Infertility, also known as sterility, is among the most common problems. There are many issues that can cause infertility.

Many reasons, ranging from stressful living conditions to genetic causes, can be obstacles to having children. Among the methods applied to increase the success rate in infertility treatments, ozone therapy is one of the leading approaches.

The Effect of Ozone Therapy on Infertility

Ozone is a treatment method used today for many health problems. Thanks to ozone therapy, infections can be eliminated and the openness of the woman’s fallopian tubes can be increased. Positive changes occur in the body during ozone therapy. Since blood circulation is improved to a healthier level, the healing rate is increased.

Especially after certain points in the blood are stimulated, the body’s resistance to toxins and microbes also increases. Medical ozone is produced from pure oxygen by a medical ozone generator and then applied to the patient. Ozone tends to release its third oxygen atom.

This free oxygen molecule is an oxidant; that is, it has the property of oxidizing its surroundings. When this oxidizing molecule is given to the patient’s body in low doses, a kind of vaccination against this agent occurs in the body. The antioxidant mechanism in the patient’s body is strengthened.

Ozone therapy especially works with the human body’s two powerful potentials: the “antioxidant” and the “anti-inflammatory” potentials. In this way, it creates an alarm reaction throughout the body. Naturally, it is a treatment method that strengthens the body against diseases. Ozone therapy, which is one of the leading techniques that increase the success chance for couples with infertility problems, is particularly effective in unexplained infertility cases.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Ozone

In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment can be quite stressful for couples. The difficulty is more psychological than stress caused by the treatment itself. One of the most important factors preventing success during the IVF stage is the difficulty of the fertilized egg to implant in the uterus due to the mother’s stress and the fact that the endometrium layer where it will settle has not reached adequate vascular size and thickness.

Ozone applied during IVF treatment supports this process. Ozone increases oxygenation in all tissues and creates the necessary environment for regeneration (cell renewal).

Couples receiving ozone therapy sessions before IVF treatment get the necessary support for increased cell vitality. Ozone therapy is recommended to increase the success rate of IVF treatment in infertility cases.
