Over the past twenty years, fertility problems have increased dramatically. At least 25 percent of couples planning a baby will have trouble conceiving so they are more frequently turning to fertility treatments to help them.What causes infertility? The medical profession will list the following factors and proportions.Problem percentage of casesOvulatory failure (including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) 20% Tubal damage 15% Endometriosis   5%Male problems 26%Unexplained 30% If the figures don't add up, it's because many couples experience more than one problem when trying to conceive. For example, you may suffer from endometriosis, but your partner may also have a low sperm count.Interestingly, the most common cause of infertility is 'unexplained', which means that following thorough investigations, doctors can find no specific or identifiable medical problem. However, there has got to be an underlying cause, so this is where  a natural approach can come into play. The answer is to look deeper - at lifestyle factors, nutritional deficiencies and even emotions.
