Hi ! We meet again in another of our educational ‘story’.
Many of you may be familiar with the 2003 movie ‘Pirates of The Caribbean : The Curse of The Black Pearl’. The curse of the Aztec King made the pirates, who stole the golds, undead and miserable.
Let me tell you of another curse that existed long ago that till today plagues our women…The curse of the Fibroid.
According to medical history, in the periods of Hippocrates in 460-375 BC , it was known as ‘uterine stone’. The first surgery for fibroid was done for the American President Abraham Lincoln’s cousin in 1809. The term fibroid was introduced in 1860.
Many women has fibroid , so what is the curse?

“ The word fitness is synonymous with healthy lifestyle . What about fertility fitness ? ”
Fitness is part of our lifestyle. This concept is widely accepted thanks to our health educational efforts. Fitness and healthy lifestyle is commonly associated with prevention of lifestyle related diseases. Many healthcare campaigns over the years have proven effective in reducing the disease burden in our society. Despite all these efforts , how many of us are aware of fertility fitness ?
What is fertility fitness
Fertility is the state of being fertile . Fertile is the ability of every men and women to produce offsprings or children. Fitness is a condition of being physically fit and healthy.
Therefore, fertility fitness is a condition where a man and woman is physically fit and healthy to produce children.
Fertility fitness also encompass ‘emotional fitness’ to be ready and able to embrace parenthood.
Why fertility fitness
It is a well known fact that fertility rate is declining . This fact is true for both men and women. In other words, the rate of male and female infertility is rising in the last 10 years.
All of us might agree that prevention is better than cure. This is true for health conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. We take care of our food and physical fitness to ‘avoid’ developing those conditions.
However, when it comes to fertility health , we tend to pay attention to it when we are facing difficulty conceiving (infertility). We prefer to ‘treat’ infertility rather than ‘prevent’ infertility.
You may ask , “If I pay attention to fertility fitness ,can I avoid infertility ?” .

Mrs M walked into the clinic with her beautiful daughter Maya, aged 5 . She is a happily married woman and conceived Maya within their first 6 months of marriage. Her pregnancy was well and Maya was delivered via a caesarean delivery.
The obvious question popped up in my mind, “ How can I help you ?”
“ Well one ain’t enough and we have been trying for a second child for the past one and a half years. I just don’t understand why i am not getting pregnant. I got pregnant with Maya easily. Surely we are not suffering from infertility. But why it is not happening again ?”
She is just one out of many women who find it difficult to believe that they are struggling for a second child or what is medically known as secondary subfertility.
What leads to secondary subfertility ? Let’s find out why.
