The Health Equation for sub-fertility – An Integrated Approach

Leading osteopath, Gerry Gajadharsingh, is a Diagnostic Consultant – Complementary Medicine from The Health Equation. The Health Equation is a partnership of doctors and healthcare practitioners that integrates conventional and complementary medicine.

Diagnostics for Sub-fertility

All couples will initially go through a screening consultation, which will include a case history, interview, blood tests and a comprehensive semen analysis. Couples will then be invited to attend The Health Equation for a diagnostic consultation with Mr Gajadharsingh. During this consultation a full case history will be taken, clinical examinations performed, additional blood samples taken for further tests looking at hormonal profiles and nutritional status, referral for a female trans vaginal pelvic ultrasound and the man’s semen sent for a further analysis (a spermatozoa DNA fragmentation analysis will be done: this assesses the number of healthy versus genetically damaged spermatozoa within an ejaculate). If the couple is confirmed to have unexplained sub-fertility, they will be offered a place on The Health Equation clinical programme for sub-fertility. The treatment strategies may include: osteopathic manual techniques; nutritional advice with nutritional supplements; stress management strategies; breathing re-education and exercise programmes.

The aim of the programme is to develop individual treatment strategies for couples with unexplained sub-fertility. All couples will be investigated for cortisol and dehydroepiandosterone (DHEA), adrenal cortex hormones, that are altered by stress.

Who qualifies?

Couples (females aged 25-45 years and males aged 25-50 years) who have been having regular sexual intercourse for the previous 18 months without conception for primary sub-fertility (never conceived) and 12 months for secondary sub-fertility (has previously conceived).
