Infertility means the inability to have children. In medical terms, it means failure to have children despite a year of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. It can occur in both men and women and can be caused by a number of factors, such as hormonal imbalances, genetic disorders, lifestyle habits (e.g. smoking, obesity) or anatomical problems.

Most commonly, reduced sperm count or sperm quality in men and ovulatory disorders and fallopian tube blockage in women can be the immediate causes. However, there are often deeper, even psychological, factors behind these.

How can infertility be treated?

Ayurvedic infertility treatment takes a holistic approach that focuses on restoring balance to the body, mind and spirit. At the heart of the treatment is a panchakarma cleansing therapy that helps remove toxins from the body and improves the functioning of the reproductive organs. Herbal preparations help to promote hormonal balance and regulation of the ovulatory cycle, while for men they improve sperm quality and quantity.

In addition, Ayurveda emphasises lifestyle changes, including stress management, healthy eating and proper exercise. To restore mental balance and reduce stress, yoga and meditation are recommended, as stress is known to reduce the chances of conception. Ayurvedic treatments aim to harmonise the body and restore fertility naturally.

Infertility treatment also helps to restore mental balance, as inner harmony, mental wellbeing and a balanced relationship are all important for the couple to be emotionally and physically close.

In our clinic, it is often the case that couples who were previously considered unfit to conceive can also conceive after treatment.

Low libido means reduced sexual desire, which can occur in both men and women. It can often lead to emotional and relationship problems, as intimacy between partners and sex life suffer from a lack of desire. Hormonal imbalances such as low testosterone, stress, fatigue or health problems such as depression and anxiety may be behind the loss of libido.

Loss of libido can also be accompanied by physical symptoms such as fatigue, sleep problems or hormonal problems. Psychological factors such as relationship difficulties, lack of self-confidence or negative body image may also play a role. Depending on the cause, low libido can be treated with lifestyle changes, hormonal therapy or psychological support.

The female menopause is the period when menstruation stops for good and a woman is no longer able to get pregnant naturally. This is a natural part of ageing and usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although it can happen earlier or later.

The female menopause usually occurs in several phases - even the months and years before menopause are a period of continuous transition. Menopause is the state when you have not had a period for 12 months, marking the permanent cessation of the cycle.

The main symptoms of female menopause:

○ menstrual changes, irregularity in the cycle,
○ sudden hot flashes, night sweats,
○ increased irritability, sensitivity,
○ sleep disturbances and mood swings,
○ low libido,
○ vaginal dryness,
○ osteoporosis,
○ weight gain, changes in metabolic processes.

Male menopause usually occurs between the ages of 50 and 60, and is mainly associated with a drop in testosterone levels. The prostate gland slows down over time, which also leads to a decrease in the male sex hormone testosterone. Thus, male menopause is often associated with a decrease in testosterone and prostate problems.

The symptoms of male menopause can be similar to those of female menopause: hot flashes, changes in temperature, sweating for no reason, increased heart rate, and a drop in blood pressure. In addition, it is characterised by low libido. As with age and life situation, it may be accompanied by midlife panic, which can compromise daily mental well-being.

Testosterone is the main sex hormone in the male body that „ensures virility.” It peaks in men between the ages of 18 and 30 and then gradually declines. Low levels of testosterone can lead to erectile dysfunction, in severe cases infertility, and erectile dysfunction can also prevent intercourse. The risk of erectile dysfunction increases with age and is observed in 70% of men aged 60 years and over.

Candida infection is a fungal infection of the vagina caused by yeasts, most commonly Candida albicans. The fungi are naturally present in different parts of the body, on the skin, in the mouth, in the intestinal tract and in the vagina. However, their overgrowth causes infections that result in unpleasant symptoms. In women, this can lead to vaginal infections and symptoms that make everyday life difficult.

Causes of Candida infection

There are several possible causes behind a Candida infection:

○ Weak immune system, which causes the fungi to overgrow in the body.

○ Hormonal changes - pregnancy, contraceptives or natural hormonal changes in the body that upset the hormonal balance.

○ Uncontrolled diabetes.

○ Chronic stress, which upsets the gut flora and weakens the immune system.

○ Unhealthy diet high in carbohydrates and sugar. Sugar is the primary medium for fungi, creating extremely favourable conditions for infection.

What are the symptoms of Candida infection?

Candida infections can be accompanied by itching, swelling, redness of the skin, white discharge from the vagina, pain or discomfort during urination. Common symptoms include digestive problems, chronic fatigue and cravings for sweets.

How can Candida infection be cured?

Candida infection can be treated at the Calendula Clinic with a healing diet, detoxification and cleansing procedures to restore the gut and vaginal flora, and antifungal herbal supplements. The treatment programme aims to restore not only physical but also mental well-being, which will also strengthen the immune system. The programme is tailored to the individual depending on the extent of the infection and the patient's health condition.
