How to Use Complementary Therapy to Boost Your Fertility

If you want to improve your chances of getting pregnant, it’s important to look after your wellness and wellbeing. As well as all the traditional, mainstream ways, you should look to gain an all-natural boost from the plethora of treatments and tips available under the discipline of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

 

At a recent fertility seminar held in New York City, many natural fertility specialists highlighted the importance that Traditional Chinese Medicine and other mind/body techniques can have on a woman’s chances of having a baby.

 

For example, traditional Chinese Medicine can help to improve blood flow to the reproductive area. It is thought that a stressful lifestyle can remove blood flow away from the reproductive organs, funnelling it instead to the legs and arms as part of the body’s ‘fight or flight’ response to danger. To change this, a course of acupuncture can help to redirect the blood flow back to the reproductive organs. You could also try focused relaxation (such as mentally going to your internal ‘happy place’), or a session of de-stressing yoga, or even a massage.

 

Hormones also play a big role in conception. When your hormones are all out of kilter, it can make it much tougher to conceive. Stress is often the cause of hormonal imbalance too, especially as so many women have high –stress lifestyles. Stress can cause increased production of the hormone prolactin, which may then impede ovulation. As well as cutting down on the stress in your life, there are some herbs that can be useful to fertility. You would also benefit hugely from eating a healthy, balanced diet and taking plenty of exercise. All of this will help to bring your body’s hormones back into balance, hopefully helping you to conceive successfully in the future.

PHL NGO to host 7th Asia-Pacific gab on reproductive health, rights

CENTRAL VISAYAS, January 5 (PIA) – A Philippine based non-government organization will host this year’s 7th Asia Pacific Conference on Reproductive and Sexual health and Rights (APCRSHR) on January 21-24 at the Philippine International Convention Center, Manila.

The lead convenor of the event is the Philippine NGO Council on Population Health and Welfare (PNGOC), a national network of 97 NGOs which is actively involved in promoting reproductive health care.

The recent passage of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law through the staunch support of President Benigno Aquino III has inspired the council to showcase the landmark legislation after the struggle of more than 14 years, organizers said.

The objective of the APCRSHR is to provide a pro-active venue for exchange of experiences among Asia Pacific countries on good practices to achieve the objectives of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo in 1994.

The term and concept of “Reproductive Health” was introduced and operationalized during that Cairo convention. 

The conference moreover, aims to inform delegates on the progress of the Health MDG in Asia Pacific. 

Some 3,000 delegates from various countries in the region representing the CSOs, academe, interfaith groups, youth, donors and program staff are expected to attend.

The registration rate of Php12,000.00 per participant will cover admission to the conference, conference publications, field visit (on a first come, first serve basis), welcome reception, and conference tea breaks and lunches.

The V Steam: A New Treatment for Your Reproductive Parts

You’ve undoubtedly heard of the benefits of having a steam treatment for the sake of your wellness and wellbeing, but have you heard that it can also be a way to boost your sexual health? A new treatment called a V-Steam claims to provide all the same benefits of a steam treatment, but to a woman’s reproductive parts. This is claimed to relax and rejuvenate the area.

 

The V-Steam is being offered to women in various clinics in the states who are suffering from a range of different gynecological issues, such as menstrual cramps, yeast infections and endometriosis. It is supposed to cleanse and tone the vagina and also nourish the vagina, cervix and uterus, according to those who practice the treatment. It’s sort of like a detox for the feminine reproductive parts, in some ways.

 

It is often used in conjunction with Chinese herbs and acupuncture, and has reportedly helped some women to conceive if they are struggling with the problems of infertility, and can be used alongside IVF treatment to improve the chances of it working.

 

The V-Steam promotes blood circulation, including blood circulation to the uterus, which is reputed to be good for implantation. It is also supposed to be great at balancing the pH of the vagina, making it a great anti-microbial treatment which can get rid of infections and inflammation (which, in themselves, can impede fertility).

 

There are concerns about the use of the V-Steam however, with many doctors saying that using the treatment could actually lead to problems with the reproductive system. This is largely because the long-term effects of the treatment have not been tested, and so we cannot know what the effects of such a treatment could be. Patients, however, are all in favour, with many claiming that the V-Steam has been relaxing and effective in helping to improve their sexual health.

What Does Reproductive Health Mean for Men and Women?

You might think that sexual health really has no relevance to your life, especially if you are in a committed long-term relationship, but did you know that reproductive health and wellness actually comes into the sexual health bracket, too? In addition to this, safeguarding your reproductive health can be vital for your wellbeing, as it directly affects not only your reproductive health, but also your health in other areas, your emotional wellbeing, your ability to bear healthy children, and so on.

 

Reproductive health depends on a number of different factors, including general health, lifestyle choices and age. The inner workings of the female reproductive system are elaborate and complex, and this makes it vulnerable to all kinds of different problems, dysfunctions and diseases.

 

Reproductive health can affect a number of different organs, including the vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes and breasts. As well as covering a few different areas in the female body, the topic also covers a variety of issues including fertility and infertility, pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and birth control.

 

Disorders can include problems with menstruation, pregnancy problems including babies with low birth weight, babies being born prematurely and problems with the development of babies whilst within the womb.

 

Non fertility-related problems can include other feminine health issues such as female reproductive cancers such as uterine, cervical or ovarian cancer. Endometriosis is also a debilitating problem that affects female reproductive health. Uterine fibroids also come into this category, and is when non-cancerous tumours form on the wall of the uterus.

 

Women can take simple steps to protect their reproductive health, such as protecting themselves against sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/AIDS and other STDs. This can be achieved by having protected sex at all times, and by being on the lookout for STDs and getting regular checkups, because some have no symptoms and can affect women’s’ fertility.
