Did you know that high prolactin levels can also be the cause of infertility?

Did you know that high prolactin levels can also be the cause of infertility?

What is prolactin?

Prolactin, also known as luteotropic hormone or luteotropin, is a protein found in both females and males.

Prolactin is mostly produced in the pituitary gland—a small hormone-secreting gland at the base of the brain. Prolactin plays a vital role in many of the body’s functions including ovulation, reproduction, immunity, and blood cell formation, but is primarily known for its role in stimulating lactation (breast milk production) and preventing women from getting pregnant when breastfeeding.

Basically, prolactin inhibits the production of LH and FSH, the hormones that stimulate the ovaries to mature & release an egg.

Prolactin inhibits two hormones necessary for ovulation: follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH). When you have high levels of prolactin in your blood (a condition called hyperprolactinemia), you will not ovulate and this will result in infertility.

SYMPTOMS

  • Unwanted production of breast milk.

  • Oestrogen deficiency in women

  • Testosterone deficiency in males.

  • anovulation (when an egg is not released during a menstrual cycle

  • amenorrhea (absence of periods)

  • oligomenorrhea (irregular periods)

  • infertility

  • Loss of libido

  • Vaginal dryness

  • Hirsutism

What causes hyperprolactinemia?

  • Benign (I.e. non cancerous) growth or tumour in the pituitary gland known as a prolactinoma

  • Hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid

  • High estrogen, either endogenous or from the pill

  • Medications such as antidepressants or antipsychotic

  • Low blood sugar levels

  • Anorexia nervosa

  • Stress

How to lower your prolactin levels?

  • Say no to alcohol, especially beer, because barley stimulates prolactin.

  • Address the root causes of underactive thyroid

  • Reduce stress with yoga, meditation, and long slow walks.

  • Consider adding vitamin B 6 rich foods in your diet like bananas, potatoes, chicken, spinach, and wild salmon.

  • Avoid high-intensity workouts or activities that overwhelm you

  • Get 7-8 hours of high quality sleep

  • Seek homeopathic treatment to lower your prolactin level

And of course don’t forget about homeopathic remedies. They are safe, gentle and effective in treating the root causes of high prolactin levels.

Few useful homeopathic remedies for high prolactin levels

Sepia

Irregular and scanty periods

Only leucorrhea in place of periods

Bearing down sensation in the pelvis

Pulsatilla

The menses are late and scanty

The menstrual flow lasts for too short a time. The menstrual blood may be of a dark or blackish colour.

Cyclamen

There is breast swelling with discharge of milk from breasts usually after periods. Swelling in breasts feels like a hard, tensed sensation with pain.  Stitches may be felt in the breast.

THRIVE WITH PCOS: THE PCOS AND HOMEOPATHY STUDY

THRIVE WITH PCOS: THE PCOS AND HOMEOPATHY STUDY

This is an international study using online consultations. This study has closed.

In the next few weeks I will be running a much needed Homeopathy STUDY OF PCOS. PCOS is a mysterious medical condition which is difficult to diagnose and affects your hormonal balance, resulting in “manly” facial hair or hair loss, cystic acne, crazy irregular periods, mood swings, ovarian cysts, fatigue, weight gain and much more.

Aim of the study

I’ve been helping women conquer their PCOS symptoms for over 18 years. PCOS is a silent killer and can’t be resolved with conventional medicine. Homeopathy offers great hope in resolving several symptoms associated with PCOS. I am interested in distinguishing which homeopathic remedies are more frequently called for in women with PCOS, especially when dealing with heavy menstrual bleeding, amenorrhea, hirsutism, insulin resistance and mood swings. This study will help me improve my knowledge on which PCOS cases respond well to homeopathic treatment.

Benefits of the study

You will benefit from:

  • specialist homeopathic treatment for your PCOS
  • an improvement in your symptoms
  • consultations at no cost

 

Criteria for the study

  1. You will commit to full 4 free homeopathic consultations over a period of 4 months. You may decide to continue with follow ups after 4 months.
  2. You agree to stop alternative treatments (such as sacro cranial osteopathy, reflexology, herbs or CBD oil, acupressure etc) during the study as these can antidote homeopathy.
  3. You are ready to wean yourself off coffee.
  4. You will buy and take prescribed homeopathic remedies as instructed and give feedback about response to remedy.
  5. You will not stop your PCOS medication prescribed by your doctor, until you decide to lower or stop the dosage with approval of your medical doctor.
  6. Remedies must be ordered by you at your cost. (I will let you know where and what to order)
  7. You will provide consent for me to publish the results. ( All your personal details will of course be kept confidential)
  8. You are happy to provide testimonials during the study or at the end of the study.

How the consultations will take place?

As homeopathic prescriptions are based on the patient’s own individualized symptoms, so it is quite possible to do an online consultation. I will be doing online consultations via Skype/phone/Zoom.

I am looking for candidates (Canada/US based, or around the world via video consults using Skype/Facebook/Zoom etc) who would like to take part in the study to see if homeopathy can help their PCOS. I will initially be offering four FREE consultations (that’s four months’ worth) for these  candidates worldwide

If you are interested in taking part in the study, ****BOOK A FREE 15 MINUTE DISCOVERY CHAT WITH ME****
If you are looking for support and information on all things natural for PCOS, please come over and say hi at my ****FACEBOOK SUPPORT GROUP****

Please share this with any other women you know who are struggling with their PCOS.

If you’re struggling with PCOS or its associated conditions and would like treatment outside the study then please get in touch or make an appointment. I work internationally via Skype/Facebook/Zoom and face-to-face in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada.

Disclaimer

This is not a clinical trial. This is a pilot study and every patient will get individualized prescription based on his own symptoms. The cut off point for taking new patients is 31st of August 2019.

WHEN YOU ARE BLEEDING TO DEATH EVERY MONTH….. CAN HOMEOPATHY HELP?

WHEN YOU ARE BLEEDING TO DEATH EVERY MONTH….. CAN HOMEOPATHY HELP?

Trisha came to see me for her problematic periods which were getting heavier and extremely painful with every month that passed by. She never thought that it was in any way abnormal until she reached the point where she had to be admitted in ER for blood transfusion. Her iron stores were depleted and she was left with no energy. She was released from the hospital with a prescription of few iron pills, nobody bothered addressing the issue of the painful and heavy periods. This became a routine where she had to go to the hospital every month for blood transfusion after shedding blood each menstrual cycle.

 

Later her family doctor ordered a few tests to rule out possible reasons for her condition. Her scans showed that she had fibroids. Her doctor advised her Uterine Artery Embolization, to shut off blood supply to the fibroids and other areas of the uterus. She went ahead with the surgery only to find no relief. She dealt with excruciating pain every month. Her periods were getting even more intense. Another scan revealed that she was having numerous fibroids and Uterine Artery Embolization was not an option. Now she was advised to go for a hysterectomy as her doctor suspected she has endometriosis. Bleeding to death every month was not easy but she couldn’t convince herself for the hysterectomy and instead started to look for other options. One of her friends, who was my patient, referred her to me.

 

After full consultation, I came to know about various aspects of her life. Her symptoms guided me to choose a constitutional remedy to treat her endometriosis. After a couple of months’ treatment the bleeding and pain both decreased. She is still under my care. Her latest scan showed only two tiny fibroids. I am quite hopeful that next scan will show no fibroids.

POST PILL AMENORRHEA…CAN HOMEOPATHY BRING MY PERIODS BACK?

POST PILL AMENORRHEA…CAN HOMEOPATHY BRING MY PERIODS BACK?

Last year when Naomi walked in through my clinic doors she was dealing with post pill amenorrhea. She was off pill from last 1 year and still hadn’t seen a single sign of her periods. To make the matters worse she was also dealing with acne on her face and chest area.

Naomi was diagnosed with PCOS in her early teens. She was not overweight, no excessive hair growth but her ultrasound showed a cyst on her left ovary. She also had acne on her face.

Just these two symptoms made her a candidate for PCOS. She was devastated but accepted the treatment offered by her family doctor. Now years later, when she thought about having a child, she decided to quit the pill. She waited every month to see the bright red flow of her menstrual cycle but in vain. On top of that her acne also returned back, this time not just on the face, but on her chest area too. She decided to take a holistic approach this time.

Why post pill amenorrhea?

It happens quite often, when you come off pill you got hit with myriad of symptoms leaving you broken and devastated. When you are on the pill, your whole reproductive system is under the influence of synthetic hormones. Long-term management of your reproductive system with synthetic hormones can lead to absence of ovulation. Ovulation has stopped because your pituitary gland is confused and it has stopped talking to your ovaries and no longer signalling them to produce FSH (follicle stimulating hormone – to develop an egg) and LH (luteinizing hormone – to release the egg). Homeopathic detox of these synthetic hormones can restart the body’s natural control over the cycle.

DETOXING THE CONTRACEPTIVE PILL

In order to bring back the normal functionality of your reproductive system, it is essential to bring the hormones back into balance, to restore the vitality of your reproductive organs and I often do this by homeopathic hormone detox. Detoxing the pill restores pituitary gland and ovaries function back to normal and they start talking to each other again and ovulation resumes back. I started Naomi on three months contraceptive pill detox and just after 2 weeks she saw the bright red menstrual flow. It took a few more follow ups to regulate her cycle and to clear her acne for good. It’s been months and she hadn’t experienced another outbreak of acne and her cycles are also regular with bright red flow.

If you also want to know more how detoxing the pill can help you with your mystery symptoms, don’t delay any further. Click the link below and book a 15 minute free discovery chat with me.

How common are ovarian cysts?

How common are ovarian cysts?

Did you know that ovarian cysts are very common, especially with woman who are of reproductive age?

Ovarian cyst develops as a normal part of your menstrual cycle. 

Our menstrual cycle has two main phases.

First one is called follicular phase- The time between the first day of the period and ovulation (The release of the egg from the ovary, mid-cycle).

Second phase is called Luteal phase – The time from ovulation until the start of the next period.

During follicular phase your ovaries develop cyst-like follicles every month. A follicle is the fluid-filled cyst that contains an egg. When the egg matures, the follicle breaks open to release the egg. 

After ovulation occurs- Luteal phase starts and the follicle sac that contained the egg transforms into a mass of cells called corpus luteum and begins to produce progesterone.

If an egg is fertilized, progesterone from the corpus luteum supports the early pregnancy. If no fertilization occurs, the corpus luteum will start to break down to start your periods.

However, If a follicle doesn’t burst or release its egg, during follicular phase, it become a follicular cyst. 

Or, if the follicle bursts and the left behind sac (corpus luteum) reseals itself, it fills up with fluid and becomes a corpus luteum cyst.

Both functional and corpus luteum cysts go away after a few weeks. But, problem occurs when they don’t shrink. They also may bleed or twist the ovary and cause pain. 

Theca lutein cysts: These mainly occur in women who have infertility treatment with hormones. The hormones stimulate the growth of egg cells in the ovaries. Cysts may develop as a side effect.

Less common type of cysts are benign cysts.

* Endometriomas are caused by endometriosis. Endometriosis happens when the lining of the uterus (womb) grows outside of the uterus.
* Dermoids come from cells present from birth and do not usually cause symptoms.
* Cystadenomas are filled with watery fluid and can sometimes grow large.

A cyst that becomes large can cause the ovaries to shift from their usual position in the abdomen. This shift can increase the chance of ovarian torsion (the twisting of an ovary), which can cause severe pain and vomiting. A cyst that has ruptured causes severe pain and can lead to internal bleeding.
