Solve Your Sexual Health Related Issues By Changing Your Diet.


Good Day, Everyone.

I'm HealthWealthy,


Today's topic is on MALE INFERTILITY.


I noticed a lot of our nairaland sisters in the health and family sections are trying to conceive and it's very important for us to know some of the factors that could contribute to delays or hinder conception attempts. It is very important for a woman to get her husband involved when trying to conceive or treating infertility issues.

Going about it solo is not the correct approach since the infertility problem could be the man's and not necessarily the woman's.


Also, I have received questions about if changing one's diet can help improve male fertility, hence, if there are foods that help increase male sperm count.

According to [url]umm.edu[/url] infertility is the failure of a couple to become pregnant after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse. About a third of infertility problems are due to female infertility, and another third are due to male infertility. In the remaining cases, infertility affects both partners or the cause is unclear.

CAUSES OF MALE INFERTILITY

More than 90% of male infertility cases are due to low sperm counts, poor sperm quality, or both. The remaining cases of male infertility can be caused by a range of conditions including anatomical problems, hormonal imbalances, and genetic defects.


SPERM ABNORMALITIES

Sperm abnormalities are a critical factor in male infertility. These abnormalities include:
Low sperm count
Poor sperm motility (movement)
Abnormal sperm shape
Risk Factors

RISK FACTORS FOR MALE INFERTILITY INCLUDE:


1) Varicocele, an enlarged varicose vein in the spermatic cord that connects to the testicle.

2) Aging, which can reduce sperm counts and motility and decrease the genetic quality of sperm.

3) Sexually transmitted diseases, which can cause scarring in the male reproductive system or impair sperm function.

4) Lifestyle factors such as smoking and substance abuse.

5) Long-term or intensive exposure to certain types of chemicals, toxins, or medications
Diagnosis

In addition to a medical history and physical exam, specific tests for male infertility include:

1) Semen analysis to evaluate the quantity and quality of sperm.

2) Blood tests to evaluate hormone levels
Imaging tests to look for structural problems.

3) Genetic testing to identify sperm DNA fragmentation, chromosomal defects, or genetic diseases.

TREATMENT

Treatment for male infertility should first address any underlying medical conditions that may be contributing to fertility problems. Drug therapy may be used to treat hormonal disorders. Surgery may be used to repair varicoceles and correct any obstructions in the reproductive tract.

If fertility issues remain unresolved, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is commonly used in combination with in vitro fertilization (IVF) to achieve pregnancy when male infertility is a factor. ICSI involves injecting a single sperm into an egg obtained through IVF. The fertilized egg is then implanted back into the woman. Pregnancy success rates depend on many different factors.

If you would love to change your diet so as to address this issue, I have a meal plan (no boring articles whatsoever. All boring articles will be written on nairaland. Lol)

The price to pay for the meal plans are as follows:
- Discipline
- Dedication
- Patience
- ₦ 3,000

If you're interested, email me privately at healthywealthy853@gmail.com
It'll come with a meal plan on child obesity too (because I'm cocksure you're going to have a changed situation).

ALL TESTIMONIES, QUESTIONS, SHOULD BE ASKED/POSTED HERE ON THIS THREAD.

MORE ARTICLES WILL BE POSTED HERE SOON..

ADVANTAGES OF THIS DIET

Hello Nairalanders,

As you all know, changing your diet is a very good decision, which if done well will improve a person's health tremendously. It's has been proven to lower high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar.

It's also used in treating pediatric epileptic seizures, Polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS), type 2 diabetes, infertility problems, and hormonal imbalance.

The diet starves cancer cells of their food which is glucose and has been used in combination with other treatments to treat metastatic bone cancer. Many people have also reported that the diet has helped reduce the size of their fibroid tumor.

This diet is great in improving the condition of alzheimer patients and much more.
It is highly recommended to change your Diet correctly because eating high fat and high carbohydrate meals causes rise in insulin and fat storage. It can also bring about the health problems this diet tries to solve. These are problems associated with a high carbohydrate diet.

The diet I'll be giving you when you purchase is a low carb, moderate protein and healthy high fat diet.

Below are additional benefits and things a person will observe when they start the diet.
It's also recommended that anyone starting the diet, visits their doctor and check their lipid profile so that they can compare the before and after results and ensure that they use the right oils (will be included in the meal plan) in order to avoid the risk of heart disease.


1) Reduced appetite and sugar gravings: The fat we eat causes us to feel full and our taste buds no longer desire sweets. Many people on the diet have reported going almost an entire day without feeling hungry after having this meal plan.


2) Lower blood pressure: It's important to check periodically with your doctor once you start the diet. The diet has been proven to lower blood pressure and if you suffer from high blood pressure and on medication, check with your doctor and talk about reduction of blood pressure medication or discontinue from it once you start observing changes.


3) Reduced cholesterol: Cholesterol is made from excess glucose in the diet. As you eat less sugar creating foods, you do less damage to your arterial system and inflammation drops. Your cholesterol will drop as your body has less glucose from which to make it, and less need for repairing the damages of inflammatory chemicals.

Increase in HDL Cholesterol (the more saturated fat you eat, the higher it will go.) This is actually a good thing, because it improves the ratio of HDL/LDL. Higher HDL levels (above 39 mg/dL) indicate a healthier heart.


4) A drop in triglycerides: carbohydrate consumption is closely tied to triglyceride levels, and one of most well known diet benefits. The less carbohydrate you eat, the lower your triglycerides readings will go. The ratio of triglycerides to HDL (expressed Triglyceride/HDL) is the best predictor of heart attack risk and is one of blood test results to which you should really pay attention. The closer this ratio is to 1:1, the healthier you are.


5) Drop in fasting blood sugar and fasting insulin levels: less sugar coming in, less sugar driving up blood sugar and insulin levels. Your levels of C Reactive Protein (CRP) and HbA1c proteins will decrease. These are both markers of inflammation and heart disease risk.


6) Increased Energy: The diet is excellent at increasing energy. You will notice a burst of energy once you switch fuel sources from glucose to ketones.


7) Decrease in stiffness and joint pain. This is one of the best side effects of following the diet plan. The diet eliminates grain based foods from your diet. Grain foods have been reported to cause stiffness and joint pain.


Clearer thinking. The "fogginess" that accompanies a high carb diet will disappear. The brain is made up of mostly fat and has been reported to run better on ketones than glucose.


9) Weight loss: The diet has been proven to help a person lose weight and sticking to the diet plan can be very effective for normalizing your weight. However, if you have very high fasting insulin (and high insulin resistance) you may need to add a high intensity exercise program.


10) Heartburn relief: if you suffer from GERD or other heartburn issues, the symptoms should lessen with the diet.


11) Gum disease and tooth decay: Sugar changes the pH of your mouth and contributes to tooth decay. Three months into this diet, any gum disease you might have will decrease or disappear.


12) Digestion and gut health get better. You will see a decrease in stomach pain, bloating, gas etc. These are all associated with grain and sugar consumption.


13) Mood stabilization. Ketone bodies have been shown to be beneficial in stabilizing neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine which result in better mood control.

Only WEED can do this.

Good morning everyone, was busy crafting some posts for some hours now.

Today's discussion is on Fibroid!

One of the most common question we get daily is the question that has been highlighted in the box. A lot of women suffer from fibroid and this has slowed them down in achieving pregnancy. Hormonal imbalance, poor diet, hereditary and obesity have been implicated as a risk factor for fibroid.

As you know by now, this diet balances hormones and restores them to normal. The diet, amongst other health benefits, also helps us to lose weight efficiently and controls insulin production which stabilizes blood sugar and stores fat as well.

Therefore, if this diet helps to solve some of the problems related to fibroid, do you think a woman with fibroid can benefit from the diet?

Read the article below and join the conversation. I want to hear from you.


WHAT CAUSES FIBROIDS?


Anywhere from 20-40% of women over the age of 35 may be affected by uterine fibroids, noncancerous tumors that grow on or in the muscle wall of the uterus. With so many women affected, will you be one of them?
Although there is no definite cause for uterine fibroids, there are some factors that may increase the risk.

HORMONES

Fibroid growth is largely attributed to the levels of estrogen and progesterone being produced in the body. Estrogen makes the tumors grow and the fibroids themselves contain more hormone receptors than normal uterine muscle.

For this reason, fibroids usually stop growing and shrink once the body reaches menopause and stops producing as much estrogen. In the same way, fibroids often grow faster during the first trimester of pregnancy and then shrink after the birth.


GENETICS

If fibroids run in your family, evidence has shown that you may be more likely to get them yourself. Fibroids have changes in their genetic makeup that are not found in the other muscle in the lining of the uterus, and these changes may be passed down through family members.


OTHER FACTORS
There are a few minor factors that may influence the prevalence and growth of fibroids. Other substances in the body could affect fibroid-growth, such as those that help maintain tissues including insulin-like growth factor. Diet and obesity may also be linked to fibroid growth. Very heavy women can be two or three times more likely to be affected by fibroids, and a poor diet can be detrimental as well. Eating dark, leafy greens can help lower the risk.

Good afternoon nairalanders!

Today's discussion is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

This meal plan helps to balance hormones and regulates menstrual cycle amongst many other things. A lot of women in Nigeria who suffer from Polycystic Ovarian syndrome use this meal plan as a treatment option.

In addition, many Nigerian women with PCOS have other concurrent health problems, such as diabetes, hypertension (high b.p) , and high cholesterol. These are linked to the weight gain typical in Nigerian PCOS patients.

This change of diet I've preaching for so long has been proven to help reduce overweight issues, reverse diabetes, balance hormones, treat infertility issues, reverse high cholesterol, shrink cancerous tumors, treat epileptic seizures in children and much more.

Do you know anyone suffering from PCOS in Nigeria? Has Irregular periods? Overweight? Diabetic? High cholesterol? You can help them by inviting them to this thread.

At least let them try something new to improve their situation.... Read more below to know more about PCOS.

What is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)?

Polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS, is a condition in which a woman’s levels of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone are out of balance. This leads to the growth of ovarian cysts (benign masses on the ovaries).

PCOS can cause problems with a women’s menstrual cycle, fertility, cardiac function, and appearance.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, between 1 in 10 and 1 in 20 women of childbearing age suffers from PCOS. The condition currently affects up to 5 million women in the United States.

What causes PCOS in Nigerian women?

While the exact cause of PCOS is unknown, doctors believe that hormonal imbalances and genetics play a role. Women are more likely to develop PCOS if their mother or sister also has the condition.

Overproduction of the hormone androgen may be another contributing factor. Androgen is a male sex hormone that women’s bodies also produce. Women with PCOS often produce higher-than-nor
mal levels of androgen.

This can affect the development and release of eggs during ovulation. Excess insulin (a hormone that helps convert sugars and starches into energy) may cause high androgen levels.

Symptoms

Symptoms of PCOS typically start soon after a woman begins to menstruate. The type and severity of symptoms varies from person to person. The most common characteristic of PCOS is irregular menstrual periods.

Because PCOS is marked by a decrease in female sex hormones, this condition may cause women to develop certain male characteristics, such as:

excess hair on the face, chest, stomach, thumbs, or toes
decrease in breast size
deeper voice
thin hair
Other symptoms include:
acne
weight gain
pelvic pain
anxiety or depression
infertility

While not symptoms of the disease, many women with PCOS have other concurrent health problems, such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol. These are linked to the weight gain typical in PCOS patients.

Diagnosis

There is no definitive test for PCOS. To make a diagnosis, your doctor will review your medical history and symptoms and perform tests to rule out other possible conditions. Your doctor will perform a physical and pelvic examination to look for signs of PCOS, such as swollen ovaries or a swollen clitoris.

Blood tests to measure hormone levels are typically ordered, as well as:
thyroid function tests to determine how much of the thyroid hormone your body produces
fasting glucose tests to measure your blood sugar levels
lipid level tests to assess the amount of cholesterol in your blood.

A vaginal ultrasound allows your gynecologist to create real time images of your reproductive organs. A pelvic laparoscopy is a surgical procedure in which your doctor makes a small incision in your abdomen and inserts a tiny camera to check for growths on your ovaries. If growths are present, your doctor may take a small tissue sample (biopsy) for further examination.

Treatment

Treatment for PCOS is not curative. Treatment focuses on controlling symptoms and managing the condition to prevent complications. The treatment will vary from woman to woman, depending on specific symptoms.

A healthy diet and regular exercise is recommended for all women with PCOS, particularly those who are overweight. This can help to regulate your menstrual cycle and lower your blood glucose levels.

Women who don’t want to become pregnant may be prescribed birth control pills. These can help treat acne, regulate the menstrual cycle, and lower levels of male hormones, such as testosterone, in the body. If a woman with PCOS is suffering from infertility, fertility drugs may be administered to aid in ovulation.

Anti-androgens are drugs that reduce male hormone levels. These can help stop excess hair growth and reduce acne. Diabetes medications may also be prescribed to lower blood glucose and testosterone levels.

Surgery may be recommended for some women with PCOS. Ovarian drilling is a procedure in which your doctor punctures your ovary with a small needle that carries an electric current, in order to destroy part of the ovary. This is a short-term solution that can promote ovulation and reduce male hormone levels.

What are the potential complications of PCOS?

Women with PCOS have a higher risk of developing:
hypertension (high blood pressure)
high cholesterol
anxiety and depression
sleep apnea (when a person stops breathing periodically during sleep)
endometrial cancer (cancer caused by thickening of the lining of the uterus)
heart attack
diabetes
breast cancer


If you become pregnant, your doctor may refer you to a doctor who specializes in high-risk pregnancies. Women with PCOS have a higher rate of miscarriage, gestational diabetes, and premature delivery. They may need extra monitoring during pregnancy.


The earlier your PCOS is diagnosed and treated, the lower your risk of developing these complications. Avoiding tobacco products and participating in regular exercise can also reduce your risk of some of these comorbidities. Talk with your doctor about what PCOS means for your overall health and how you can prevent serious complications.

These herbs have long term side effects and expensive to treat when it happens.

Moreover the way Nigerians charge for selling this herbs is inhumane. That's why I've come up with a better cheap idea.
