Why Uterine Health Matters

Did you know that your incredible, hard working, baby growing powerhouse deserves some serious TLC? Whether you are trying to conceive or just want to keep things running smoothly, taking care of your uterine health is key. It’s like prepping the perfect home – warm, cozy and ready for new beginnings. So, just what does your uterus need to thrive?

Your uterus might not get the spotlight it deserves but when it comes to fertility, it’s the star of the show. Here is why it needs VIP treatment:

It’s the ultimate home builder. The uterus creates the perfect environment for a fertilized egg to settle in and grow
Implantation is everything. If the uterine lining isn’t strong and healthy, implantation can’t happen, and pregnancy won’t progress
Placenta production starts here. A well-prepared uterus lays the foundation for a healthy placenta, which nourishes a growing baby.

Let’s look at what could be throwing things off balance.

What Can Mess With Your Uterine Health?

Your uterus needs regular upkeep. Sometimes things get in the way:

Hormonal chaos: If estrogen and progesterone are not balanced, your uterine lining might not be thick enough or too thick for implantation
Uninvited guests (fibroids): These non-cancerous growths can block implantation or interfere with pregnancy.
Inflammation and Infections: Endometriosis and chronic endometritis can make the uterus less welcoming.

Don’t worry – there is plenty you can do to help support your uterus!

Your Uterus-Supporting Action Plan

Eat for a Happy Uterus – Food=fuel, and your uterus needs the good stuff:
