Natural Therapies for conception?

Question

I would like to try some natural therapies such as vitamin supplements or herbal tonics to assist with conception. What would people recommend?

Answer 1

I too am ttc and have been doing some research. There are some simple things that I have read about such as taking a prenatal vitamin with folic acid... drinking plenty of water...Vitamin E and B6 (50mg/day) and drinking tea (green tea or orange pekoe for the antioxidants) Other things I have heard are taking a baby aspirin (increases blood flow) or cough medicine with guaifinisin (thins vaginal mucus) as well as progesterone cream. I have also heard that a product called pre seed intimate moisturizer works wonders. Hopefully some of this will help, i know theere is a TON of info out there to sift through and it tends to get confusing and overwhelming. Good luck!

Answer 2

Clearly he went to a doctor to be diagnosed, so hopefully he will follow the treatment suggestions he will have received. Prostate cancer is typically slow growing. Until it metastasizes, it causes unpleasant symptoms, but nothing life-threatening. Left untreated, he could still live for many years. Once the cancer cells break apart and travel to other organs in the body, he is likely to die quickly. There are no 'natural' cures for this disease, though there are some foods and supplements that can help with the symptoms. Even with treatment, a full cure is not guaranteed. Complete resection (removal) of the prostate will damage the nerves that allow him to have an erection, and some men prefer not to have this done. Cryo (freezing) is a newer option that has less risk of damaging these nerves; microwave (heating) can also be used as a treatment.
