SPONSORED FEATURE Your Infertility Is My Problem He debunks some of the more popular myths and misconceptions regarding infertility, and provides a deep dive into the actual mechanics of how fertility works and the many causes of infertility. 48 MARCH 2020 The mystery of life is one that has puzzled many since the beginning of time. Remedies using herbs, precious metals, even conception timed to moon phases, have existed from the time of the ancient Egypt to modern day. In today’s day and age, where infertility is an issue plaguing many developed countries all over the world, it is all the more serious. In fact, no less than the World Health Organisation has called it a global public health issue. Professor Christopher Chen, founder of the Advanced Centre for Reproductive Medicine, is no stranger to the mystery of infertility. He was the first IVF doctor to successfully produce IVF triplets, and the first to successfully freeze a human egg, both of which were groundbreaking developments in the world of reproductive medicine. In his newest book, Your Infertility Is My Problem, Professor Chen has set out to unravel the puzzles around fertility and provide a comprehensive guide for all aspiring parents towards pregnancy. In his over 30 years of practise, Professor Chen has found that education and awareness are some of the biggest issues regarding infertility. Plainly said, many people do not have a good idea of what preparations need to be done in order for conception to occur. It can come down to something as basic as not understanding their ovulation cycle, or what kind of nutrition helps with getting pregnant. For some, they may think that going for assisted reproductive techniques and medication is the only way to fix their infertility issues, and that nothing else can or needs to be done to improve their chances at getting pregnant. The truth is that while reproductive medicine can do wonders when it comes to infertility, it doesn’t need to be the only solution for couples looking to start their family. In addition, there are many other methods for them to achieve holistic wellness that helps improve the chances of getting pregnant. The only problem is that many couples do not have access to a comprehensive collection of vital information that covers all there is to know regarding fertility. In the book Your Infertility Is My Problem, Professor Chen has provided an all-inclusive guide to the information that couples need to know about their fertility. He debunks some of the more popular myths and misconceptions regarding infertility, and provides a deep dive into the actual mechanics of how fertility works and the many causes of infertility. Readers can find out how exactly do assisted reproductive techniques work, and how certain causes of infertility may not be as obvious as they may think. It isn’t a science textbook either. Professor Chen believes in a holistic approach to fertility. There are chapters regarding useful exercises that couples can do, holistic treatments such as Yoga that can be helpful for physical wellbeing that improves the chance of pregnancy, tips regarding stress management which helps with improving hormonal health, and also recipes for better nutrition.
