What is Thyroid Disease?
Although it is generally considered a female condition, infertility can be the result of either partner’s general wellbeing. Irregular periods, number of miscarriages, low sperm count, hormone levels, sexual dysfunction, and age are all contributing factors that affect one’s ability to conceive.
Despite the current outcome, there are countless safe, natural, and effective infertility treatments which can improve your chances of having a healthy pregnancy.
Symptoms of infertility in women:
- Abnormal periods (heavy bleeding, no periods, abnormal ovulation)
- Unusually short or long cycles
- Hormone imbalance (skin changes, low libido, excess hair growth, excessive weight gain, loss of hair)
Symptoms of infertility in men:
- Changes in hair growth
- Low sperm count (blockage, inflammation)
- Testicular swelling (constraint, pain, lump)
- Sexual dysfunction (erection, retrograde ejaculation)
- Hormone imbalance (low libido)
Infertility Testing Techniques
Apart from all the various causes listed above, there are many precise infertility lab tests available once a complete health evaluation is done, which can help normalize fertilization, stabilize ovulation, and provide insightful education and counseling tools. Even though each case is deeply rooted in the physical, it is important to discuss the emotional impact infertility has on you and your partner. Meanwhile, a high-quality diet, engaging exercise plan, and positive lifestyle changes are all great ways of increasing the likelihood of getting pregnant.

Keep in mind; make sure it is tested for heavy metals (molecularly distilled).
