EXCLUSIVE: All you need to know about the treatment for infertility according to an expert

Infertility, in recent years, in India has emerged as one of the most common health issues that affect young couples today. Sedentary lifestyles with minimum physical activity, incorrect diet, coupled with various other complementary elements like rising stress level and irregular sleep pattern are a few reasons that lead to the growing rise of infertility in young adults today. According to The Indian Society of Assisted Reproduction in 2019, infertility currently affects about 10 to 14 per cent of the Indian population, displaying higher rates in urban or city areas where every one in six couples are impacted with infertility issues. And its manifestation also leads to various other mental issues and conditions that further aggravate the situation.

Popularly we understand infertility is when a female is unable to conceive after 1 year of married life without using any contraception. That is when she is considered for investigations and treatment of infertility.

It is important to understand that infertility can be divided into:

1. Male factor

It does improve sperm motility (sperm agility), reduces stress and improves the function of the male sexual organ. 

2. Female Factor

Can be multiple from hormonal imbalance to infection of the vagina like vulvovaginitis, which is an inflammation or infection of the vagina. Ovarian and Tubal factors which mean ovarian and fallopian tube blockage is can be treated by ozone. These conditions when treated in the initial stages respond well to ozone therapy. 

Infertility is linked to PCOD – polycystic ovarian disease and PID - Pelvic Inflammatory Disease – both can be treated using Ozone Therapy successfully. Contacts of gynaecologist quote here someone who has used it. 

PID - Pelvic Inflammatory Disease is a very common gynaecological disorder caused by bacterial, fungal or other infections of the genital tract and the pelvic area surrounding that. Ozone, being an excellent antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal agent, is very useful in the treatment of PID. Even in the case of chronic PID which are resistant to many antibiotics, Ozone gives better relief and also for a longer time.

Tubal block due to inflammation may be treated with ozone therapy. Ozone given vaginally can reduce the inflammation at the cornue or in tubes and open the block. 

Ovarian factors are complex to treat. Polycystic Ovaries (PCOD) is the commonest ailment in today’s young females. PCOD also leads to obesity, hair fall, irregular menstrual cycle and pimples which exert a lot of stress in young females. Ozone Therapy helps in the correction of the hormones which is beneficial in treating PCOD. 

Doctors say Ozone therapy is extremely effective at reducing inflammation and infection which has cured and helped women to conceive again.

How does Ozone Therapy help –

Ozone therapy works by reducing infection, helps oxygen to reach the inflamed area and it balances hormone by improving metabolism. Ozone therapy also has a powerful disinfectant effect and helps in treating infections caused by bacteria, fungi, yeast, viruses, and protozoa.
