Fertility/Pregnancy/Post-partum
Fertility and postpartum problems are two of the most common issues that affect women.
Fertility affects the ability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term. It is different from postpartum problems, which occur after childbirth. Both fertility and postpartum problems can cause a woman’s body to go through changes that make it difficult for her to become pregnant or give birth, but they are not related to one another.
Fertility problems are common among women who have had difficulty conceiving, while postpartum problems include physical complications like postpartum depression, as well as emotional complications like postpartum anxiety.
What causes fertility and postpartum problems
Fertility and postpartum problems are both common issues that can affect a woman’s health. As such, it is important for women to be aware of the causes of these problems and how they can be prevented or treated. Fertility Problems can be caused by a number of factors:
- Lifestyle choices: Women who smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol regularly may have a harder time getting pregnant than women who do not engage in these activities. The same goes for women who do not exercise regularly and eat poorly—these lifestyle choices can lead to fertility problems in women.
- Age: As women age, they may experience more fertility issues because their ovaries become less fertile over time. This is why many women choose to start trying to conceive at an older age than younger women do.
- Pregnancy history: If you’ve had previous pregnancies where you miscarried or lost your baby before birth, you may experience fertility issues during future pregnancies. This is because previous miscarriages can cause scarring on your uterus, which makes it difficult for your body to sustain a healthy pregnancy again in the future.
Pregnancy is a time of joy and excitement, but it can also be a time of worry and stress. If your pregnancy is not proceeding as you had hoped, there are several different reasons why that could be happening. Here are some common causes of pregnancy problems:
- You’re overly anxious or worried about the pregnancy.
- You have an underlying medical condition that affects your ability to conceive or carry a baby to term.
- Your partner has an underlying medical condition that affects his ability to conceive or carry a baby to term.
- Your body is unable to carry a child because it’s too old or too young or because of hormonal imbalances related to stress and anxiety around conception itself (or other issues).
With insomnia, hormone imbalances, and feeding difficulties, the postpartum period can be difficult for new parents. Do you know following childbirth, roughly 1 in 10 women will experience postpartum depression, though some studies indicate that this number is closer to 1 in 7?

Why treating the root cause of fertility/pregnancy and postpartum important?
The most important thing to remember when it comes to treating fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum problems is that they are not just a matter of managing symptoms. They are a result of imbalances in the body that need to be addressed at their source.
If you want to get pregnant or stay pregnant, you need to look beyond what is happening on the surface and work with your body’s natural healing abilities. And if you want to feel good during pregnancy and after childbirth, you need to understand how your hormones work and how they can be balanced naturally.
This means addressing diet and lifestyle factors as well as looking for underlying conditions that may be causing a problem. For example: if you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome), it’s important not just to deal with the symptoms, such as obesity or acne but also to look at why this condition developed in the first place.
