Infertility encompasses all health problems that may prevent a couple from having children. Known as infertility, it can especially arise due to unexplained reasons. In cases of unexplained infertility, supportive treatment methods increase the chances of pregnancy.

Phytotherapy is one of the leading supportive treatments. Phytotherapy is a herbal treatment method. It is a branch of science that treats diseases by using medicinal plants. It is considered a part of modern medicine.

Thanks to phytotherapy, the body's resistance increases. Especially, the side effects of surgical procedures are also minimized.

What is the Effect of Phytotherapy on Infertility?

Infertility can occur due to genetic, physiological, or psychological reasons. The location in the brain where reproductive hormones are secreted is very close to the area of stress hormones. Therefore, even stress is among the factors that can trigger infertility. Through phytotherapy, the body's entire resistance is increased both psychologically and physiologically.

The Turkish Ministry of Health has officially recognized phytotherapy, and the related activities are monitored by the Department of Traditional and Complementary Medicine Practices. Many countries worldwide have long been using phytotherapy and medicinal plants to support disease treatment.

However, phytotherapy should not be confused with herbal remedies. Phytotherapy is a treatment entirely based on scientific plants and is applied by doctors specialized in this field. Using herbal remedies based on hearsay for infertility treatment may cause greater health problems in your body.

The use of plants for treatment should only be under expert supervision. The effects of phytotherapy include:

• Balancing hormone levels
• Improving the function of testes in men and ovaries in women
• Enhancing sperm count, morphology, and motility
• Supporting the development of quality and mature eggs
• Regulating menstrual cycles through phytotherapy

In serious health issues such as infertility, alongside medical treatments, the impact of complementary treatment methods and modern medicine has been scientifically demonstrated. It has been noted that benefiting from medicinal plants in addition to medical treatments increases the success rate in infertility.

Besides classic medical treatment methods, phytotherapy, a complementary treatment method whose use is increasing every day, is being used more and more. Among total infertility cases, phytotherapy has produced successful results especially in the 20% of cases where the cause is unknown, as well as in many patient groups where results were not achieved with medical treatments despite knowing the cause.
