pelvic inflammatory disease, Chlamydia, Gonocorrhea) are often associated with an obstruction of reproductive tract. Other disorders include cervical dysplasia, dysmenorrhea, chronic salpingitis, and endometriosis. Endocrine dysfunction (e.g., hypothyroidism, hypogonadism, abnormal puberty, hyperprolactinemia, hypopituitarism) often associated with abnormalities of ovulation or spermatogenesis. Sexual dysfunction (e.g., premature ejaculation) may contribute to the problem Anovulatory cycles are frequently irregular, without premenstrual symptoms nor dysmenorrhea. Some patients may have features (e.g., hirsutism) suggestive of polycystic ovarian syndrome. Endometriosis is often associated with cyclic premenstrual pain and dysmenorrhea. Semen abnormalities can be caused by: Cimetidine, Spironolactone, Furadantin, Sulfasalazine, Marijuana, Chemotherapeutic agents, Cocaine, and Occupational or environmental hazards Infertiltity is associated with SLE, celiac disease. Infertility may also be due to autoimmune disease (anti-sperm antibodies). Current medical research focuses on the therapeutic action of prostaglandins in infertility. Conventional Labs Semen analysis is usually the first test. The post-coital test examines cervical mucus after intercourse during the fertile period for the number of sperm, their movement and direction. Basal body temperature charting assesses ovulation and adequacy of the luteal phase of menstruation. Morning temperature should rise about one degree Fahrenheit at the time of ovulation and remain elevated for 13-14 day. Serum progesterone levels on day 25-27 of a 28 day cycle assesses ovulation and corpus luteum function. A level of 15 or greater correlates with normal corpus luteum function. An endometrial biopsy assesses ovulation, function of the corpus luteum, and normalcy of the endometrium. The following tests are useful to evaluate underlying causes of anovulation or low sperm counts: Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and prolactin (elevations associated with suppressed gonadal function); Testosterone (decreased in primary gonadal failure); Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) (elevated in primary gonadal failure, decreased in hypopituitarism). Specialty Lab Tests Products to consider Natural Therapies Most natural health web sites put a list of herbs, vitamins and nutritional supplements along with citations from scientific studies. Have you found this to be confusing, since there are so many to choose from? A far simpler way is to choose a supplement from the appropriate body system, such as liver support, detoxification, etc. A well formulated supplement works a lot better than separate vitamins and usually costs a lot less. Please call me at (239) 659-2684 if you would like some assistance in choosing an appropriate product. I can't diagnose or treat diseases by phone, but I can assist you in making better choices. I also can send some relevant articles to read. The first ten minutes are free (as long as you purchase from my web site). |
The next step, after you have been diagnosed with a disease, is to find out what is the specific cause, and then choose supplements that address that cause, as well as supplements that alleviate the symptoms of the disease. Finding and addressing the cause of disease is the step that most holistic practitioners (and all health food store clerks) skip -- and it is absolutely essential!
Finding the Cause of Disease with Specialty Alternative Medical Lab Tests
There are many specialty alternative medical lab tests that are designed specifically to find the cause of disease. These tests are not taught in medical school, and they are usually not reimbursed by insurance companies (because conventional lab tests are only used to diagnose disease). As such, most medical doctors don't know anything about them!
Figuring out which specialty lab test you need is what naturopathic medical doctors are taught. My book, Finding the Cause of Disease with Specialty Alternative Medical Lab Tests was written to help naturopathic medical students learn this art. The PDF Ebook is available for $9.99 and includes descriptions of these lab tests and which specific lab tests are recommended for each disease.
If your disease is associated with imbalances in hormones, you might want to review the Salivary Hormone Panels section in my store. The lab test kits are mailed to your home and include an prepaid envelope to mail them back to the lab company for analysis. I have entered a few salivary hormone lab tests in the Store.
There are many more alternative medical lab tests available, and I will be adding them to the store soon. Please chack back regularly!
I recommend that you make an informed choice, and the goal of this web site is to provide you with the information to make a wise choice when it comes to your health and wellness.
As you can see, I don't sell any vitamins on this web site. There are thousands of vitamin stores that will sell you whatever vitamin you want, and many of them offer discounts.
If, for whatever reason, you decide that you aren't interested, I'd like to recommend two other web sites that have high-quality vitamins and information.
Life Extension Foundation and Vitamin Research Products
Also, if you are interested in some high-quality basic nutritional supplements, I recommend visiting the Store You will find my recommendations for a multiple, tasty chewable fiber wafers, high-potency probiotics, and fish oils.
Good luck in your journey towards health and wellness!!
