Homeopathic Medicines for Infertility

By Dr. Vikas Sharma MD 

Often, couples take a long time to acknowledge infertility and even when they’re ready to face the problem, they grapple with the dilemma of what treatment is best suited. Are you in such a situation, where you are unable to have a child and unable to decide which remedy to go in for? Well, homeopathic medicines offer huge hope and a clear advantage over conventional treatments and how.
But, first, it’s important to identify the condition. Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive (get pregnant) despite having regular unprotected sex for one or more than one year (six months’ limit if the female’s age is more than 35). If it takes beyond this time period, medical help is needed and must be sought. The cause for infertility can be either present in the male or female, while in 20 per cent of the cases, the cause is present in both partners. The biggest fallout of this problem is the psychological and social inadequacy that the couple suffers for being childless. Homeopathic medicines offer huge hope to a couple faced with infertility.
Homeopathic remedies for this condition are safe, successful and shorn of any side-effects. Since homeopathic medicines use the body’s own defences to counter the infertile condition, compared to conventional cures, this treatment is comparatively safer and non-intrusive. Its main advantage is that homeopathic medicines are drawn from natural substances, which makes them toxin-free.
