Despite infertility affecting both men and women, fertility is often considered a women’s issue. About 9 percent of men and about 11 percent of women of reproductive age in the United States have experienced fertility problems, according to the National Institutes of Health. The good news: There are ways to boost fertility. The problem is that they’re not regularly discussed. The topic of infertility is often stigmatized, which can impact a woman’s anxiety levels and mental health. This stigma exacerbates the problem by creating chronic stress itself a leading cause of infertility.
Talking more openly about fertility issues as a society can help lessen this stigma and the chronic stress it creates. But on an individual level, boosting fertility should involve a whole-body approach that incorporates an understanding of the menstrual cycle and Ayurvedic practices.
