life story may have ground to. 27 years ago but there's no holding back his dreams. thank you for watching. cinema starts may 27th on. welcome to in good shape coming up. to exercise or not to exercise there is no question. 4th or rexy and unhealthy fixation on healthy eating. and fertility treatment new advances in reproductive medicine. and here's your host dr custom hello and welcome to in good shape where do babies come from this is

a question many children ask their parents and if the parents don't want to tell them they invent stories in many countries of the world stock still the liver is the baby's own friends girls come out of the road and boys out of a cabbage but what if the stork the roses and the cabbage fail you can go to the fertility center here in berlin to doctor. so have a couple as unprotected sex after one or 2 years in former times it was not easy to get pregnant but now the modern reproductive medicine is able to help certain to get the children maybe one or 2. men. stuff the couples who want to have babies are

the lucky side of life they just get pregnant that others try and try and try and they fail and if they don't get pregnant after you hear you talk to say that this is infertility. there can be many reasons why a woman fails to get pregnant one 3rd of cases are attributed to fertility issues with the female partner one 3rd to problems with the male partner and one 3rd to a combination of problems in both couples are generally considered in need of fertility treatment if they've been trying and failing to conceive for at least a year. in 2015 nearly 21000 babies born in germany for example resulted from assisted reproduction that was 1000 more than in the previous year worldwide millions of babies are conceived with the help of fertility treatment and the numbers climbing steadily so is infertility on the rise. sperm counts in western

industrialized nations have plunged by over 50 percent in the last 40 years stress and unhealthy lifestyles have been shown to adversely affect fertility professor cuts i mean hunger has observed a rise in the number of people seeking fertility treatment. smoking and obesity have a major impact on fertility and both women and men. the good thing is that you can discuss these issues with a couple and encourage them to make changes in time as to what if it's yes. but the main reason why couples fail to conceive is that women's fertility declines with age. the number of eggs in their ovaries decreases steadily. girls enter puberty with around half a 1000000 eggs. they lose around a 1000 eggs each month. when a woman is in her early thirties the statistical likelihood of her becoming

pregnant is 30 percent percent. in the fall full by the time a woman is 40 the likelihood she'll conceive has decreased and by $44.00 she has just a 3 to 4 percent chance of conceiving a month on this is fresh off of an all day the reason for this to put it frankly is that her eggs are older and they've declined in quality so a pregnancy becomes less likely and doctors nice minutes were nationalists of. women seeking fertility treatment are 35 and a half years old on average. with women delaying childbearing in some parts of the world are couples who want children more likely to end up childless. down to notice that you can't necessarily joel that conclusion is we don't know how many childless couples wanted children and how many chose not to have them working

and. what we do know is that a growing number of couples are seeking fertility treatments and that the options are becoming increasingly sophisticated the probability of conceiving after one round of treatment is now 20 percent the more rounds you have the higher your chances are of conceiving but success is by no means guaranteed. and you can head off until it is centered in the loop which is one of the hottest it's interesting just here in germany thanks for having me today. with a couple decides to come see so 1st say should have unprotected sex and if it more than one year of unprotected sex then they should go to a doctor either gynecologist or here to reproductive unit and if they visit you and watch you. first have to find out the reason for being steroids recorded steroids and that it's

a pending on either male factors or female factors and then female factors it mainly harbottle disturbances that there is an every man school cycle or the wife has a problem with her fellow peon tubes as a result of pelvic infection or it is a male problem that is promoted 3 of the number of sperm as low and that might be the reason of a male infertility you definitely look at both not just the female the male yes of you have to look at both because it's half and half between male and female that the reason is hard and made them hard and female last years you can read something about it use the sperm quality which increased over the last decade this is true that's true but on the other hand we know that the probability to get pregnant is nearly the same whether it's now or it's a decade or 2 decades ago so there is

a problem but it has no influence on the question whether the wife is should get pregnant moment but one problem could be a shop of college here industrious countries couples decide to imagine an old range for instance over the age of 50. here that has an influence so the normal fecundity gets. after the age of 30 in the vive. but definitely between 303538 that's not a huge problem after 40 years of age that's a problem because of the problem of the quality of the x. the quality of the x. is the minish ing after the dramatically after the age of 38 years and the introductory age of survive is very important on the other hand the male influence is not that important but after the age of 50 you have also a lower quality of sperm looking at treatment options i mean i think that it

depends on the costs of the infertility but what kind of options to you offer ok if there's a nominal disturbance in the women it's the treatment is very easy you have to get for some tablets or injections to produce eggs and then if she hasn't ovulation she then these this problem is solved on the other hand if there are moderate problem with the sperms you could combine this one was an artificial insemination so drugs for ovulation and artificial insemination so it's a quite easy treatment. let's take a closer look at artificial insemination in countries about 2 to 5 percent of the couple need some help. many couples hoping to have children face a battle against time such as 34 year old even villa and her husband lived.

we tried and failed for a long time so we went to see the doctor and i went to a gynecologist and my husband went to just the doctors advise us to go to a fertility clinic can i watched and talked again. it was quite overwhelming at 1st it had already been on our minds but when that's what you're told because it really becomes an issue but it didn't mean that we had this opportunity. to look for. we used to take this egg cell that turns into an embryo out of an incubator and put it under a microscope to see whether fertilization had occurred so it's was a view of what it was the 1st egg ovum was examined once a day in court sue on the field itself you could say. removing the cells from the warm environment of the incubator 37 degrees celsius removing them from ideal conditions and exposing them to the risk of cooling and to light as well as

fluctuations in the ph levels and now none of that's necessary. new technology is helping to improve the success rate of assisted reproduction treatments. among the latest and the most advanced methods now available is the so-called time lapse incubated. when you open it shares a gap the built in camera travels along a few measures and assesses the cells well creating the timelapse footage it's a very small area system. it's intentional in order to create very stable cell culture conditions. where the egg shells would usually develop are close to no like can enter and there are no temperature fluctuations this time. that allows a more natural and unhindered development in the extremely sensitive early phase as

well as careful monitoring by the doctors. it is easy for terrorists to live in those one big advantages that the incubator can function without interruption without things open that 2nd pleased we can see how the cell division inside is developing. we know far better resolution of every single movement so there's much more information about the quality of the cells development which is a huge advantage is that said if you can see. within 5 days the fertilized eggs are implanted into the mother's uterus evangelist treatment was successful now she's pregnant. just because the story of the baby is completely healthy everything's great each time the doctors told us how well the baby was developing and everything was normal so it couldn't have been any better just great. for couples like is the time that incubates

a method significantly improves the chances of becoming pregnant. about 40 years ago the 1st test tube baby was born her name is louise down and there are different kinds of official insinuations so what kinds on how they to choose from so we look either on in vitro fertilization test joe perry all we combine it with a x. a massive when you inject one spot and so normally it takes in vitro fertilization that means you have the major x. and then you put around the x. about 200000 sperm and you hope that one goes until the end. on the other hand the exit procedure then you take one spur inject this one directly into the x. and then you hope you have a fertilization as well so the 1st one the in vitro fertilization is more natural compared with the extreme methods and what about the result of. that because you

inject it directly into the you have a little a little higher number of fertilization but the body is important at the end the baby take home or it is just the same it's more in favor of the even more natural procedure of the i.v. you have sold the baby take over it is a little bit better in i we have a procedure so it's always a good idea to stay with nature you have to give the woman home or is the preparation for the examination why is that so normally you have only ovulation of one egg during a man through a cycle but for successful in vitro fertilization you need 12 to 15 eggs and you can make a calculation because half of the eggs as never able for a pregnancy or for a delivery so you need more and some of the eggs don't get fertilized so that's the aim to do had $12.00 to $15.00 eggs which are major and then you can use them for the in vitro fertilization all for the masses and isn't it dangerous to beef those

homes are they decide if it's yes you have to look to the side effects of the long term around the end of the short term run on the long term and we know that there is no high probability for getting cancer breast cancer in women or utils cancer or ovarian cancer but in the short run you have problems that there is a possibility of foreign hyperstimulation that you have not only $12.00 to $15.00 eggs but maybe 30 and then the ovaries are enlarged and something that much smaller than that the woman has to go into the hospital to give you some update on the sex history of the teacher. fertilization souls of 1st success rate is that you have after the embryo transfer you have a pregnancy the pregnancy rate can be expected of about 30 percent. but that is not the most important for the women most important is a baby take home rate and the baby took over 8 per 10 days between 20 and 25

percent so if you count the couple you have to tell them ok we have to take it to 2 or 3 and then the probability of 4 having a baby is higher than the probability for not having a baby and when you take a look at the baby lisa i mean there are some reports that suggest that there are higher rates of organ failure problems so too are things this is true because we have to be aware that we do a lot of artificial things we give a lot of hormones for the majority of the eggs and then in the incomplete of the the eggs the sperms and the embryos are between 2 and 5 days and the possibility for developing are not just the same as in the women the fallopian tubes normally it takes place in the fallopian tube and that we have to be there may be that some harm on the embryo and on the end we are never on the safe side when we do artificial things so we have to pronounce of the patient and we could do

it only if the patient are agreeing on the procedure will we just focused on artificial insemination let's take a look at natural for today's age and so we could view a christian some atheist from us and he asked if there are certain positions that increases the chance of getting pregnant no you should just have sex and the position is not important and it's not also important that you stay in bed because we know after 10 minutes these problems are not in the vagina only not in the order of the hour in the fallopian tubes you can do what you want just have sex so there's no heads. necessary you know ok. i want to know does abstinence improve sperm quality it's the opposite because normally human beings have sex all 2 or 3 days so if you wait too long you get not better spreads are get worse so not waiting for a long time just have sex it's really good news thanks for this very interesting

talk so if you want to get pregnant yes to become active and if you want to have your questions answered get active to. an upcoming show we'll be looking at fruit and vegetables do they give us a nuff nutrients or would it be better to take supplements to stay healthy send in your questions about that issue too in good shape but g w dot com just write nutritional supplements in the subject line we look forward to hearing from you. if you want to write us do it right now because postponing things means that they often don't get done i am myself a master in procrastinating but this way out of it let's take a look at the next report i will watch this report maybe later. a quick burst of activity but you run out of steam almost immediately.

if you see exercising as a chore you might want to try finding a sport that's. healthy and as a sports psychologist at the university of parts he loves running and he advises people to find a form of exercise that suits them and it was also obvious you need to try things out perhaps this is a sport you used to enjoy what you like doing most then just go and do it. try mixing it up the main thing is to enjoy working out. lots of people say they would exercise but they just don't have the time. kind of tight so how saying you don't have time is not an excuse everyone is busy you have to find a way of fitting exercise into your schedule how ever busy you are the small time

all itemized. to put it in your calendar that's what you do with the work appointment make it non-negotiable just put it in the calendar and stick to it. schedule your exercise. and make sure you're well prepared. pack what you need in your sports bag well in advance. and be realistic people need to exercising tend to set themselves over ambitious goals they have no chance of reaching. the biasness it's really important not to overtax yourself and do a bit less than what you think feels right and only keep it up as long as it feels comfortable. and don't forget to reward yourself that way you'll stay motivated. sometimes

our brain is pretty straightforward a reward means the brain says well done do it again treat yourself. and sooner or later that feeling of achievement after a good workout will be reward enough. you know what i like to put into my phone all the things i eat because i want to stick to a healthy diet but sometimes pursuing a healthy diet can be compulsive if you get obsessed by it but can a healthy diet be an illness that i didn't want to lose weight i wanted to put on weight but i was also afraid. and i eat really healthy fruit and vegetables hardly any fat counterfeiter. canned food was a no no i would never eat canned tomatoes say because they have additives and none of which was the cause and a healthy diet has never been more fashionable but paradoxically sometimes it can make people unhealthy mindful eating can become an obsession so fear is 19 and

suffers from orthorexia no vosa and excessive preoccupation with eating what's perceived as healthy food she's been in treatment for 6 months she's learning to understand the condition. at the beginning i thought you were eating healthily and you're also exercising so a healthy lifestyle but at some point i realized i was losing weight even though i didn't want to but i was also worried about putting it back on and that's when it started to become compulsive and that kind of. people with orthorexia are less worried about the amount of food they're eating and more preoccupied with what they're eating they have a fixation with what they believe to be healthy and unhealthy food. a study involving nearly $1400.00 test subjects at the university of bristol dorf showed that 3 percent had symptoms of orthorexia bianca shrine and has also

observed a rise in the disorder. people are looking for the healthiest diet possible and that can make them increasingly restrictive when it comes to what they eat. and they no longer see food as sustenance it becomes their main focus in life and that's what orthorexia is basically. fear 1st arrived in the clinic she weighed just 36 kilos when someone is orthorexia their entire day tends to revolve around what they eat they set themselves strict rules about what they're allowed to eat and follow them rigidly. that's what happened to sophia too and one key factor played a major role. still out on the field believe that the media was to blame these days you're always hearing about the dangers of sugar how the whole

world is eating fast too much sugar and too much fat so. that was what started my anxiety because. tips on healthy eating are all over social media a british study revealed that regular instagram users are more likely to think about the issue of eating and exhibit symptoms of orthorexia. is an exit nutrition is a major topic in society and the media i'd say that coverage of issues related to how we eat certainly plays a role in orthorexia such as factory farming or a salmonella outbreak. some viruses that are transmitted through food that's had. skills. anxiety about diseases can feed the fixation on healthy eating here in the clinic the young women are really learning how to eat normally it doesn't happen overnight. and it's also why is there that says that's

a problem for me. the cookies and fruit mean there's already sugar in it sounded so calm down but you may not see this in the amount of sugar isn't all that much. try getting used to the idea that small amounts of added sugar are just fine clothes atmananda off. young women are particularly at risk of developing a disproportionate fear of unhealthy food. but so are people who work in areas related to nutrition such as fitness trainers and dietitians doctors keep a close eye on the patients various rules are designed to help them develop a healthy relationship to food. they have half an hour to eat so they can get used to normal quantities normal meals and normal meal rhythms so that's why we have this half hour rule then they can leave the table or. they get 6 meals a day all the food is fresh and flavorful even so for many of the young women here

tucking in takes a lot of determination it's hard for them to relinquish control over what they're eating. and the goal is for them to eat more or less normally and what's also important simply to enjoy eating again and to be able to take pleasure in food. sophia has set herself a personal goal. when mrs overall started attending an outpatient clinic. not like to get an apartment with roommates who are roughly my. age and go back to the job training program i was doing before and i'd just like to return to normal life that's my goal. a normal life that doesn't involve worrying incessantly about food. that's it for today see you next week and until then let's all try to stay in good shape.
