- What is sterility?
Since one out of ten couples suffer from sterility nowadays, sterility is no
longer a rare illness. An ordinary couple has a normal marriage life for
more than two years and the wife cannot get pregnant. We consider this case
sterility. Many believe that couples with a normal marriage who cannot
conceive a baby after one year could possibly be sterile. Therefore, most
of those couples who wish to receive medical treatment see an obstetrician
and gynecologist. This is the actual situation.

- Medical Treatment Results
Approximately 75% of women who got pregnant used the timing method (sexual
intercourse during ovulation), along with high-level procreative medical
treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and artificial insemination with husband's semen (AIH) at specialized medical institutions. Only about 10% of those women actually required the medical treatments. As a result, many of those women who thought they suffered from sterility may have conceived without medical
intervention.

- The Medical Treatment for Sterility
I am a medical doctor who offers medical treatment for sterility to
patients. My wife and I went through four years of medical treatments for
sterility. Being a patient allowed me to think about the various factors of
sterility. One concern that burdened my mind was the heavy mental stress
that patients suffered during their treatment. Yet, occurring around us
were many couples who conceived a baby after they quit receiving medical
treatment for sterility. Based on this observation, I came to the
conclusion that the medical treatments were ironically causing the stress
and anxiety, which is a factor in sterility. Furthermore, if the patient
required such high-level medical treatments such as IVF and AIH, the patient was expected to pay a tremendous
price for the treatment. This is the reality. Knowing the desire for a
child and the difficulties of sterility has given me the aspiration to help
couples fulfill their dreams of having a baby with a very reasonable fee.

- Sterility Consultations at Komae Clinic
All of us wish to have a natural pregnancy. We at Komae Clinic offer a
counseling service for couples who suffer from sterility. Please consider
our clinic as the base camp before receiving special medical treatment for
sterility. The objective of our clinic is that couples conceive naturally.
We provide counseling services that determine the most suitable method for
conception. We sincerely feel that our counseling services can provide the
necessary knowledge to become pregnant naturally without medical
intervention. Although it is extremely important that the bottom part of
thalamus, hypophysis, the ovary and the womb work cooperatively to become
pregnant successfully, many women suffer from sterility because of the loss
of balance among these organs and stress. As a medical institution, our
clinic performs thorough assessments along with minor medical examinations
to the patients. We carefully consider the patients' state of mind and
social environment, which play an important factor in conception. Due to
the thoroughness of the examinations, the patients are required make an
appointment. Since we would like our patients to be relaxed for the
consultation, we allot time to focus on individual couples with no
distractions. We spend more than thirty minutes for the counseling service
for sterility. For patients who have never experienced sterility medical
treatments, we provide detailed information of the various treatments. We
also carefully explain our therapy for sterility. If it is deemed necessary
to seek medical intervention at a specialized institution, the patients are
prepared with the knowledge for the necessary procedures. If you feel that
any of the statements below applies to you, please allow us to help you
fulfill your dream of having a baby. (Our counseling service for sterility
is 3,000 yen.)

- You cannot have a baby after one year of marriage.
- You are uncertain the medical treatment you receive for sterility is
effective.
- You are tired of receiving the medical treatment for sterility.
- You want to have a baby, but you are indecisive about receiving medical
treatment for sterility.

Although you want to have a baby as soon as possible, please do not feel
rushed or pressured. Many fertility institutions can create anxiety and
stress, but these are not the intentions of our clinic. The purpose of our
clinic is to offer counseling that is refreshing and encouraging.

- It is nice to become interested in the things other than sterility!
Most of the sterility cases have no symptoms. If you do not wish to have a
baby, you will not be applicable for receiving the medical treatment for
sterility in most cases. If you focus on thinking about sterility, you will
find it very stressful and you might be caught in a vicious cycle that makes
your conditions worse. During the holidays, it is nice for you to go out
with your spouse to distract your minds. I think it is very nice to have
hobbies the both of you can enjoy. Our clinic can help ease your stress.
We look forward to hearing the opinions, worries and questions from those
who presently receive medical treatments for sterility. Please contact us.
