Ill health of female partners affects reproductive ability in two ways. First is inability to conceive or primary infertility and second is miscarriage. Problems related to the development of egg, quality or health of the egg, health of the female genital tract, from vagina to ovaries and having a favourable environment in the uterus, uninterrupted supply of nutrients for the growth and development of embryo, exposure to toxins etc can affect the fertility of a woman. Cell activation protocol helps the woman to optimize her health thereby ensure giving a favourable environment for the egg and embryo for growth and development. CAP not only helps to overcome infertility but prevent complications during pregnancy and delivery and better intellectual and physical development of the child.

Female factor infertility is the incapacity to complete a complex process from the beginnings of the single cell egg to the union with a healthy single cell sperm from another individual and the development of the embryo over nine months and delivery of a healthy baby.

• Egg development: Problems associated with egg development is the most common cause of female factor infertility. PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) a lifestyle associated hormonal and metabolic imbalance leading to anovulation and irregular menstruation is the commonest cause.
• Hormones: This have a major role in the production of egg, menstrual regularity and maintenance of pregnancy. Control and coordination of hormones FSH, LH and prolactin from brain, thyroid hormones, insulin, oestrogen, progesterone, placental hormones etc play a crucial role in fertility.
• Structural: Tubal factors and blockage may prevent sperm reaching the egg. Physiological block by a mucus plug or pathological block due to infection is the causative factor here. Physiological block with mucus plug can be easily treated by tubal washing.
• Pelvic inflammatory disease caused by infections like tuberculosis or sexually transmitted diseases can affect the fertility by damaging the ovary or the genital tract.
• Immune system: The ability to tolerate a genetically different embryo inside the womb for 280 days play an important role in the growth and development of embryo inside the uterus. Immunologic imbalance and derailment can lead to infertility and recurrent abortions.
• Obesity and underweight, both can negatively affect fertility of the woman by creating hormonal imbalance and immune derailment leading to difficulty in conception or recurrent abortion.
• Toxic exposure: Exposure to environmental toxins and excess fat accumulation leading to hormonal and immune imbalance and DNA fragmentation in egg can affect fertility.
• Problems of female reproductive organs structural anomalies, intrauterine adhesions, fibroids, peri tubal adhesions, endometriosis etc can compromise fertility.
• Age-related: After 25years fertility start decreasing and after 40 years female fertility drops drastically.
• Genetic factors: Chromosomal anomalies like balanced translocations, sex chromasome anomalies like turners syndrome, DNA damage in germ cells etc can affect fertility.

Treatment challenges

Since the problems can be at any point starting from the health of the egg to the birth of the baby the nature of female factor infertility can be relatively more complex

Challenge in medical treatment

In female factor infertility it is to identify the cause of the problem and provide remedial treatment where possible and improve overall fertility with measures to optimise health to improve treatment outcomes.

Treatment objectives

In treating female factor infertility often the real treatment is overcoming the root cause. Generally the female factors are broadly classified as egg health, sperm movement, fertilisation and fertilised egg transport within the body, reproductive organ internal environment and physiological interactions between mother and foetus. Modern ART procedures have provided some solutions for the second and third challenges of sperm movement and fertilisation but the primary issues of egg health, internal environment and physiological interactions between mother and foetus have very strong links with the mother’s health. This is why optimising the health of the mother is very important for best treatment outcomes.

Improves quality of reproductive parameters by optimising health at cell level.

Total health optimisation improves overall fertility which helps to overcome fertility health challenges with better success.

Cell activation treatment focuses on optimal functioning of the body at a cellular level including all 50-70 trillion cells of the body. Optimization of health at cellular level with optimal nutrition and minimizing toxins with optimized nutrient compositions, and improved blood and lymph circulation with oxyflex improve all aspects of reproductive health along with general health. This approach will benefit the infertile women in many ways including improvement of egg production and its quality, to overcome lifestyle diseases like obesity, diabetes, hypertension etc which will help the women to prevent many pregnancy complications and reduce the need of medications. This also reduces the need for surgical interventions and ART procedures thereby reduce cost and complications associated with treatment. Continued practice of cell activation during pregnancy and lactation will help to prevent complications of delivery and ensure optimal support for the growing baby and achieve optimal intellectual and physical growth.

• Reducing need for intensive treatment: Incorporating Cell Activation treatment in infertility management protocol will reduce the need of medication, operative interventions and ART procedures.
• Helps to reduce weight in obese patients: Patients can achieve around 10-20% weight reduction in 2 months.
• Underweight weight gain: Helps the underweight woman to gain weight, improve muscle and bone strength, improve stamina and there by preparing herself to the increased demands of carrying the baby inside the womb and after delivery.
• Reduce possibility of complications: Helps to reduce the possibility of abortion, congenital anomalies and pregnancy complications like gestational diabetes, hypertension, preterm labor, IUGR etc.
• CAP reduces the cost and complications related to infertility treatment by reducing the need for surgical interventions like laparoscopy, hysteroscopy etc and ART procedures like IVF.
• CAP helps to improve pregnancy rate and carry baby rate inIUI and IVF cycles.
• Optimises health: Helps to correct health problems like obesity, diabetes, hypertension etc before entering pregnancy. Type 2 diabetic patients can stop hypoglycemic medications on day one of CAP treatment.
• Helps to correct health issues like irritability, depression, allergy, asthma, dyslipidemia, constipation, piles etc.
• Health optimisation: Ensure optimal intellectual and physical development of the expected baby by ensuring optimal nutrition for the egg, sperm and foetus.
• Optimized nutrient food is free of added preservatives, flavours, colours, and other food additives there by not only ensure optimal nutrition to the egg, sperm and baby but reduce the toxin entering the body.
• Oxyflex, the gentle breath regulated activity protocol can be continued throughout pregnancy which will improve placental circulation and ensure enough nutrients reaching the baby.

Patient options

The informed patient is the key to treatment success.

• Cell Activation Program (CAP) is normally a 3 month Outpatient Program for Health Optimisation. However depending on individual requirements the duration may be extended depending on the health challenge and the extent of improvements required in body parameters. An initial evaluation visit is essential and follow up visits vary case by case.
• You have female factor infertility symptoms or you suspect so please get a check up and follow up at the earliest.
• You have female factor infertility you should be watchful regards your lifestyle as well.
• You female factor infertility and you want to check out how you can benefit from optimizing health with Cell Activation you can call / fix an appointment at Life Care Centre.
