Q&A with Dr. Poonkiat: Is it considered as infertility if the second child has not yet to come after trying for several years?

Many couples have been waiting for their second child after trying natural fertilization.

It is considered as “Secondary Infertility”. Meaning the couples are undergoing to have the next child after the first pregnancy. They should visit the doctor to identify the cause of problem. Then the doctor will collect your medical information generally for examples: how long you have been using natural fertilization, frequency of sex activity or even breast feeding. Because mother who is giving breast feeding to her first child within 1-2 years will not have neither menstruation nor ovulation. Therefore, it is more difficult to have the second child.

Moreover, some mothers allow their babies sucking breastmilk just for fun but mothers are having anovulation. As some hormones are released inside their bodies. So, this behavior may cause infertility as well.

After reviewing the general information, the mother who has stopped giving breast feeding for a long time until the ovulation returns to normal but the second child has not yet to come. Then we need to find out what the reason of infertility comes from. Some major reasons include:

Aging: Timeframe between the birth of 1st and 2nd child is prolonged. For example; woman who had the first child in her early 30s but the second child was born after she turned 35. It would affect the egg’s quality and make mother become unhealthy. In the meantime, father may have less sperm count and sperm’s quality because of aging.

Physical Condition: Any medical problems or abnormalities of the couple such as thyroid disease, diabetes, hypertension, etc.

Gaining Weight: Gaining the body weight when having the first child may cause anovulation and less sperm’s quality.

Stress and the change of lifestyle: More responsibilities and the pressure from work can affect sexual relationship, emotions as well as quality of sperm and egg.

For any couples who encounter with these problems will need to consult with the doctor or the infertility treatment specialist in order to identify cause of problem and fix it. The treatment procedure is quite similar to the one for any couples who never had a child.

In conclusion, it is possible that people may have the infertility problem once they need to have the next child even though they used to be pregnant before.
If you still haven’t succeeded after trying natural fertilization for at least 1 year, please hurry up to visit the doctor to find out what makes you failed and attend treatment program later on.

Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility

Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility

Frequent drinking and hangovers increase the risk of infertility

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?

 

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.
