Why married men are turningto the web to satisfy their desires
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
An interesting article by sexologist Bettina Arndt on the growing gulf between male and female sexual desire. As a specialist in fertility issues it is something I have also been hearing about increasingly over the past two decades. As well as sociological factors, I suspect it may also be linked to physiological reasons for declining fertility rates: generations of use of the contraceptive pill, environmental oestrogens, phthalates and other toxins...

Exposure to BPA (Bisphenol-A) could be a contributing factor as to why some infertile couples are having difficulty conceiving.
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
In this in vitro study, exposure to BPA caused a decrease in the eggs that matured, an increase in the percentage of eggs that degenerated and an increase in those that spontaneously activated without fertilisation. This confirms concerns about this chemical, found in many plastic containers and the lining of cans. As fertility is a major part of our practice, in our Perth clinic we advise couples to avoid all plastic food containers and canned food.

Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
When lower than normal levels of thyroid hormone is produced ovulation is affected. This is because prolactin, a hormone which helps a woman’s milk production, is produced in elevated quantities. All aspects of a woman's endocrine or hormonal system needs to be in balance for optimal fertility.

The treatment will not only help in conceiving without difficulty but also lead to a smooth & event-less pregnancy. Treatment for recurrent abortions
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
The treatment of fertility issues with homeopathic medicine is about one quarter of our practice at this Perth clinic. Last month we had fourteen babies born to couples who sought fertility treatment and eight who became pregnant. We use a modified Vannier approach: a lesional, constitutional, fundamental and miasmatic remedy. In those prone to recurrent abortion we have identified several remedies that help, along with the above. This article covers the causes and the hope that homeopathy offers.

Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:
Not only are they harmful to your fertility, but they also reduce your interest in sex itself.
