Is Infertility Linked To Digestive Problems?

-


Did you know, digestive problems such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohns Disease (CD), Coeliac Disease (CD) and Small Bowel Over Growth (SBO) contribute to lowered fertility in women?

This is why learning how to manage your digestive problems is the first step to preparing your body for pregnancy and improving positive fertility outcomes either naturally or assisted. Leaving digestive disturbances undiagnosed or untreated can lead to poor implantation and early miscarriage.

So What are the 5 Reasons Why Poor Digestion Lowers Fertility?

1. Triggers Autoimmunity
2. Changes Cytokine involvement in the lower reproductive system
3. Leaky Gut - Increases toxicity and decreases absorption of key fertility nutrients
4. Contributes to hormonal changes including insulin resistance
5. Contributes to neurotransmitter changes associated with fertility

Why are These So Important and what Can I Do?

1. Triggers Autoimmunity
Autoimmunity is commonly associated with both Coeliac and Crohns Disease; two hidden causes of lowered fertility in women. In addition, digestive dysbiosis may trigger autoimmune antibodies (eg. thyroid); influencing ovulation and implantation. These triggers are often associated with recurrent miscarriage or lowered implantation rates.

2. Cytokine Involvement
Cytokine involvement Researchers agree, cytokines (immune cells triggered by digestive dysbiosis) play an important role in fertility. They are linked to changes in female reproductive hormones, irregular ovulation or be a reason why you are not ovulating. This can be due to their influence on neuroendocrine events (hormones), ovarian function, placental development, and the developing embryo.

3. Leaky Gut Syndrome
Leaky Gut Syndrome and Ulcerative Colitis can be triggered by Small Bowel overgrowth or other factors such as bacteria and parasites. Research supports successful management of these factors to improve fertility so you can get pregnant faster.

4. Hormonal Changes and Insulin Resistance
Digestive flora plays a key role in supporting reproductive hormone health. It significantly contributes to Insulin Resistance, a key cause of unexplained infertility.

5. Neurotransmitter Changes
Neurotransmitters like serotonin and melatonin are important in regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting regular ovulation.

The good news is; getting to the cause is possible.

The first step towards a healthy pregnancy is being ready to make positive changes. Each pregnancy is a new journey and one that deserves the best preparation to ensure your body is baby ready.

With over 20 years of clinical practice specializing in fertility and women's’ health, Narelle Stegehuis understands the complexity of fertility challenges.

By offering her clients access to the most up to date research, pathology testing and natural fertility enhancement options; many women successfully conceive and maintain a healthy pregnancy.

Testing for the Cause

There are many non invasive tests available through my clinic to help determine these 3 causes of lowered fertility, many of which are performed or collected in the privacy and comfort of your own home.

Preparing your body for a successful pregnancy outcome has never been easier. By blending modern science with nature, you can have a fresh start.

Heavy Metals - Make Getting Pregnant Harder Did you know, heavy metals contribute to lowered fertility in both men and women? if you are trying to conceive and want to get pregnant faster, testing for heavy metals is a great place to start. It could be the missing link to why you can't get pregnant - read more ... Heavy metals make getting pregnant harder as they affect both both male and female fertility. Unfortunately, heavy metals are rarely tested as part of a fertility treatment plan. Heavy metals such as cadmium, mercury, nickel, lead, molybdenum and copper (to name a few) can interfere with the production or action of hormones, sperm production and health and oocyte quality and decrease fertility. Research also indicates heavy metals to play a role in Poly Cystic Ovarian Disorder (PCOS) and Premature Ovarian Failure (an inability to ovulate). These are common causes of infertility in women. The good news is testing is available at BUMP What most people don't ...

Mercury and Fertility If you want to get pregnant faster, you need to rethink your fertility strategy. Unexplained infertility in both men and women can be caused by heavy metasl like mercury. The accumulation of mercury causes infertility in both men and women.  It can interfere with the production or action of hormones, sperm production and health and oocyte quality. If you have been trying to conceive with no luck and you have ‘unexplained infertility’, it’s time to rethink your strategy and find new ways to improve your health so you can conceive naturally. Heavy Metals a link to Unexplained Infertility Mercury is a nasty heavy metal that a lot of people are exposed to through dental fillings. Women with 4-10 amalgam fillings were estimated to uptake 8-30 mcg mercury daily through their saliva, women with over 10 fillings were estimated to uptake 163 mcg (4,6), with this amount more than doubling if they were chewing (for instance on gum). To put this in perspec...
