Male and Female Infertility

Conception is a complicated process when depends upon many factors:

The production of healthy sperm by the man and healthy eggs by the woman.
Unblocked fallopian tubes that allow the sperm to reach the egg.
The sperm’s ability to reach the egg.
The sperm’s ability to fertilize the egg when they meet.
The ability of the fertilized egg (embryo) to become implanted in the woman’s uterus.
A good quality embryo.

For the pregnancy to continue to full term, the embryo must be healthy and the woman’s hormonal environment adequate for its development. When any one of these factors is impaired, infertility results.

A couple is considered infertile, if the woman do not conceive a child after one year of unprotected, well-timed intercourse or she has been unable to carry a pregnancy to a live birth. The diagnosis is sped up for women over 35, treatment is normally recommended after six months of trying to conceive. Infertility is not a “woman’s” problem. It is a medical problem of the male or female reproductive system. In about one third of cases, the cause is traced to the woman, another third of cases traced to the man. The rest are caused by unknown factors or a physiological incompatibility.

Infertility is not only a physical condition, it is an emotional and social condition with accompanying feelings and issues. The infertile couple needs support and consideration from the treatment team, friends, family and each other.

What is the cause of male infertility and female infertility ? Roughly one-third of infertility cases can be attributed to male factors and another one-third to factors that affect women. For the remaining infertile couples, infertility is caused by a combination of problems in both partners (about 13%) or is unexplained (about 10%). The most common causes of male infertility include azoospermia (no sperm cells are produced) and oligospermia (a few sperm cells are produced). Sometimes, sperm cells are malformed or they die before they reach the egg. In rare cases, male infertility is caused by a genetic disease like cystic fibrosis or a chromosomal abnormality.

The most common cause of female infertility is an ovulation disorder. Other causes of female infertility include blocked fallopian tubes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis. Repeated miscarriages may be caused by congenital anomalies (birth defects) involving structure of uterus and uterine fibroids.

Some cause of male infertility

Clinical varicocele (=varicose veins of the testicles)
Infection of the seminal tracts (prostatitis, epididimitis,vescicolitis, urethritis etc)
Testicular hypotrophy without evident causes (reduction in the testicle development)
Testicular retractibility, former or active (the testicles which come back to or up from the abdomen)
Scrotal hypoplasia with a “high” location of the gonads (small testicle placed too close to the abdomen with a consequent augmentation of temperature)
Infraclinical varicocele (small varicose veins of the testicle)
Environmental, professional, iatrogenic (that is drug-related) damage
Former criptorchidism of one or both testicles (undescended testes) (testicles that do not descend in the scrotal sac at the moment of birth, which or is cured too late or not at all)
Acquired obstruction of the seminal pathways [tracts](inflammatory and infectious factors which compromise the perviousness of the seminal pathways impeding the leaking of spermatozoa from the testicles)
Secondary hypogonadism (completed or strained form) (low level of testosterone from end ocrinological causes)
Dysgenic causes (irreversible from the chromosomes)
Chriptorchidism (absence of testicle in the scrotal sac due to being retained in the abdomen)
Immunological factors (presence of antibodies against the spermatozoa often after local infections which take place for a long time without diagnosis)
Environmental Factors
Pesticides which are extremely harmful to sperm production
Current sexual habits bring a considerable increase in minor genital infections (prostatitis, vescicolitis and urethritis) from common germs. This may not bring full-blown venereal disease but if neglected and made chronic, it carries obstructive damage to the female tubes and to the male seminal vescicles. It is necessary to encourage use of condom for this problem as well!
According to some, many hours of driving that we are used to, excess fat in our diet, and the sedentary lifestyle, are responsible for augmentation of chronic, prostate and inflammatory pathologies so frequently present in infertile male and in the absence of certain infection.
Cigarette smoke carries a direct and progressive harm to the motility of the spermatozoa.

Cause statistics for Female infertility

25% of infertility cases due to STD (Sexual Transmited Disease)
15% of infertility due to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

Cause details for Female infertility

The at her half of explained infertility cases are linked to female problems (called female factors), most commonly ovulation disorders. Without ovulation, eggs are not available for fertilization. Problems with ovulation are signaled by irregular menstrual periods or a lack of periods altogether (called amenorrhea). Simple lifestyle factors, including stress, diet or athletic training can affect a woman’s hormonal balance. Much less often, a hormonal imbalance results from a serious medical problem such as a pituitary gland tumor.

Other problems can also lead to female infertility. If the fallopian tubes are blocked at one or both ends, the egg cannot travel through the tubes into the uterus. Such blockage results from pelvic inflammatory disease, surgery for an ectopic pregnancy (when the embryo implants in the fallopian tube rather than in the uterus), or other problems, including endometriosis (the abnormal presence of uterine lining cells in other pelvic organs).

Underlying conditions cause Female infertility

Cervical mucus defects

Role of Noni in case of infertility

If there is any base line cause of any pathological derangement for the infertility, then it should be treated first. But if the infertility is due to some other factors like endocrinological (hormonal) imbalance or environmental factors, then noni may help. Noni acts like a powerful immune modulator hence helps in keeping our endocrine system in a well balanced condition. So may help in case of sterility. In case of low semen production, Noni may help to improve this condition. If the infertility is due to the underline cause of high increase of free radical’s damage, then noni helps to improve this condition as it has high powered anti oxidant properties.

Noni affects so many systems through its ability to promote new cellular growth and to repair damaged cells. Everything in our body is made up of cells. An accumulation of damaged cells could result in a damaged organ or system. There are several ways that Noni helps rebuild the body’s overall cellular growth. To begin, NONI Juice is a powerful antioxidant. Much has been written in recent years about cellular damage resulting from free radicals.

Free radicals occur when chains of important biochemicals in the body are broken with a resultant unpaired electron remaining. This occurs because of oxidization in the body. The “radicals” of these broken chains then move around the body as free radicals, causing damage to other cells. When a cell is hit by a free radical, the cell becomes more permeable and leaky. The mitochondria may actually be compromised, or DNA might be damaged. Many scenarios result in a “sick cell”.

To combat the potential effects of free radicals, the body needs to first prevent oxidization (with an anti oxidant), and next, it needs something to rebuild the already damaged cells. Studies show that NONI can help do both.

In addition to the antioxidant activity in Noni, Dr. Ralph Heinicke, Ph.D., pinpointed constituents in Noni that are responsible for the Juice’s ability to promote cellular growth. These are parts of his postulated xeronine system, which consists of proxeronine, proxeroninease and xeronine.

Why noni works for so many conditions

The natural integrity of noni is only part of the reason for its effectiveness. There are two additional reasons contributing to noni’s effectiveness for a broad range of conditions :

Unique Combinations of Substances

Noni works like a food and acts like a medicine or herb without the side effects.

Synergy of its Substances

It is desirable that the couples continue noni for a longer period just for a trial basis. Till yet it has not been established all the therapeutic effects of noni in all diseases. But you must keep in mind that it is not a medicine for any diseases but a best nutritional supplement which contains all the micronutrients that our cell and body need. The deficiency of those micronutrients is the cause of many diseases.
