Sperm are produced in the seminiferous tubules in the testes, which are also responsible for the production of testosterone, a male sex hormone, essential for male sexual functioning and fertility, amongst other things. The process of sperm production, from the formation of germ cells, to fully mature sperm cells, takes about 70 days. When sperm development is complete, sperm are released from the seminiferous tubules and travel to the epididymis, where they become more mature and mobile. Sperm are stored in the epididymis until ejaculation, when contractions push a small amount of sperm into the vas deferens, through the prostate gland and into the urethra. As the sperm travels down the reproductive tract, fluid is added by the prostate gland and seminal vesicles to produce semen. More than 90% of the ejaculatory fluid is produced by the prostate gland and seminal vesicles, which is why men who have had a vasectomy can still ejaculate normally. In order for a man to be fertile, he needs to produce mature, healthy and mobile sperm in sufficient quantities to ensure the fertilization of the female egg. The ability to achieve and sustain an erection for long enough to ejaculate and deposit the sperm in the female reproductive tract is also important for natural conception. Although there may be many causes of male infertility (genetic causes, infection, heat, tobacco, drug and alcohol abuse, sperm antibodies, inadequate testosterone production, poor nutrition, stress, scarring of the reproductive tract, some prescription drugs, pesticides and other chemicals and even hormones in meat and the food chain), no specific cause can be found in approximately 40% of men with fertility problems. This is called ideopathic infertility. How can herbal fertility tonics help? Herbs have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to increase fertility and to treat conditions which prevented couples from conceiving. There is therefore a large body of traditional evidence to support the effectiveness of certain herbs in treating infertility and promoting successful conception and pregnancy. In recent times, many of these herbs have been subject to research trials and their effectiveness has been clinically supported. How do the herbs in Fertile XX and Fertile XY work to help couples who are struggling to get pregnant? No medicine, including herbal medicine, can help if there are structural problems that affect infertility or when infertility is due to serious genetic problems. It is therefore important to consult your doctor in order to find out what is preventing pregnancy. This will ensure that you receive the correct treatment. Where there are no structural or genetic causes of infertility, Fertile XX and Fertile XY can help to improve fertility and ensure that the male and female reproductive systems are in peak health in order to increase the chances of conceiving a baby. Some of the herbs can also correct hormone imbalances and increase sperm and testosterone production, as well as regulate the process of ovulation, promoting the production of healthy eggs. For those couples who are eager to conceive, using Fertile XX and Fertile XY will optimize reproductive health and promote easy and healthy conception. If you are struggling to conceive, Fertile XX and Fertile XY will help treat the problems that are making it difficult to get pregnant, ensuring that all systems in the reproductive process are operating normally and therefore increasing the chances of conception.
