When a couple fails to conceive despite having unprotected sex for about a year, it is termed as infertility. The factors that contribute to infertility in men include older age, low sperm count, abnormal sperm motility, impaired sperm production, cancer treatment, excessive exposure to harmful chemicals and pesticides, recurrent exposure to heat, obesity, alcohol consumption, drug abuse, tobacco, use and poor nutrition. Female infertility can be caused by a number of medical conditions, such as fallopian tube damage or occlusion, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, ovulation problems, pelvic adhesion, polycystic syndrome, or early stoppage of menstrual cycle.

Certain lifestyle factors such as obesity, underweight, alcohol use, tobacco smoking, and excessive exercise can also lead to infertility in women. It has been noted that age also affects a woman’s chances of getting pregnant. Several treatment options are now available to treat infertility in both men and women. You can also try home remedies for infertility to deal with your infertility problem. There are a few lifestyle measures that help a woman improve her fertility. They include maintaining adequate body weight, doing moderate exercises regularly, avoiding alcohol, tobacco, and substance abuse, limiting the intake of caffeine, and reducing the use of both prescription and nonprescription medications.

Male fertility can be increased by quitting smoking and excessive alcohol drinking, staying away from recreational drugs, avoiding hot tubs and saunas, reducing the intake of caffeine, wearing loose-fitting underwear, and keeping personal hygiene. Vitamins form an important part of home remedies for infertility. Regular intake of vitami
C is helpful to avoid sperm agglutination or clumping. Likewise, sperm production can be improved by taking 400 IU of vitami
E daily. Nutritional supplements like zinc, selenium, L-Arginine, L-Ca
itine, and essential fatty acids are beneficial to enhance semen volume and quality.

Herbs like Asian ginseng, astragalus and ashwagandha are good home remedies for infertility in men. Pumpkin seeds, a rich source of zinc and essential fatty acids, can support the performance of male reproductive system and encourage the production of sperms. Sperm health can also be improved by drinking one tablespoon of flax seed oil daily. Horny goat weed has traditionally been used by Chinese medicine to boost male fertility. It is considered as a best natural cure for impotency or erectile dysfunction.

Vitamins that support fertility in women include vitami
A, B-complex vitamins, vitami
C, and vitami
E.

A healthy diet is one among the important home remedies for infertility in women. Avoid spicy and fatty foods, white sugar, caffeinated drinks, strong tea, highly sweetened snacks, refined cereals, and red meat. Include foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. Chasteberry herb is an excellent fertility herb for women. This medicinal herb stimulates the production of female reproductive hormone, including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Maca is another medicinal herb that can help women to conceive. It encourages the creation of luteinizing hormone, which regulates ovulation, and eases hormone irregularities. Red clover blossoms are found to be effective to improve fertility in women. However, it increases the risk of bleeding and women who take anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications should not use this herb.
