Overview:

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse. It can affect both men and women and may stem from hormonal imbalances, structural issues, lifestyle factors, or unexplained causes. Homeopathy treats infertility by addressing the root causes, regulating the hormonal system, improving reproductive health, and supporting emotional well-being.

Clinical Presentation:

Infertility may be asymptomatic or accompanied by signs of reproductive or hormonal dysfunction. A detailed clinical history is essential to identify underlying causes in both partners.

Common Symptoms of Infertility:

• Inability to conceive: Despite regular unprotected intercourse
• Irregular menstrual cycles: Or absence of menstruation (amenorrhea)
• Painful periods or pelvic pain: Could indicate endometriosis or other issues
• Hormonal imbalance signs: Acne, hair loss, weight gain, or mood swings
• History of miscarriages: Recurrent pregnancy loss
• Low sperm count or motility: In male infertility cases
• Sexual dysfunction: Erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation in men
• Enlarged veins in scrotum (varicocele): A common male infertility factor
• Hot flashes or early menopause: In women with ovarian insufficiency
• Unexplained infertility: When no clear cause is identified despite investigations

Diagnosis:

Diagnosis requires evaluation of both partners to assess reproductive health, hormone levels, and anatomical structures.

• Hormonal Tests: FSH, LH, prolactin, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone
• Ultrasound: To examine ovaries, uterus, and detect cysts or fibroids
• Semen Analysis: Checks sperm count, motility, and morphology
• Ovulation Tracking: Through basal body temperature or hormonal kits
• HSG (Hysterosalpingogram): To check for blocked fallopian tubes
• Pelvic Exam or Laparoscopy: To rule out endometriosis or adhesions
• Thyroid & Insulin Tests: To detect metabolic or endocrine causes
