As a single lady, there isn’t any pressure about giving birth just
yet until when the right man comes along and your dream wedding is
actualized. After the wedding comes the quest to raise a family; this is
a period where you need your fertility and ability to conceive intact.
As simple as this process may sound, you may be amazed that a large number of married couples are trying hard to conceive. A process that affects the couple physically, emotionally, psychologically and financially. It is something you shouldn’t have to look forward to when you take the right precautions to stay healthy and detect fertility issues on time.
Ovulation in female is the process leading to reproduction. It is the essence of our fertility, a synchronization of all female reproductive organs (Internal: uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries; External: vulva, labia, clitoris and vaginal opening) towards creating a new life and as a woman, you wouldn’t want anything to tamper with this natural process.
Now even though they are other genetic or natural causes of infertility, it is better to do your own part and maintain optimal fertile health through engaging in the following:
How to care for your fertilty
- Chart and take note of disorders in your menstrual cycle and report quickly to a specialized doctor for treatments.
- Maintain a healthy nutrition that supports hormonal health.
- Avoid contraceptives that don’t react well with your body system or contain system altering hormone
There are benefits to this method as they are side effects: bordering from the minor (headaches, anxiety, weight gain, irregular periods, nausea, mood changes etc.) to the major (heart attack, stroke, ovarian cancer, blood cots etc.). The rule of thumb is to consult a family planning specialist to examine and determine the best method for your body system. But please take note that no birth control method is 100% effective other than abstinence.
Note also: extensive use of birth control pills for long period of years (i.e. over eight years) is not advised because the continuous altering of your hormone and cycle may cause hormonal imbalance in your general body system.
- Carefully manage your weight; Don’t be underweight or over weight.
Similarly, being underweight is not any better because it has a negative consequence to how your brain send signal to other hormone producing organs of your body. For example, hormone production needed for ovulation may be abandoned in preference to other body functions. Functions that would help the body retain the much needed fat and energy.
- Quit smoking and the intake of excessive Alcohol
Do you also know that smoking causes you to reach menopause earlier than usual? And that it affects the development of the fetus in the womb, lead to pregnancy complications, birth defects and low birth weight? The best and only solution is to quit.
- Consider the dangers of having an abortion to your fertility
Now you may be thinking of having an abortion, but before you carry out the procedure; consider the risk it may have on your future fertility, especially if it is not done appropriately. Or if post-abortion treatments (Antibiotics) are not administered or you allow the pregnancy stay longer before getting it done. Such risks according to NHS include:
- Womb infections; damage to the uterus and/or cervix (entrance to the womb)
- Severe pain in your abdomen that defiles pain killers
- Excessive bleeding days after the procedure
- Getting some of the pregnancy remains in the womb
- Infection spread to your Fallopian tubes and ovaries causing Pelvic Inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancies or infertility.
- Smelly vaginal discharge
- High temperature fever
- Experiencing a continuing pregnancy symptoms
- Avoid multiple sexual partners
- Pay attention to your vaginal discharge.
- Don’t sit at one place for too long
- Do not expose your uterus to cold. In order to do this, avoid the intake of raw and cold foods and drinks especially during menstruation; instead ensure that you are adequately covered up and warm till it dries out.
