Infertility In Men & Women - How Homeopathy Can Help Cure It?

Homeopathy believes that infertility is just a manifestation of a deep, underlying body symptom. So while conventional medicines try to treat infertility by just looking at the reproductive system, homoeopathy looks at the body as a whole.  The doctor will try to understand the couple’s underlying problems and then come up with a cure.  Male and female infertility is addressed separately and the most common remedies are listed below. 
It is extremely important to note that self-medication is not advised, and each couple and individual would need proper assessment and treatment.

Male:

1. Agnus Castus:
   • This is used in males where infertility is associated with erectile dysfunction
   • It helps improve sexual desire and physical ability to perform
   • The patient would have cold, relaxed, flaccid genitals
2. Caladium:
   • Impotency in these men is also associated with mental depression
   • Though desire is present, the erections are generally weak and not 
3. Selenium:
   • These men also may have erectile dysfunction with weak and delayed erections.
   • Emissions may be rapid and involuntary. 
4. X-Ray:
   • Reduced sperm count
   • Improves both quantity and quality of sperms 
5. Conium:
   • Useful in males with orchitis
   • The testicles are hard, swollen, and enlarged
   • History of suppressed desire
6. Sabal Serrulata
   • Associated with wasting of testes
   • Also useful where there is prostate enlargement or prostatitis

Female infertility

1. Borax
   • Useful in women who have acidic vaginal discharge.  This kills the sperms and could cause infertility.
   • Borax is useful when the discharge is similar to egg white, copious, and warm. Altering the pH can improve successful conception
2. Natrum Phos:
   • Discharge is honey coloured, sour smelling, and irritating
   • This discharge is also acidic, reducing sperm life
3. Pulsatilla:
   • Useful in women who have scanty periods that do not last long and never appear on the due date
   • These women have a history of irregular menses since the onset of menarche
   • Also useful in women who have polycystic ovarian disease
4. Aletris farinose
   • Early and copious menstruation in addition to white discharge
   • Anaemia, weakness, fatigue, and tiredness
   • Useful in women who have had recurrent abortions.
5. Sepia
   • These women present with menstrual cycles that are short, suppressed, and not regular in the flow.
   •  There is also a bearing down sensation where the patient feels the uterus is going to slide down
   • It is also possible these women have reduced drive
6. Natrum carb
   • These women have difficulty retaining sperms
   • The vaginal discharge could also be offensive and irritating 
7. Calcarea Carb:
   • This is another remedy used when there is profuse bleeding during the menstrual cycles 
   • The periods also tend to appear before their due date and tend to last longer than usual. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Homeopath.
