THAT HEAVY MENSTRUATION CAN KILL ANY WOMAN ‘’MENORRHAGIA’’

THAT HEAVY MENSTRUATION CAN KILL ANY WOMAN ‘’MENORRHAGIA’’

In 1994 there is a woman I knew , she is a mother of 2 children, she has being having the problem of heavy menstrual periods for years, like many other women in Nigeria.
This particular month, the menstrual period came and refuse to stop, she bled heavily for days and fainted [she almost died, many other women have died from excessive bleeding], her husband and neighbours had to quickly rush her to the nearest hospital, the doctor did all he could to stop the bleeding and revive the woman, all failed , the last resort was to remove the entire womb [hysterectomy] so as to save the woman’s life.
The entire womb was removed and the woman survived till this day, but she could no more have any other child.

In this article we are going to talk about menorrhagia, what causes it, the diagnosis/tests to check out for it, and treatments.

DEFINITION/COMPLICATIONS

Menorrhagia is an abnormal heavy and prolonged menstrual period at regular intervals.
Only females are affected by menorrhagia
At some time in your reproductive life, you have probably experienced heavy bleeding during your menstrual period [some times with blood clots]. If you are like some women, every period you have causes enough blood loss and cramping that you can not maintain your usual daily activities.
The medical term for periods like these---heavy excessive or prolonged is MENORRHAGIA.
Aside from the social distress of dealing with a prolonged and heavy period, overtime the blood loss may prove to be greater than the body iron reserves or the rate of blood replenishment, leading to ANEMIA.
Symptoms attributable to anemia may include shortness of breath, tiredness, weakness, tingling and numbness in fingers and toes, headaches, depression, becoming cold more easily and poor concentration.


CAUSES

There are several possible cause of menorrhagia , including the following
[1] Hormonal imbalance [particularly estrogen and progesterone], especially seen in adolescents [young girls] who are experiencing their menstrual period for the first time and in womaen approaching menopause.
[2] Pelvic inflammatory disease [PID]
[3] Uterine fibroids
[4] Abnormal pregnancy [like miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy]
[5] Infection, tumours, or polyps in te uterine cavity.
[6] Certain birth control devices [like intrauterine devices or IUCDs]
[7] Bleeding or platelet disorders
[8] High levels of prostaglandins [chemical substances wich help to control muscle contractions of the uterus]
[9] High levels of endothelins [chemical substances which help the blood vessels in the body dilate]
[10] Liver, kidney, thyroid disease or diabetic
[11] Polycystic ovarian syndrome
[12] Fat/obesity
[13] Cancer of the womb, ovaries or cervix
[14] Inherited bleeding disorder



SYMPTOMS

[1] Menstrual flow that soaks through one or more sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours.
[2] The need to use double sanitary protection to control your menstrual flow
[3] The need to change sanitary protection during the night
[4] Menstrual flow that includes large blood clots
[5] Heavy menstrual flow that interferes with your regular life style
[6] Menstrual period, lasting longer than several days
[7] Tiredness, fatigue, or shortness of breath
[8] Severe pelvic pain with heavy menstrual blood flow

DIAGNOSIS/TESTS

[1] Blood tests
[a] PCV to rule out anaemia
Hormonal assay study
[c] Thyroid disorder
[d] Blood clotting abnormalities

[2] Pap Smear Tests
Collection of cells from your cervix for microscopic examination to detect infection, inflammation or changes that may be cancerous or may lead to cancer.

[3] Endometrial Biopsy

[4] Ultrasound Scan
This imaging method uses sound waves to produce images of your uterus, ovaries and pelvis , especially Transvaginal Scan

[5] Sonohysterography [SonoHSG]
This ultrasound scan is done after fluid is injected through a tube into the uterus by way of your vagina and cervix. This allows us to look for problems in the lining of your uterus.

[6] Hysteroscopy

[7] Dilation and Currettage.


TREATMENTS

Specific treatment for menorrhagia is based on a number of factors including

[1] Your overall health and medical history
[2] The cause and severity of the condition
[3] Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures or therapies
[4] The likelihood that your periods will become less heavy before long
[5] Your future childbearing plans
[6] Effects of the condition on your lifestyle
[7] Your opinion or personal preference.

Management of bleeding in pregnancy requires gynaecology referral and potential hospital admission especially if bleeding does not stop or is substantial and surgical intervention is required.
Blood transfusion maybe required for blood loss resulting in compromised hemodynamic stability
Treatment options include pharmaceutical or surgical and radiological options

Definition of Female Infertility

Definition of Female Infertility

Infertility in a couple that relates to factors associated with the woman rather than the man.


Description of Female Infertility

Many women trying to conceive for the first time panic if their periods continue for even three or four months. But the standard definition of infertility is unsuccessful conception after an entire year of unprotected intercourse. At that point, a couple should seek a comprehensive examination that includes menstrual and pregnancy history, semen analysis, ovulation tests, and sometimes a laparoscopy to detect endometriosis or pelvic adhesions. Such testing determines the causes of infertility in 70 to 85 percent of all couples.
Causes and Risk Factors of Female Infertility

===> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM


Many factors may account for infertility: abnormalities of the uterus (such as fibroids); ovarian dysfunction; endometriosis; scar tissue from previous surgery; thyroid problems or other hormonal imbalances; sexually transmitted diseases or other infections in the man or woman; and a low sperm count.

Female reproductive problems account for 40 percent of all infertility cases; male reproductive problems account for another 40 percent; and 20 percent of the time physicians cannot determine precisely what is wrong.

Treatment of Female Infertility

The treatment of infertility has made enormous progress in the last decade as a result of advances in assisted reproductive technology, or ART. This technology combines the use of fertility drugs - hormonal therapy - with artificial insemination using any of a group of techniques: intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT), zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT), or oocyte (egg) donation.

Fertility Drugs: fertility drugs, forms of hormone therapy, are designed to trick the ovaries into producing eggs, sometimes many eggs in a single cycle, by stimulating the woman's hormones to do their assigned jobs more efficiently or by replacing them with "outside" hormones.

Clomiphene, marketed under the brand names of Clomid and Serophene and used for the treatment of infertility problems for more than twenty-five years, is an agent that increases the hormone production. Taken by tablet, clomiphene works by making the pituitary gland produce large quantities of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone).

The FSH in turn stimulates ovulation - in fact, sometimes accomplishing its purpose so well that it results in the release of two or more eggs, giving a woman on clomiphene a 10 percent chance of carrying twins.

Pergonal and Metrodin are powdered forms of FSH and are mixed with sterile water and taken by intramuscular injections.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI): In this procedure, a small amount of concentrated sperm, first "washed" to remove most of the seminal plasma that surrounds it, is placed in the uterus through a thin plastic catheter that is passed through the vagina and cervix. Usually painless, the IUI procedure takes only a few minutes to accomplish.
IUI is almost always used in combination with a fertility drug - clomiphene or Pergonal - to stimulate ovulation followed by an HCG injection to trigger the release of an egg. The timing of the IUI is determined with the help of vaginal ultrasound, previous cycle lengths, BBT temperature graphs, or urinary LH correlation kits.

In Vitro Fertilization: This is designed to make it easier for the sperm and the egg to meet successfully by taking essential reproductive events out of the body and performing them in vitro (in glass). Mature eggs are removed from the ovaries, fertilized with sperm in a laboratory dish, and then the resulting embryo is implanted into the uterus.


IVF, first used to treat women with absent or damaged fallopian tubes, is used today for any kind of infertility. Although here are many IVF programs is use throughout the U.S., each differing in minor ways, all use four basic steps: ovarian stimulation; egg retrieval; fertilization; and embryo transfer.

Ovarian Stimulation using either Pergonal or Metrodin or both: The development of the follicles is closely followed by observing their growth with transvaginal ultrasound and measuring their ability to produce estrogen. When the eggs are big enough, they are ready for egg retrieval.

Egg Retrieval: During IVF, the eggs are removed just before ovulation. A thin needle is passed through the back wall of the vagina up to the ovaries, all accomplished with the guidance of transvaginal ultrasound. As the doctor watches the procedure on the screen of the ultrasound machine, the needle punctures the follicle and, with gentle suction, carefully removes the egg along with the follicular fluid. The eggs are placed in a sterile container and are examined by a cell biologist or embryologist. If they are judged to be normal in shape and development, they are ready for fertilization.

Fertilization: Now the eggs and fresh "washed" sperm are mixed together for fertilization. When fertilization has indeed occurred and the eggs, now called embryos, are beginning to undergo cell division, they are graded and prepared for transfer to the uterus.

Embryo Transfer: One to three days after the eggs are retrieved, up to four healthy embryos are inserted into the uterus with a thin plastic tube that is passed through the cervix.

Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT) is a more sophisticated variation of the basic IVF procedure and usually produces a slightly higher pregnancy rate.
Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer (ZIFT) is the latest variation on the IVF-GIFT technique. The freshly fertilized eggs (zygotes) are placed into the fallopian tubes during a laparoscopy after they have reached the embryo stage.

Questions To Ask Your Doctor About Female Infertility

Is the ovulation process abnormal?
Is there another problem present such as endometriosis?
What are treatment options?
What are the benefits and risks of fertility drugs?
Do you recommend IVF?
What type of IVF would be most beneficial?

How to increase your chances of conceiving and preventing miscarriages

How to increase your chances of conceiving and preventing miscarriages

Fertility



Over the past twenty years, fertility problems have increased dramatically. At least 25 percent of couples planning a baby will have trouble conceiving, and more and more couples are turning to fertility treatments to help them have a family.


===> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM

What is the cause? From a medical point of view, infertility is believed to be caused by the following factors, and in these proportions.



Problem Percentage of cases:



Ovulatory failure (including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) 20

Tubal damage 15

Endometriosis 5

Male problems 26

Unexplained 30

If the mathematics don't add up, it's because many couples experience more than one problem when trying to conceive: for example, you may suffer from endometriosis, but your partner may also have a low sperm count.



Interestingly, the most common cause of infertility is 'unexplained', which means that following thorough investigations, doctors can find no specific or identifiable medical problem at the root. But this is where a natural approach can come into play. If a couple fails to become pregnant, there is obviously something causing the problem. It's no good labelling infertility 'unexplained'. The answer is to look deeper - at lifestyle factors, nutritional deficiencies and even emotional elements.



===> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM


What are your choices?



The natural approach to fertility is and has been enormously successful, largely because fertility is multi-factorial, meaning that there are many, many elements that can be at the root of your fertility problems. A study conducted by the University of Surrey showed that couples with a previous history of infertility who made changes in their lifestyle, diet and took nutritional supplements had an 80 percent success rate Given that the success rate for assisted conception is around 20 percent, it's worth considering these options.



Natural treatment plans are, by their nature, extensive and really do need to be adjusted to suit your individual needs. I will, however, go through the most important points below. Remember that it takes at least three months for immature eggs (oocytes) to mature enough to be released during ovulation. It also takes at least three months for sperm cells to develop, ready to be ejaculated. This means that when you are trying to improve your fertility, you need to have a four-month period before conceiving. This is called 'pre-conception care' and it's as important to take as much care during this period as it is during a pregnancy itself.



If you are going for IVF treatment or another assisted conception procedure, you should follow the recommendations listed below in order to increase the chances that the procedure will work.



One test which is particularly useful for infertility is the Female Hormone Test (saliva).



Female Hormone Test (saliva)


===> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM


A total of eleven saliva samples are collected at home at specific times across one cycle, and sent to the lab for analysis. This simple test will chart the level of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone across the month, to work out a pattern that may reveal:



early ovulation

anovulation (no ovulation)

problems with the phasing of the cycles, such as a short luteal phase (second half of the cycle)

problems with maintaining progesterone levels

This test can be done even if you have irregular cycles.



Diet



Both you and your partner should follow the dietary recommendations explained in the Nutrition Section (The Foundation of Health) Although it goes without saying that a healthy diet is crucial to a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby, many people are unaware of the fact that diet can help to correct hormone imbalances that may affect your ability to conceive. There are also certain foods and drinks that are known to lower fertility.





Alcohol



Alcohol will affect both you and your partner. In fact, drinking any alcohol at all can reduce your fertility by half - and the more you drink, the less likely you are to conceive. One study showed that women who drank less than 5 units of alcohol a week (equal to five glasses of wine) were twice as likely to get pregnant within six-months compared with those who drank more.



Research has also shown that drinking alcohol causes a decrease in sperm count, an increase in abnormal sperm and a lower proportion of motile sperm. Alcohol also inhibits the body's absorption of nutrients such as zinc, which is one of the most important minerals for male fertility.



As difficult as it may seem, you should eliminate alcohol from your diets for at least three months in order to give yourself the best possible chance of conceiving.





Caffeine



There is plenty of evidence to show that caffeine, particularly in the form of coffee, decreases fertility. Drinking as little as one cup of coffee a day can halve your chances of conceiving. On study showed that problems with sperm: sperm count, motility and abnormalities, increase with the number of cups of coffee consumed each day. Once again, it's important to eliminate all caffeine-containing food and drinks for at least three months before trying to conceive. That includes colas, chocolate, black teas and coffee, among other things.





Xenoestrogens



Xenoestrogens are essentially environmental oestrogens, coming from pesticides and the plastic industry. When you are trying to conceive, one of the most important things you need to do is to balance your hormones. It is extremely important to avoid anything that might cause an imbalance, and one of the main culprits is the xenoestrogens. One of the best ways to eliminate an excess intake of xenoestrogens is to buy organic produce for the pre-conceptual period.





Smoking



Smoking has definitely been linked with infertility in women. It can even bring on an early menopause, which is a particularly important consideration for older women who may be trying to beat the clock. Smoking can decrease sperm count in men, making the sperm more sluggish, and it can increase the number of abnormal sperm. With men, the effects on fertility are increased with the number of cigarettes.







Supplements



There is now a great deal of scientific knowledge about the use of nutritional supplements and their beneficial effects on both male and female fertility. As you will see, these supplements can be very effective in re-balancing your hormones, as well as improving you and your partner's overall health, which are so vital for successful conception.



Supplements are necessary because even the best diet in the world will not contain all the nutrients you need to give you the best chance of conceiving.





Folic Acid



It is now known that folic acid can prevent spina bifida in your baby, and it is essential that you get plenty both before and during pregnancy. And that's not all: folic acid is undoubtedly important, but it is just part of the very important B-complex family of vitamins that are necessary to produce the genetic materials DNA and RNA. Together with vitamin B12, folic acid works to ensure that your baby's genetic codes are intact. Remember: it's not enough to take folic acid alone when you are trying to become pregnant. All of the B vitamins are essential during the pre-conceptual period. Research has shown that giving B6 to women who have trouble conceiving increases fertility and vitamin B12 has been found to improve low sperm counts





Zinc



Zinc is the most widely studied nutrient in terms of fertility for both men and women. It is an essential component of genetic material and a zinc deficiency can cause chromosome changes in either you or our partner, leading to reduced fertility and an increased risk of miscarriage. Zinc is necessary for your body to 'attract and hold' (utilise efficiently) the reproductive hormones, oestrogen and progesterone.



And it's equally important for your partner: zinc is found in high concentrations in the sperm. Zinc is needed to make the outer layer and tail of the sperm and is, therefore, essential for the health of your partner's sperm and, subsequently, your baby. Interestingly, several studies have also shown that reducing zinc in a man's diet will also reduce his sperm count.





Selenium



Selenium is an antioxidant that helps to protect your body from highly reactive chemical fragments called free radicals. For this reason, selenium can prevent chromosome breakage, which is known to be a cause of birth defects and miscarriages. Good levels of selenium are also essential to maximise sperm formation. Blood selenium levels have been found to be lower in men with low sperm counts.





Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)



These essential fats have a profound effect on every system of the body, including the reproductive system and they are crucial for healthy hormone functioning. For men essential fatty acid supplementation is crucial because the semen is rich in prostaglandins which are produced from these fats. Men with poor sperm quality, abnormal sperm, poor motility or low count, have inadequate levels of these beneficial prostaglandins.







Vitamin E





Vitamin E is another powerful antioxidant and has been shown to increase fertility when given to both men and women. Men going for IVF treatment with their partners have been given vitamin E, and fertilisation rates have, as a result, increased from 19 to 29 percent. It has been suggested that the antioxidant activity of vitamin E might make the sperm more fertile.





Vitamin C



Vitamin C is also an antioxidant, and studies show that vitamin C enhances sperm quality, protecting sperm and the DNA within it from damage. Some research has indicated that certain types of DNA damage in the sperm can make it difficult to conceive in the first place, or it can cause an increased risk of miscarriage if conception does take place. If DNA is damaged, there may be a chromosomal problem in the baby, should the pregnancy proceed. Whether or not DNA damage does have these effects has not been conclusively proven, but it's worth taking vitamin C and the other antioxidants as a precautionary measure.



Vitamin C also appears to keep the sperm from clumping together, making them more motile.



One study has shown that women taking the drug clomiphene to stimulate ovulation will have a better chance of ovulating if vitamin C is taken alongside the drug. Clomiphene does not always work in every woman, but the chances are often increased when vitamin C is supplemented.





L-Arginine



This is an amino acid found in many foods and the head of the sperm contains an exceptional amount of this nutrient, which is essential for sperm production. Supplementing with L-arginine can help to increase both the sperm count and quality.



Note: People who have herpes attacks (either cold sores or genital herpes) should not supplement with arginine because it stimulates the virus.





L-Carnitine



This amino acid is essential for normal functioning of sperm cells. According to research, it appears that the higher the levels of L-Carnitine in the sperm cells, the better the sperm count and motility.





Vitamin A



This vitamin needs to be mentioned because there is a lot of confusion about its use before and after pregnancy. Many health practitioners now advise that no vitamin A is taken during pregnancy. This advice is incorrect, and it can be dangerous to assume that any vitamin or other nutrient should be avoided during the gestational period. Vitamin A has important antioxidant properties, and the consequences of Vitamin A deficiency during pregnancy can be devastating. For one thing, vitamin A is essential for healthy eyes. Animals studies show that vitamin A deficiency during pregnancy has produced new-born animals with no eyes, eye defects, undescended testes and diaphragmatic hernias.



It is only when the vitamin A is in the form of retinol (in other words, the animal form of vitamin A) that there is a problem. It has been found that retinol can cause birth defects if taken in excess of 10,000iu a day. Beta-carotene, which is one of the vegetable forms of vitamin A, does not carry any risks.

Herbs





Herbal treatment is aimed at restoring hormone imbalances, and encouraging ovulation if it is not occurring. It will also give you the best possible chance of maintaining a pregnancy, should you conceive.



Agnus Castus (Vitex or Chaste tree berry)



This is the herb of choice for helping to restore hormone imbalance and increasing fertility. In one study 48 women diagnosed with infertility took agnus castus daily for three months, 7 of them became pregnant during that time and 25 of them regained normal progesterone levels.



Agnus castus is particularly helpful for those women who have a luteal phase defect (shortened second half to the cycle) or those with high prolactin levels, because it stimulates the proper functioning of the pituitary gland which controls the hormones.



Agnus castus works to restore hormonal balance and can be used where there are hormone deficits as well as excesses it:



Regulates periods

Restarts periods which have stopped

Helps with heavy bleeding

Increases the ratio of progesterone to oestrogen by balancing excess oestrogen.

Note:

Don't take any herbs while you are using drug treatments or going through assisted conception (such as IVF), unless prescribed by a qualified practitioner.



Caution



You should not take any of the above herbs if you are taking, The Pill, Fertillity drugs, HRT or any other hormonal treatment or other medication unless they are recommended by a registered, experienced practitioner.



I suggest that you follow this four-month plan and do not try to conceive within that time. Why? Because when you follow the plan, your fertility will begin to increase. Everything needs to be working at optimum level before you conceive, both to prevent a miscarriage, and to give you the best possible chance of having a healthy baby.







Case history

Susan and her partner were 30 and 31 respectively, and they'd been trying to have a baby for four years before coming to see me. They had been diagnosed with 'unexplained fertility' and had had four unsuccessful attempts at IUI. Susan had many problems with her periods: she had a regular cycle, but bled heavily with spotting and headaches before her period. At ovulation, her abdomen swelled up and she felt nauseous.



I asked them to arrange screening for infections and the tests came back positive to one infection, which was easily cleared up by antibiotics. Susan was deficient in a number of nutrients, including zinc, selenium, calcium and magnesium, and her partner had low zinc and high aluminium levels. I therefore recommended that he cut out tinned soft drinks (see page 00) and switch to an aluminium-free deodorant. Because I was concerned that the imbalance causing the problems with Susan's cycle could also be a factor in her inability to conceive, I also used a combination of balancing herbs, such as agnus castus, to alleviate Susan's spotting and heavy bleeding. Susan and her partner followed the four-month programme (outlined on page 00) and waited until their mineral levels were back to normal. Nine months from their first appointment day, they conceived, and, not surprisingly, had a baby another nine months later.



If you have been trying to conceive for six months



If you are under the age of 35 and have been trying unsuccessfully to conceive for six months, follow the dietary and supplement suggestions given below for four months. At the end of this period, begin trying to conceive again. Give yourself six months before embarking on any fertility treatments or investigation by your doctor or a gynaecologist.



If you have been trying for six months and are over 35, follow the recommendations but visit your doctor and ask for tests to begin during that first four-month period. If you are given a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, then try for six months on your own before going for medical treatment.



If you have been trying to conceive for 12 months or more



If you are under the age of 35, follow the suggestions below for four months. Then try on your own for six months before embarking on fertility tests.



If you have been trying for six months and are over 35, follow the recommendations but visit your doctor and ask for tests to begin during that first four-month period. If you are given a diagnosis of unexplained infertility, then try for six months on your own before going for medical treatment.







Tests



There are a number of tests available that are extremely useful and are well worth considering. These tests can give you invaluable insights into understanding what is going on in your body at the moment and can tell you what vitamin and mineral deficiencies and heavy toxic metal excesses you may have. They can let you know what your general condition is and how well your digestive system is functioning and then explain what action you need to take to rectify any imbalances the results may reveal. The analysis of these results lets you know what supplements you need to take in order to bring your body back into balance and into optimum health. This is also designed to help prevent these problems from recurring in the future.

Mineral Analysis Test with Supplement and Nutritional Assessment Programme

This test measures the deficiency and excess levels of 7 different minerals and 5 heavy toxic metals that may be present in your body.

Female Hormone Test

Several samples are collected over one cycle. When analysed, the levels of your oestrogen and progesterone hormones are mapped for that month to determine whether they are in balance or not.

After three months you would then have a re-test in order to monitor your progress and adjust your supplement programme according to your new condition.

Blocked fallopian tubes, major cause of infertility in women – Expert

Blocked fallopian tubes, major cause of infertility in women – Expert

Dr Kola Kayode, a gynaecologist with a private hospital in Abuja, says that blockage of fallopian tubes is the major cause of infertility in women.

He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in an interview on Saturday in Abuja that blockage of fallopian tubes occurred when there was an obstruction that prevented egg from travelling down the tube.

He said that fallopian tubes could be blocked either on one or both sides of tubes, known as tubal infertility, insisting that it was one of the causes of infertility in 40 per cent of women.

According to him, blocked fallopian tubes increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy — a pregnancy that occurs outside the uterine cavity and usually in the fallopian tube.

“Pelvic inflammatory disease is one of the major causes of blocked fallopian tubes.

“Sexually transmitted diseases, abdominal surgery and endometriosis cause fallopian tubes blockage.

“Uterine infection caused by abortion or miscarriage and ruptured appendix could be contributory factors to blocked fallopian tubes.

“Blocked tube (s) from birth, clipping to prevent pregnancy and accidental damage after surgery was causative factors of blocked fallopian tubes.

“Ectopic pregnancy and surgery involving the fallopian tubes could also cause blocked fallopian tubes,’’ he added.

He said there were two major types of blocked fallopian tubes- the hydrosalpinx and pyosalpinx, explaining that the latter did not involve scarring of the tubes but rather accumulate fluids into them.

Kayode explained that hydrosalpinx was where the tubes were filled with water which doesn’t allow embryo to stay.

The gynaecologist added that it was possible for pregnancy to occur if one of the fallopian tubes is clear, depending on how well the ovaries were functioning, and also what caused the blockage.

He said that it was important to treat any form of sexually transmitted diseases to avoid blocked fallopian tubes.

Kayode said that introduction of fertility drugs to increase the chances of ovulating on the open side of the tube could help treat blocked fallopian tubes to aid pregnancy.

He said that laparoscopic surgery (minimally invasive surgery) could open blocked tubes or remove scar tissue that caused the condition could help in treating blocked fallopian tubes.

He also said that invitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment was the best bet in treating blocked fallopian tubes.

Kayode advised that a physician should monitor pregnancy that occurs with the condition, stressing that the risk of ectopic pregnancy was higher after tubal blockage surgery.

Managing fibroids to promote fertility

Managing fibroids to promote fertility

Medical experts observe that sub-mucosal fibroids develop between the muscles of the uterus, and gradually grow towards the endometrial cavity — mucous membrane that lines the womb.

FIBROID SURGERY: Research shows that an estimated 7 in 10 black women are affected.
According to them, sometimes, sub-mucosal fibroids may be attached to the uterus by means of a long stalk, distorting the uterus and interfering with embryo implantation.
Because the fibroids reduce blood flow, they make the lining of the uterus unfriendly to a fertilised egg, they observe further.

===> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM


Experts also note that sub-mucosal fibroids can alter the lining of uterus, reduce fertility and induce heavy or painful menstrual period or sexual intercourse.
Dr Sanni Oladimeji, a gynecologist with the Ikorodu General Hospital, Lagos State, said fibroids were benign tumours or growths that were harmful to women, observing that the exact cause of fibroids was still unknown.
He, nonetheless, said research had revealed that there was a higher occurrence of fibroids in women who had never been pregnant.


“Fibroids are also more common in women with a family history of the growth, if a mother, grandmother or aunt has had fibroids, it is very likely that another female related to them will also get it,’’ he said.
The gynecologist said rare cases where the growth was malignant; it was not a fibroid but a leiomyosarcoma — a smooth muscle tumour that arises from the muscular part of the uterus.

Oladimeji said the location of the fibroid, speed of growth and its size determined the risks and symptoms perceived by each patient.

====> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM


He said the growth could be near the fallopian tubes, muscles, uterus wall or even occupy the entire cavity of the womb.
“Symptoms of fibroids include abnormal vaginal bleeding not caused by menstruation; heavy or painful periods, abdominal discomfort or bloating, painful defecation, back ache, urinary frequency or retention.
“The location of the fibroid in few cases, could also prevent a woman from getting pregnant as well as cause a miscarriage, premature labour or interfere with the position of the foetus in pregnancy,’’ Oladimeji said.


He noted that fibroids could be treated either with medication targeted at symptoms or medication that would shrink the fibroid or with surgery to remove it.
Dr Adeoti Oshinowo, a medical expert in Texas, U.S., however said sub-mucosal fibroid caused infertility in woman in several ways.
She said there was a data that suggested that regular exercise and keeping weight under control was good for preventing the growth of fibroids since they were hormones-related.


====> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM

“Beyond that, there is not much you can do for prevention; the best way to remove the sub-mucosal fibroid is through surgery to improve the chances of fertility.
“Surgery, when recommended by your doctor, can remove fibroids that may be causing fertility problems.
“It is the only treatment for sub-mucosal fibroid that can improve chances of having a baby.

“A cesarean section may be needed for delivery depending on where and how big the incision is,’’ she observed.
She said that after the surgery, the healing process could take up to a year before pregnancy could occur.
She further said that there are some ultrasound ablation techniques that were not recommended for women who desired to get pregnant afterward.

Similarly, Mrs Oluwaseun Ojorutemi, a patient of sub-mucosal fibroid at Garki Hospital, Abuja, said she suffered series of miscarriages before the surgery.
According to her, the foetus could not grow beyond eight weeks because the tumour was distorting the lining of the uterus.
She advised woman with sub-mucosal fibroid that are faced with fertility challenge to go for surgery if recommended to increase their chances of giving birth as other types of fibroids do not cause infertility.

Low progesterone causes miscarriage, infertility – Expert

Low progesterone causes miscarriage, infertility – Expert

Adaora Ukoh, an Abuja based gynaecologist, has said that low progesterone could lead to miscarriage and infertility.
Ms. Ukoh told the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Abuja that if a woman doesn’t have enough progesterone, it would be difficult for pregnancy to occur.
She described progesterone as one of the hormones in a woman’s body that stimulates and regulates various functions such as the ovulation and menstrual cycle.
The expert also explained progesterone as a female sex hormone produced mainly in the ovaries following ovulation each month which is crucial in menstrual cycle as well as maintaining pregnancy.
According to her, progesterone is one of the steroid hormones secreted by the corpus luteum, a temporary endocrine gland that the body produces after ovulation during the second half of a woman’s menstrual cycle.
She added that fertility and menstruation are largely controlled by hormones such as progesterone and if it becomes low, it could reduce the chances of having a normal menstrual cycle as such leads to infertility.
“Women who have low progesterone will have abnormal menstrual cycles and also have difficulty conceiving because the progesterone does not trigger the proper environment for a conceived egg to grow.
“Those that succeed in getting pregnant are at higher risk of miscarriage or pre-term delivery because the hormone progesterone helps maintain pregnancy.

“If you have low progesterone it will be difficult to become pregnant as well as staying pregnant,’’ she said.
However, Ms. Ukoh said that treating the condition could start from introducing hormone therapy in order to increase progesterone as well as thicken the uterine lining.
She suggested oral medications, creams and gels that could be used in the vagina in order to help promote the level of progesterone.
Ms. Ukoh also recommended the intake of vitamins such as B and C as well as consuming foods rich in zinc such as shellfish to help treat the condition.
She further enjoined women with the condition to avoid stress, noting that cortisol are released when stressed, which reduces the level of progesterone.
The expert however advised women trying to conceive who have liver disease and blood clots among others, to avoid the use of hormone therapy.

Why Know Secondary Infertility?

Why Know Secondary Infertility?

Why Know Secondary Infertility

Simply because you have to!

While you may have conceived your first child with ease and deliver her healthy afterwards, you are still likely to become a patient of a condition we call secondary infertility.

===> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM

A strange condition it is, secondary infertility is characterized by the inability to conceive after a year of unprotected sexual intercourse following thedelivery of the first child. The causes involve both of the participants yet for the quarter of the reasons studied, causes are multi-factorial.

The primary factor in secondary infertility is age.

It is known that women, while being conceived are already equipped with the precise number of egg cells that will mature as they age.

The pick release of these egg cells occurs during the midyears woman commencing at her twenties. Then comes menopause, which is simply the lack or absence of egg cells since they were already released and used previously. If there were any left during the latter years towards menopause, the egg cells are likely to be unhealthy and incapable of becoming fertilized, even with well-timed intercourse. At these years (age 45 and above), the possibility of forming a zygote is only 6%.

====> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM

While we may presume that some more eggs may be left from the whole batch, they still would not be able to fertilize since they have been for long, exposed to environmental hazards that are contributors to the degeneration of egg quality.

Lesser studies on male secondary infertility were conducted though. Yet the link between the lessened quality of sperm cells is likely to be the main and determining reason.

Another condition why secondary condition appears is the introduction of a new partner. If a male or female were able to produce a child previously, changes in a new partner's nature may severely affect the capacity to conceive once more.

To complete the known reasons to secondary infertility, it would be best that we view some troubles concerning pathology.

Essentially, the problem focuses on the interruption of any of the vital steps by which fertilization occurs.

For one, healthy sperm and egg cells must be produced. If the problem occurs in here chances are, either of the couple may have developed secondary infertility.

Second, a supportive environment must be provided. In the absence of a favorable place to nurse the zygote, there is no sense to fertilize egg and sperm cells.

Again, we must understand that there are many conditions that will intensify the chance of becoming infertile. All these may develop after the first successful pregnancy.

This and other topics of infertility including treatment options are contained in the Secret Fertility System.

How to Check Your Cervical Mucus and Detect Ovulation

How to Check Your Cervical Mucus and Detect Ovulation
What Happens Before and After Ovulation + How to Track Cervical Mucus Changes

By Rachel Gurevich
Fertility Expert

Fertile cervical mucus is a clue that ovulation is coming. If you want to get pregnant, you need to have sex before ovulation.

You can predict this by checking and tracking cervical mucus changes.

Yes, this will mean looking and (usually) touching your vaginal discharge. You may feel squeamish about it, but… this is your body!

Knowing how your body works can be really empowering. It’s been years since I was actively trying to conceive. And yet, even now, I am always aware of where I am in my cycle and when I’m about to ovulate.

It truly becomes second nature!

===> ==> CLICK THIS LINK TO GET FREE ACCESS TO DOWNLOAD THE SECRET FERTILITY SYSTEM

What Is Cervical Mucus?

Cervical mucus is secreted by glands found in and around the cervix. Hormonal changes throughout a woman’s reproductive cycle change the amount and consistency of this mucus. Cervical mucus may also be called cervical fluids.

The job of cervical mucus is to either…

prevent things from entering the uterus through the cervix, or
to nourish and help transport sperm through the cervix into the uterus

Just before ovulation occurs, the hormone estrogen causes an increase in cervical mucus and changes it into a stretchy, viscous like substance. This helps sperm survive and swim.

After ovulation, the hormone progesterone causes cervical mucus to become sticky and thick. This stops sperm (and any other foreign substance) from getting through to the uterus.
Understanding the Connection Between Ovulation and Cervical Mucus

If you already track your body basal temperature (BBT), adding cervical mucus tracking is a good idea.

Your BBT will tell you if and when you ovulated after it happened. Cervical mucus changes can tell you before you ovulate.

As ovulation approaches, your cervical mucus changes from a consistency that’s not sperm friendly to a more fertile variety.

While everyone’s body is different, the general changes that cervical mucus go through are…
dry or sticky
to creamy, like lotion
to wet and watery
to a raw egg white consistency
then, back to dry and sticky

When your cervical mucus is in the wet or raw-egg-white consistency stage, ovulation is approaching. This is the best time to have sex if you want to get pregnant.

How to Check Your Cervical Mucus:

First, wash and dry your hands well.

Find a comfortable position, either by sitting on the toilet, squatting, or standing up and putting one leg up on the bathtub edge or toilet seat.

Reach one finger inside your vagina; your index or middle finger is probably best. (Be careful not to scratch yourself.)
Depending on how much cervical mucus you’re producing, you may not need to reach so far, but getting a sample from near your cervix is ideal.

Remove your finger from your vagina and observe the consistency of whatever mucus you find.

Do this by both looking at the mucus and rolling what you find between two fingers (usually your thumb and index finger). Try pressing your fingers together and then slowly moving them apart.

If what you find seems sticky, or findings are scant, you’re probably not ovulating yet.
If what you find is creamy, ovulation may be coming, but not just yet.
If what you find is wet, watery, and slightly stretchy, ovulation is very likely close. Find time for some baby-making sex.
If what you find is very wet, stretches between your fingers for an inch or more, and resembles raw egg white, your cervical mucus is very fertile. Ovulation is right around the corner, and now is the ideal time for intercourse.

If you are charting your BBT, you should mark down on your chart your cervical mucus findings.

Abbreviations often used are S for sticky, C for creamy, W for wet, and EW (or EWCM) for egg-white cervical mucus.

Tips for Checking Cervical Mucus

Don’t check your cervical mucus during or right after sex.

Also, avoid checking when you’re feeling sexually aroused.

Arousal fluids are not the same as fertile cervical mucus, but you probably won’t be able to tell the difference. So don’t check at these times.

Checking after sex is also a bad idea. It’s too easy to confuse semen for cervical secretions.

You can check your cervical mucus by looking at the toilet paper or your underwear.

Not everyone is comfortable with putting their finger inside to check themselves. But you don’t have to.

You can instead pay attention to how wet your vulva feels on a day to day basis, pay attention to the discharge on your underwear, or look at the toilet paper after urination.

There is, in fact, an entire method based on this: the Billings Ovulation Method.

With all that said, it’s easier for many women to physically check themselves and reach inside.

Consider checking your cervical mucus after bowel movements.

Of course, first wash your hands well! But if you have trouble finding cervical mucus, it may be easier after a bowel movement.

Having a bowel movement moves down any vaginal discharge closer to the entrance of your vagina.

If you have multiple patches of fertile cervical mucus, look for additional ovulation signs beside CM.

Some women, especially those with PCOS, have several patches of fertile-looking cervical mucus throughout their cycle.

If this is your situation, predicting ovulation by tracking cervical mucus might not work well for you.

You should consider paying attention to other ovulation signs, like cervical position changes.

You may also want to chart your basal body temperature, so you know which (if any) of the fertile cervical fluids indicated ovulation.

Some medication may interfere with your cervical fluids.

Antihistamines dry up more than your sinuses — they also dry up your cervical fluids.

Ironically, Clomid can prevent you from having fertile quality cervical mucus. In this case, you might not find as much fertile cervical mucus before ovulation.

In this case, you might want to try using an ovulation predictor kit to detect ovulation instead.

If you never get fertile quality cervical mucus, tell your doctor.

Lacking fertile quality cervical mucus can be a sign of a hormonal imbalance or fertility problem.

Cervical mucus that doesn’t ever become fertile is sometimes referred to as hostile cervical mucus.

You may see fertile cervical mucus again right before your period.

Some women notice that their cervical mucus becomes wet or almost egg-white like again right before menstruation.

Obviously, this isn’t a sign of impending ovulation.

Women sometimes wonder if getting a lot of cervical mucus just before their period is due is a possible early pregnancy sign.

The fact of the matter is, it’s almost impossible to tell the difference between “early pregnancy” cervical mucus and regular “just before your period comes” cervical mucus.

You may confuse semen with cervical mucus.

A day or two after sexual intercourse, you may confuse semen with wet cervical mucus.

With experience, you can learn how to differentiate the two.

But for the purposes of getting pregnant, assume that you may be approaching ovulation and mark your calendar or chart accordingly.

Do not attempt to wash away your natural vaginal fluids!

Cervical mucus is normal and healthy. Some women wash away “ovulation secretions” thinking they are unhygienic or unhealthy.

Don’t do this! Douching can actually decrease your fertility.
