Inability To Conceive – Just One Sign Of Infertility

It is generally considered a sign of infertility if a couple have been trying to conceive for over 12 months and have not yet had any luck conceiving. The best option if you haven’t been able to fall pregnant is for you and your partner to seek advice from a primary health care provider that specializes in infertility.

A specialist acupuncturist will look into your medical history and determine any underlying causes of infertility in either you or your partner. If you are infertile or have low fertility, a specialist acupuncturist will help you to understand what treatment options are available and guide you to selecting the one that works for you.

Understanding infertility

Infertility rate in couples at the peak reproductive age is around 10 to 15%. This refers to couples who have been trying for over twelve months and have been unable to conceive within that time frame. Couples who have been trying to conceive for this period could consult a physician to find out more about the possible reasons for infertility. Looking for a sign of infertility if you are trying to determine whether to see a acupuncturist  for infertility is one way of determining if you need help with conception.

Do you have a sign of infertility?

Reduced fertility or infertility could be caused by hormonal, physical or anatomical issues and could affect either the male or the female.

Signs of infertility include:

  • Irregular periods which cause the woman to have trouble conceiving and possible irregular release of the ovum and/or progesterone imbalance.
  • Low body fat which causes irregular periods resulting in the problems above.
  • Endometriosis and Stenosis which cause scarring inside the uterus, fallopian tubes and along the cervix preventing successful release of the egg, foetus implantation and limiting mobility of sperm.
  • Low sperm count or sperm absent in the male
  • Low levels of motility (swimming) in the sperm
  • Testosterone imbalance that can cause low sperm count
  • Small or underdeveloped gonads in the male (this could indicate a low sperm count and low testosterone level)

Seeking medical advice and assistance

There are a number of different causes of reduced fertility and each might have there own sign of infertility. By seeking advice from a specialist infertility acupuncturist, you’ll be able to feel confident that the assistance and treatment you receive will be the best option to improve the likelihood of conception in your particular situation.

If you have a sign of infertility, it is worth understanding the cause of the problem as well as the solution and options for treatment that are available to you.
