Located inside pelvic, pear-shaped, normal size is approximately 3 inches. This is where the fetus develops during gestation. Uterus can expand as much as the fetal growth would be. Then shrink back to the normal size after delivery.
Uterus is consisting of 3 parts:
Body and Fundus
Cervix
Uterine Tube
A hysterectomy is an operation to remove some parts or the entire uterus except uterine tube (which is including ovaries and fallopian tubes). Woman who had a total hysterectomy (the whole uterus has been removed) does not have menstruation and she is unable to be pregnant later on. While sex hormones are still working as long as the ovaries are performing regularly.
In case patients need to have children, surrogacy will be the solution. Since the ovaries are still producing eggs then these eggs can create fertilization consequently. And leave embryo growing up inside surrogate mother’s uterus afterwards. A legal surrogacy can be done if it is in accordance with the regulations specified by law.
Some patients who also lost their ovaries from hysterectomy because of medical indications no longer have sex hormones. Like women in menopause stage.
Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility
Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk ofinfertility
Frequent parties and hangovers can directly and indirectly affect your health, especially for those who are already planning to have children. This makes it even more difficult to have children!
Because frequent and large amounts of alcoholic beverages cause the hormones in the body to function abnormally.
What are the effects of drinking alcohol and hangovers?
In men >Abnormal testosterone production results in the body producing less sperm, poor quality sperm, and reduced fertilization ability.
In women >Abnormalities in the pituitary glands hormone system and hormones that control ovarian function result in no ovulation, abnormal uterine lining, and increased chances of premature birth or miscarriage.
It also reduces the absorption of vitamins and minerals, increasing the risk of malnutrition such as magnesium and potassium. It also comes with negative effects from a “hangover” such as insufficient sleep, restless sleep, headaches, dizziness, vomiting, dehydration, fatigue, etc. These are indirect negative effects that affect the body.
Therefore, drinking excessive amounts of liquor, beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages is a cause of infertility and reduces the chances of having children by up to 50%.
If anyone is planning a pregnancy and still has problems controlling their alcohol consumption, you may need to consider consulting a mental health professional or medical professional to find a treatment plan.

When preparing to have a baby, should you eat more animal protein or plant protein?
When preparing to have a baby, should you eat more animal protein or plant protein?
“Protein” is important for people of all ages, and they will receive different benefits. It must be consumed in different amounts at different ages. Protein is easily found in animal products, such as meat, milk, eggs, and processed foods such as butter and cheese.
But for parents who want to start taking care of themselves to avoid infertility, they can begin by avoiding high-fat foods and trans fats, such as margarine, fried foods, and snacks, to control blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes.
So how should people who want to have children eat protein?
If you are preparing to have children, you should eat 1-1.5 grams of protein per body weight/day. Proteins that should be eaten include fish, eggs, chicken, beef, pork, etc.
Eating protein from animals should be done in moderation. Although the nutritional value of animal protein is high, fat, cholesterol, and the risk of various dangerous diseases are also increased.
Plant protein is low in saturated fat, has no cholesterol, is high in fiber, and has fewer calories than animal protein. They can be eaten together, but it is recommended to avoid plant proteins that have effects similar to female hormones, such as soybeans and processed soybean proteins because they can affect the uterus.
Eating protein with iron will help strengthen the uterus and also help produce quality eggs. In addition, eating green vegetables to increase folate and vitamin B helps accelerate ovulation, resulting in a good chance of pregnancy in the future.
