Homeopathic Treatment for Male Infertility

A Holistic Approach

Introduction

Male infertility is a distressing condition that affects a significant number of couples worldwide. It occurs when a man is unable to impregnate a woman due to various factors such as low sperm count, abnormal sperm function, or blockages preventing sperm delivery. Conventional treatments often come with risks and side effects. However, homeopathy offers a safe and effective alternative by addressing the root cause without adverse effects.

Prostate gland and its homeopathic treatment
Dr. Sayeed Ahmad D. I. Hom. (London)

Prostate Gland, chestnut-shaped male organ located next to the bladder and surrounding the urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the penis). The prostate gland produces a secretion known as prostate fluid that makes up most of the liquid part of semen, which is discharged from the penis during sexual orgasm. Measuring about 3 cm (about 1.2 in) across, the prostate gland is composed of both glandular tissue that produces prostate fluid and muscle tissue that helps in male ejaculation. Prostate fluid also helps to keep sperm, which is found in semen, healthy and lively, thereby increasing the chances that fertilization will occur.

There are a variety of prostate disorders that commonly afflict men of all ages. The most common prostate disease is benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a noncancerous condition of unknown cause. It occurs in approximately 70 to 80 percent of men as they reach their 70s and 80s. In BPH, the prostate gland can increase in size from 20 g (0.71 oz), which is the average size of the prostate in younger men, to as large as 150 g (5.31 oz). As the prostate grows, it constricts the urethra, possibly causing a partial obstruction of the bladder. Such obstruction may lead to bladder wall thickening and urination problems. Symptoms such as frequent urination, nighttime urination, a feeling of urgency to urinate, difficulty emptying the bladder, and a weak urinary stream are the most common problems men encounter from prostate enlargement.

There are several treatment options for BPH, including medications that either shrink the prostate gland or relax the smooth muscle in the prostate gland to alleviate the obstruction of the bladder. The standard surgical procedure for removing the enlarged tissue in the prostate is called transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). During this procedure, the surgeon uses an endoscope, a tube equipped with a small television camera and a sharp instrument, to cut away the excess prostate tissue.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in elderly men and the second most common cause of cancer-related death in men. Prostate cancer causes few if any symptoms in its early stages, but as it progresses it can lead to difficulties with urination and bleeding in the urinary tract, and the cancer can spread to other areas of the body. Prostate cancer may be detected by digital rectal examination. Testing for abnormally high blood levels of the protein known as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is also used to diagnose the disease. Prostate cancer is treated using hormones, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or surgical procedures.

Prostatitis is an inflammatory condition of the prostate that is most common in men ages 20 to 50. There are two broad classes of prostatitis: nonbacterial and bacterial. Nonbacterial prostatitis is the most common form of prostatic inflammation. It causes pelvic pain, problems with urination, discomfort after ejaculation, and lower back pain. The cause of nonbacterial prostatitis remains unclear but possible sources include viruses, prostate muscle spasm, backflow of urine through prostate ducts, and psychological disturbances. Recent evidence suggests that nonbacterial prostatitis may be caused by bacteria that are present in the middle of a prostate but cannot be detected by conventional diagnostic techniques.

Patients with nonbacterial prostatitis are treated with medications ranging from antibiotics to antispasmodics; less often, medications that relax the muscle in the prostate gland are administered. The success of such treatments varies widely, and in many cases men must live with the symptoms of prostatitis.

In bacterial prostatitis, which may be sexually transmitted, a bacterial infection in the prostate gland leads to infection, swelling, pain, and difficulty in urinating; the penis may release bacterial fluid, and blood may appear in the urine. In some cases bacterial prostatitis can cause a severe infection throughout the body, producing a dangerously high fever. Bacterial prostatitis is treated with antibiotics but sometimes all the infection cannot be eliminated from the prostate gland, and some men develop a chronically infected prostate.

HOMŒOPATHIC TREATMENT

Apis mellifica: Stinging pain during urination that is worse when the final drops are passing is a strong indication for this remedy. Discomfort may also involve the bladder. The prostate area is swollen and very sensitive to touch. The person may feel worse from heat and from being in warm rooms, with improvement from being out in open air or from cool bathing.

Causticum: Urine loss when the person coughs or sneezes often indicates a need for this remedy. Once urine has started passing, the person may feel pressure or pulsation extending from the prostate to the bladder. Causticum is also indicated when sexual pleasure during orgasm is absent or diminished.

Chimaphilla umbellata: This remedy is often helpful when the prostate is enlarged, with urine retention and frequent urging. The person may have the feeling that a ball is lodged in the pelvic floor, or experience pressure, swelling, and soreness that are worse when sitting down.

Clematis: This remedy is often indicated when swelling of the prostate seems to have narrowed or tightened the urinary passage. Urine usually emerges slowly, in drops instead of a stream, with dribbling afterward.

Lycopodium: This remedy may be helpful if urine is slow to emerge, with pressure felt in the prostate both during and after urination. The prostate is enlarged, and impotence may also be a problem. People who need this remedy often suffer from digestive problems with gas and bloating, and have an energy slump in the late afternoon.

Pulsatilla: Prostate problems with discomfort after urination and pains that extend to the pelvis or into the bladder (often worse when the man is lying on his back) suggest a need for this remedy. There may also be a bland, thick, yellow discharge from the penis. Pulsatilla is usually suited to emotional individuals who want a lot of affection and feel best in open air.

Sabal serrulata: A frequent urge to urinate at night, with difficulty passing urine, and a feeling of coldness in the sexual organs, suggest a need for this remedy. It is sometimes also used in lower potencies for urinary incontinence in older men. This remedy is made from saw palmetto which is also used as an herbal extract for similar prostate problems.

Staphysagria: This remedy may be indicated if a man feels burning pain in his urinary passage even when urine is not flowing, and urine retention is troublesome. Men who are likely to respond to Staphysagria are often sentimental and romantic, and may also have problems with impotence (most often caused by shyness).

Thuja: When the prostate is enlarged, and the person has a frequent urge to urinate, with cutting or burning pain felt near the bladder neck, this remedy may bring relief. After urine passes, a dribbling sensation may be felt. A forked or divided urine stream is sometimes seen when this remedy is needed.

Sterility in female and male

Sterility in female and male
Dr. Sayeed Ahmad D. I. Hom. (London)
sayeed_ahmad1@rediffmail.com

Several lacs of females and males are suffering from STERILITY in India and all over the world. There is a general understanding that perhaps homœopathy has nothing to offer on this subject. As a fact of the matter, homœopathy can greatly assist to those couples who are not blessed with a child in spite of their ardent desire and efforts due to sterility either on the part of the female or the male. Homœopathy can change their life to happiness by begetting children in their homes as well as fertile and healthy life. However, on the other hand, treating sterility homœopathically is the most safest and effective in the hands of qualified classical homœopathic practitioners.

STERILITY means difficult or no conception and in other word it is inability on the part of the female or the male partner to produce any offspring.

Formerly and even now the ignorant society or the relations attributed the non-birth of children to the sterility in the female and ignored the husband altogether. It should be noted that in man sterility and impotence are two different terms. Impotence means inability to sexually gratify a woman and sterility means inability to impregnate her. An impotent can be sterile. For conception, only the discharge of semen with living sperms is required. It does not matter whether the erection is strong or the retentive power is long or the female is duly satisfied. The sterility on the part of the male is the absence of living sperms in the semen. Either they are not present at all or are dead. In such a case a man cannot produce however virile he may be. Gonorrhœa and Syphilis are the common and unquestionable causes of depriving the semen of spermatozoa.

Thus the first step to be taken is to get the semen tested before the cause is assigned to the sterility of the wife. If the semen is found lacking in sperms, a well qualified homœopathic practitioner can assist in producing them in plenty. However, if the semen is found quite normal then the cause should be treated out in the female.

CAUSES OF STERILITY IN FEMALES :

• Sometimes the cause is the presence of acidic secretions specially lactic acid in the vagina and soon as the semen is discharged all the sperms are killed as they cannot live in acid. But the acidity is only detrimental to pregnancy when the male organ is too small to ejaculate the semen direct into the uterus.
• In individual females the depth of the vaginal cavity varies. In every female the depth is equal to the length of her finger. Thus, female possessing a long middle finger requires a long organ and vice versa. A male organ a little (1 or 2 inches) longer than her middle finger is quite sufficient for her individual purpose.
• Having intercourse when both the partners are not willing.
• The correct posture of intercourse is also imperative. Thus, female should lie flat on the back with the man upon her with his face downwards. Her legs should be intercross each other over the man. This posture brings the uterus a little forward and it increases the possibility of impregnation.
• Intercourse should take place 3 hours after meals. Intercourse should not be taken place just after meals or taking plenty of water.
• It is also injurious when one (female or male) is extremely hungry or thirsty.
• Sexual meeting should never be arranged during menses.
• Place of sexual meeting should be free from interruption and it should be peaceful and comfortable. One should not have any fear of some ones intrusion or arrival during the act of intercourse.
• Diet which is sour or rich in acids should be given up.
• Leucorrhœa, painful and scanty menses, amenorrhœa, excessive menstrual flow are also responsible for sterility.
• Sometimes sterility is due to failure of the ovaries to yield the ova. Conception is only possible when sperm comes in contact with the ovum of the same side.
• Female’s right and left ovaries produce one ovum every month. One month there is the right ovum and the other month the left. The left sperm and right ovum, and the right sperm and the left ovum cannot unite. Thus pregnancy does not take place.
• It should be found out if she is FRIGID or if there is any abnormality in menses. It is also imperative to find her sexual feelings.
• When there is a fault in ovaries, menses are scanty and there is pain in the breast.
• New growths – fibroids and cancer, etc.
• Sterility is also caused if there is any tumour in uterus or ovary.
• Discharge of mucus from vagina after an embrace in female and sterility as a result thereof.
• Prolapsus of uterus. Uterine displacement.
• Hypertrophy of the cervix.
• Too frequent intercourse.
• Irregularity of menses.
• Dysmenorrhœa.
• Constipation.
• Inflammation of vagina due to leucorrhœa.
• Dwindling of breast and ovaries.
• Excessive and premature menses.
• Hard work (less of sexual passion).
• Sterility in female with excessive sexual desire.
• Mental worries, grief and hiding of her sorrows.
• Constitutional cause.
• Sometimes sterility is due to the weakness of the uterus which is incapable of holding the fœtus. This weakness of the uterus is also the common cause of abortion.
• For having children, remember to have intercourse on the last day of the menstrual period or on the third, fifth or seventh day after the period has ceased.
• Chronic diseases.
• Other causes of sterility may be diabetes, ulceration of the os uteri, fibroid tumours and enlargement of the uterus.
• Hysteria.
• Debilitating diseases like anæmia, tuberculosis, causing amenorrhœa and scanty menses.
• Endocrinal deficiencies. Obesity due to defective thyroid secretion.
• Incompatibility between husband and wife.
• Absence of any essential part of the genitalia i. e. removal of uterus, tubes or ovaries.
• Atresia of cervix and rudimentary uterus.
• Imperforate hymen.
• Malformation or destruction of tubes – due to inflammatory condition like gonorrheal salpingits, appendicitis, etc. (If the lining membrane of the tube is affected, the sterility would be absolute).
• Partial stenosis of the tubes. It is associated with imperfectly developed uterus (almost an incurable condition).

RUBIN’S TEST is performed to see whether the tube is potent or not, blocked or permeable. Another way of test of the potency and permeability of the tubes is by introduction of a dye (lipoidol), injected into the uterus ; a subsequent X-ray will show not only that the tubes are blocked or not, but also the sites where they are blocked.
• Inflammatory conditions : such as endometritis, endocervicitis.
• Cystic ovaries or destroyed as well, due to tumours, etc.
• Vaginismus.
• Trauma to the parts.

CAUSES OF STERILITY IN MALE :

• Impotency of long standing.
• Short and curved penis.
• Undescended or atrophied testes.
• Defective seminal discharges : no sperms or undeveloped sperms or a few sperm non-motile sperms ; this may be due to some previous or present disease of the testes, like mumps, tuberculosis, gonorrhœa, syphilis, etc.
• Sexual neurasthenia.
• It should be found out if he is having habits of masturbation or suffering from night-falls, spermatorrhœa, impotence or any venereal diseases.
• Loss of sexual powers with lascivious fancies.
• Semen thin and odourless.
• On attempting coition, penis relaxes.
• Involuntary emissions, discharge too quick, spasms during coition, effects of masturbation, disposition to handle organs.
