Unexplained Infertility

In the interview with Julie Menin for her Give and Take program, Dr. David says most fertility problems can be explained, and often the explanation – and the fix – is very simple and does not require more complicated measures such as IVF. “I don’t believe in unexplained infertility,” says David.

Some of the most common possible reasons for infertility:

· the woman runs or exercises too much

· the man takes tub baths or Jacuzzi

· infections in the man

· mild and therefore undetected infections in the woman

· sperm antibodies, in which the man could be allergic to his own sperm or the woman could be allergic to sperm

· underweight and overweight women

· environmental issues such as hormones in red meat, pesticides, chemicals in makeup; any of these might have an effect, and often more profoundly on men’s sperm

Dr. David says it’s up to a woman’s doctor to play medical detective to determine what’s wrong. “You really have to delve into it in great detail,” he says.
