Fertility

Getting pregnant isn’t always easy, and the experience of infertility often carries with it worry and uncertainty. We offer a safe and nurturing space for patients on their fertility journeys. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy offers hope and science in equal measures simply by harnessing the power of oxygen and pressure. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a natural non-invasive intervention that is effective in helping support your body as it goes through the different stages of your fertility journey. To optimize results, we use customized protocols for different types of infertility

How does HBOT help fertility?

For couples experiencing infertility, trying to conceive can be complicated and a heartbreaking long journey. There are many factors that determine a couple’s ability to get pregnant. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be an effective non-invasive treatment for fertility. Here are some ways HBOT helps both.

• New blood vessels – HBOT increases the production of new blood vessels. This means better blood flow, allowing your overall fertility system to function better. If you have had any medical interventions, this will also allow you to heal quicker.
• Reduces inflammation – Our fertility systems work best when there isn’t excess inflammation. By reducing inflammation, HBOT improves the efficiency of your body’s fertility efforts. It also can help individuals regulate their sleep, a vital way to help the body perform at optimum levels.

• Repairs tissue damage – If there have been any injuries to the fertility system, HBOT can help restore damaged tissue. This can mean shortening your recovery time or returning function to tissue affected long ago.
• More energy/fights fatigue – Fatigue and low energy can be limiting factors when trying to conceive. The energy boost from HBOT can be a valuable resource to help you achieve more frequent and successful attempts when you are ovulating.

How does HBOT support egg and uterus health?

• Increases endometrial thickness – Adequate thickness of the uterine lining is an important step in getting pregnant. Studies show that HBOT significantly improves the endometrium quality, by increasing blood flow and oxygen supply.
• Reduces scarring – Uterine scarring can reduce the chances of a successful pregnancy. Studies show that HBOT can be used preventatively to help reduce scarring before it occurs and correctively to help previously damaged tissue. Both of these increase the success of pregnancy attempts.
• Improves ovarian function – HBOT can improve the blood flow inside the ovaries. This has the benefit of increasing the quality and quantity of egg production.
• Endometriosis and PID – The inflammation caused by both of these conditions can negatively affect your fertility. HBOT reduces this inflammation, increasing your chances of a successful pregnancy.

How does HBOT support sperm health?

• Enhances the quality of sperm – The pH of sperm directly affects its motility and velocity. HBOT helps to balance the pH of your sperm, thereby improving the quality of your semen. It can also improve your HOS score, which is a test that evaluates the integrity and vitality of sperm cells.
• Improves erectile function – Adequate blood flow is an essential factor in your erectile function. The improved blood flow, and growth of new blood vessels can breathe new life into tissues that have been previously restricted.
• Increases quantity of sperm – HBOT decreases fructose concentration in sperm. This is a good thing because studies show that a decrease in fructose in semen increases the overall sperm count and its motility.
• Helps repair damages caused by cancer treatments – Radiation can damage the blood vessels essential for semen production. HBOT can help regrow those blood vessels, allowing sperm production to improve.
