According to the World Health Organization, infertility and sub-fertility impact a significant portion of the global population. In the United States alone, CDC data reveals that 6.1 million women aged 15-44 encounter challenges in conceiving or maintaining pregnancy.
The complexities of conception extend beyond female reproductive health, as various factors influence fertility. Research indicates that infertility stems from female factors, male factors, or a combination of both, along with instances where the cause remains unidentified.
Existing options for individuals seeking pregnancy often involve expensive procedures and hormone-altering medications, accompanied by notable side effects and financial burdens. Recent studies shed light on a promising non-invasive alternative: Hyperbaric Therapy.
Hyperbaric Therapy and Vascularization
- Facilitates the formation of new blood vessels

- Promotes optimal vascularization of the endometrium
Female Fertility
- Alleviates inflammation associated with endometriosis
- Enhances ovarian angiogenesis
- Thickens the endometrium
- Improves endometrial oxygenation
- Stimulates cell division in the basal endometrium
Male Fertility
- Reduces sperm DNA fragmentation
- Enhances erectile function
- Increases sperm motility
- Improves sperm velocity
- Boosts sperm count
