Female infertility is most often caused in the ovulation cycle. Blocked egg passing, or that there is no egg to pass, result in preventing pregnancy. Hormonal imbalance (with age), endometriosis, bacterial infections, and uterine fibroids are known to cause these. Pregnancy requires that the egg originates, enters the uterus, and then affixes to the uterine wall.

Often the infertility is the result of a woman's choices in lifestyle and the environment she lives in. Bad diet, excessive weight, or underweight, are definite contributors to this as the body requires proper nutrition to maintain and ovulate healthily. Beyond that, nutrition is also required to bring the fetus through the pregnancy until delivery. You should avoid fatty foods while attempting to become pregnant.

Diets that include plenty of vitamin D, calcium, protein, zinc and other generally required vitamins/minerals will give you a better chance of successful fertilization. If you are having troubles, maximizing your healthy diet will probably be required. Even without, it is a good idea. Drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking impact the growth of the uterine lining, and thus can effect ovulation.

They also increase stress which can have an impact on the entire body and causes issues that can prevent fertility. Exercise can be great at other times, but in excess it at this time can affect hormones in ways that can keep you from becoming pregnant. Damage left behind from uterine and pelvic inflammation from certain sexually transmitted diseases can also be an issue.

Infertility in Men is usually related to their absence of their sperm, or low quality within it. Other than genetic factors, many female infertility causes also apply to men. They also need to focus on diet and allowing their organs to produce to optimal levels. Many today are finding herbal alternatives effective towards infertility. These treatments cost less, and have few side effects. They are making ground on medical treatments such as UIU and IVF which are both expensive and carry severe side effects.

The Chinese have been using herbal alternative treatments for millennia with favorable results. They have extracted these herbs from plants, roots, flowers, bark and berries to provide effective treatment for many conditions. Rather than treating the symptoms (infertility), they aim at correcting the issues that cause it. Among these are sperm mobility, hormonal imbalances, and unequal periods.

Female infertility is often treated with Red clover. It improves the uterus through its vitamins while relaxing the nervous system. Raspberry leaves are often mixed with it in a tea adding calcium to assist hormone balance influence too. Lady's mantle has been used to repair uterine lining and ovulation regulation with some success.

False unicorn root has been used to stimulate the ovaries (causing them to ovulate). Regulation of hormones, periods, and ovulation has been attained with stinging nettle (with its concentrated chlorophyll and minerals). All of these can be ingested as a tea for easiest daily consumption. Male infertility is often treated with astralagus which aids increasing both sperm count, and its mobility.

Another common remedy in Chinese Medicine is Panax Ginseng (Chinese Ginseng) which does this and also increases testosterone. While western medicine has looked down on herbal remedies, for many centuries the Chinese have been using them in the treatment of fertility problems. Many modern studies on herbal treatments are showing they are quite effective. While there are many more studies to go, many in the Americas are now using herbal remedies to aid their fertility problems. They are having successes as testing continues to reveal more.

As with any health related issue, you should definitely get professional advice before doing anything that could have a negative impact without proper use. For typical pharmaceutical remedies, you would go to a doctor. With herbal ones you should seek a holistic doctor who is just as informed of alternative medicine with specialization in fertility issues. Their training will have taken as much education and practice as a medical doctor, but specialized in a holistic approach.
