Help For Infertility
It is important to seek medical attention as quickly as possible. Although you may feel embarrassed and isolated by this problem it is important to remember that the earlier the problem is detected, the better the chances are for successful treatment. In fact, the majority of infertile couples who seek medical help eventually succeed in having children.
Although most gynaecologist in Indonesia would be trained at some level in infertility management couple should address this issue to a subspecialised fertility clinic. Even if you are not keen to see a doctor to begin with you should have a brief conversation with a nurse counselor to understand more about the problem. Before you think about getting pregnant, even when undergoing infertility treatments, there are some basics things you should do for your body. This goes for men and women.
- Take Your Vitamins Taking a daily multi-vitamin is a great insurance policy against missing any vital elements of the nutritional spectrum, namely vitamins and minerals. Though you should obviously be aware that a vitamin is a supplement and best used with a healthy diet. Men and women need to be in the best chemical balance as possible when trying to conceive. Some forms of infertility are treated with vitamin therapy.
- Get Exercise Exercise will help you in a number of ways. It will ensure that your body is healthy and ready for the potential stress of both the infertility treatments and pregnancy.
- Have a Physical Exam Even though you may be seeing a reproductive endocrinologist, dont forget your family doctor. You should still continue to receive care from them at least on a yearly basis. Consider a check up and be sure to have them send any test results to the reproductive endocrinologist as well. This will help you find any other issues you have going on outside of your reproductive system.
- Dont Drink Giving up alcohol may be a no brainer for some, but for others they wonder what the harm. They think they will simply stop during treatments or after a success pregnancy test. This isnt always the best option for various reasons including a decrease in fertility, including erectile dysfunction.
- Give Up Smoking and Other Drugs Smoking is a known carcinogen and known to be detrimental to the health of the reproductive tract. We know that smokers tend to have lower fertility and less healthy pregnancies. But many people dont think about marijuana, which also lowers your fertility rates. So it is best to avoid it all together.
It will also ensure that you are at your optimal weight, since added, unnecessary weight can lead to fertility problems and a lack of fertility.
I think it is also fair to point out that exercise is a great form of stress relief. Infertility treatments or even an infertility work up can be very stressful. By using a regular form of exercise you can help let off some of the stress. Stress can also have a detrimental effect on you fertility or your infertility treatments.
