About Infertility
Infertility can be defined as the inability to become pregnant after 1 year of unprotected regular sexual intercourse. Some sources report that 1 in every 6 couples may be infertile and 14% of couples have infertility problems. Roughly 6.2 million women in the United States have impaired fertility and the projected number of women with infertility problems is projected to reach 7.7 million by 2025.

Fertility Conditions

Some fertility conditions that are treatable by naturopathic medicine are endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, poor egg quality, early menopause and low ovarian reserve, implantation issues, autoimmune infertility, poor response to fertility medication, thin uterus lining and poor circulation, clotting disorders, hormone imbalances, ovulatory disorders, recurrent miscarriage, male factor infertility, stress and fertility impacts as well as emotional stress and imbalance. As can be seen, there are a plethora of conditions that can contribute to infertility that can become an issue when the body is not functioning at optimal health.
