Infertility

Infertility may be caused by different factors. There may be hormone imbalance, adrenal and thyroid dysfunction, heavy metal burden, or nutritional deficiency. There may also be a structural defect that affects the release of an egg into the fallopian tube or the uterus. Also, the environment of the cervix may not be suitable for receiving sperm, or the sperm count and quality may not be ideal due to environmental toxins.
