5 Important Things You Need to Know About Female Infertility:
If you are in your 30s and are trying to get pregnant, you sure would have been familiar with the word ‘Fertility’ or the lack of it: ‘Infertility’. Your Fertility status and reproductive health directly impact your ability to conceive and raise a healthy child. But most of the women don’t seem to know about Fertility until they chance into a reproductive problem in their later 20s or early 30s.
So, what is Fertility?
Fertility is the ability to reproduce. A fertile men fathers the children and as for women, it is her ability to get pregnant and carry the pregnancy to a full term. There are many factors that can deter this ability in both men and women, causing Infertility. Fertility is a raising problem which sometimes cannot be naturally treated if the couple is not proactive about their reproductive health.
If you are that couple who would like to educate yourself about the Fertility problem, then here are the 5 important things you should know:
Being healthy doesn’t mean you are Fertile:
You lead an active life, exercise every day, eat right and lead a healthy life. That doesn’t mean you are free from the fertility problems. Infertility is not like your general health problems; three in every twenty healthy couple face these problems. So, consult a doctor if you are finding it difficult to conceive after persistent efforts after a year at the least.
It’s not always the ‘She’ problem:
The word Infertility is usually attributed to female, which is not at all true. Healthy men can be infertile too. In fact, Male infertility is responsible for 30% of the Infertility cases which is the same as female infertility and the remaining 30% are a combination of both.
Yes, your weight of female does affect Fertility:
It was found that almost 12% of the infertility cases were caused by weight problems. It’s not just about being overweight about being malnourished and underweight can burden your chances. Given that a minimum of 22% of body fat is required for normal menstruation and reproductive cycle, maintaining a healthy weight is paramount for women.
Age is the most important factor. Both for men and women:
Fertility hits the peak in the 20s for both men and women. And then slowly rolls off after the early 30s in women. While the window period is slightly large for men (50), it was found that the kids of older fathers are at an increased risk of health problems. So, age remains an inevitable factor impacting your fertility status.
Your lifestyle can impact your fertility:
Being in perfect health doesn’t mean you are fertile. But your ill-health does impact your fertility. Unhealthy lifestyle choices do affect your general health which directly impacts your reproductive health.
- Drinking alcohol
- Smoking Cigarette (even second-hand smoke)
- Chronic Stress
- Poor Diet.
So, if you are a couple planning to start a family in the near future, we request you to make amends to your lifestyle choices. If you are finding it difficult to get pregnant or sustain a pregnancy, we advise you to consult a qualified doctor to seek help. Most of the Fertility problems are treatable and can be easily solved with the right help.

Pregnancy is the most exciting phase in the life of a woman. It is quite common for you to feel antsy and nervous about the 9 months journey that you are about to take. Of course, you are filled with many questions about the lifestyle choices you will have to make for optimal development of your baby.
Additional dietary requirements during Pregnancy:
Now that you are two, you will be in need of additional nutrients, vitamins, minerals and not to forget additional calories. An additional 300-500 calories are needed each day by the pregnant women from the day you enter your second trimester. All these additional requirements have to be met through a balanced diet of protein-rich foods, fruits, whole grains.
Where do Organic foods fit in the mix?
Maintain a balanced diet through a variety of food sourced do help, but what really counts is the quality of foods that are consumed to satiate the dietary requirements. The fruits, vegetables, that we consume are often produced using harsh pesticides, and chemicals, same might hold true for the meat products like Chicken (estrogen injection) and fish (high mercury levels). The risk of chemicals and pesticides though is minimal for an adult it could prove harmful for the baby in development.
What are Organic foods? Are they a good choice for you?
Organic foods are products of a farming process that do not use artificial chemicals, preservatives, hormones pesticides or Genetically Modified Organisms. Dairy products, fruits, vegetables, and meat are the most common choices of Organic foods.
While Organic foods are recommended for everyone, they are more important for pregnant women. The harmful chemicals and pesticides consumed by the mother can find their way to the baby who is not strong enough to fight them. Moreover, organic foods are considered more nutritious and economically friendly too. So Organic foods truly make a great choice, especially for pregnant women.
But the only gripe about the organic foods is that they are not easily available if that is the case you can follow these simple tips:
Wash clean the fruits and vegetables thoroughly to remove the chemical residue. Though the chemically are absorbed into the produce, removing the outer layer will drastically reduce the chemicals.
Most of the chemical gets absorbed into the fat and skin of the meat. Make sure you remove the skin and fat of the meat products before consuming them. Avoid eating outside food if possible; especially the meat.
Good nutrition and physical activity form the core of a healthy lifestyle. While the physical activity is limited, your dietary choices have a significant impact on your baby’s health and they are under your control too. So eat safely.

Endometriosis is a condition where the ‘Endometrium’, the tissue that lines the walls of the uterus grows outside the uterus. The ‘Endometrium’ is a vital lining of the uterus that acts as a cradle for the embryos during implantation. It is the most important part of a female reproductive system that is responsible for menstruation, pregnancy, and development of the embryo.
But the displacement of this Endometrium i.e. the growth of this Endometrium in other areas of the body can result in a painful disorder called Endometriosis.
But here’s why Endometriosis is such a painful disorder:
Though it looks like a tissues displacement, Endometriosis is the cause of a lot of pain and has a serious effect on the reproductive health of women. To completely understand the condition let us go back to its basic function:
During a normal menstrual cycle, a woman’s body produces hormones that thicken this endometrium so as to receive the fertilized egg after copulation. If the egg is not fertilized, the uterus sheds the endometrial lining which along with vaginal secretions, cervical mucus and unfertilized egg form the menstrual blood that is pushed out for every period.
So, what happens when the Endometrium grows outside the uterus?
When this same Endometrium tissue happens to grow on the outside of the uterus, it responds to the said hormones just like it would react if it was inside the uterus. The tissue continues to thicken, and then it sheds every month causing pain.
But as this tissue is formed outside the uterus, the broken tissue has no way out and so it gets deposited inside the body. This trapped tissue irritates the surround causing inflammation, pain and causing a host of medical complications.
The Symptoms of Endometriosis:
Painful periods, pain during sex and intense pelvic pain in between the periods are the general symptoms of Endometriosis. That said, the growth of endometrial tissue can happen in the vicinity of any body part. So, the symptoms depend on the locations of the tissue which include:
- Pain in the back, groin or abdomen.
- Pain during urination, especially during the periods.
- Unexplained fatigue, weakness and bloating.
- Fertility problems in women.
- Bowel and bladder problems.
- Surgery complications.
What makes Endometriosis a serious threat is it might go unnoticed until it is too late. Not all cases of Endometriosis show the symptoms. Almost a third of women discover this condition when they are a treatment for something else most notably, infertility. Endometriosis if left untreated can seriously impact your ability to get pregnant or can interfere with the development of the embryo in its early stages. So we advise you to consult your doctor if any of the above symptoms show-up.
Are you apprehensive about the treatment options or finding it hard to get the right doctor?
No problem. Dr Neelima Mantri has been successfully treating the above problems for many years now!
