Infertility - Pregnancy Help
What is it?
Simply put infertility is the inability of couple to get pregnant. Unfortunately, this is becoming ever more common in our North American society and we are finding more and more younger woman are now struggling to get pregnant. Often there are underlying issues which are overlooked. At alpineHEALTH, I strive to identify these issues and treat the effects to improve your likelihood of getting pregnant naturally. As most women are already aware, issues are either physical (ex. uterine fibroids, scarred fallopian tubes), hormonal (ex. thyroid, adrenal, PCOS), immunological (sperm antibody), genetic (ex. methylation defects), life style related (ex. stress) or age related (ex. women in their late 30's, early 40's). I will strive to help balance both body and mind to improve your overall fertility.
Key Points:
- Is becoming more and more common in North America.
- May be a simple cause or multi-factoral (more than one issue)
- Lifestyle and diet play a very important part.
- Is often treatable without drugs or IVF (only blocked fallopian tubes require IVF).
- Common causes include genetic SNPS, hormonal imbalances, fibroids, and immune issues.
How do we treat it?
Most women can conceive and carry a healthy pregnancy without drugs or IVF. Our approach to treatment starts with a thorough examination of the couples current lifestyle and diet, with possible genetic testing or hormone testing. Often changes to lifestyle diet along with medicinal support is all that is needed. Age related issues do take more time, as overall health plays a much more important part for a successful pregnancy for couples in their early forties. Should you want to pursue IVF, our treatment plan is designed to help you be your healthiest. I look forward to the privilege of helping you grow your family.
