The search to get pregnant is conditioned on a multitude of factors which are beyond our control. The reaction of our organism to certain treatments, to the environment in which we live and work, to stressful situations or to our genetic makeup influences the success or lack of success in providing descendants naturally as is the case in fertility treatments. However among all the possible situations to become pregnant the climate and lifestyle found in the Valencian Community in general and especially in Alicante on the Costa Blanca give future mums and dads many advantages.
Beyond the biological factors such as the gamete quality or the couples age , the environment is guilty to a greater extent in the success or failure of fertility treatment. Infertility normally affects men and women in a similar percentage however around 20% of couples who suffer from reproductive dysfunctions never discover the reasons why they are unable to become pregnant naturally.
In these unknown causes although still difficult to determine , environmental factors could be included. The most immediate environment is that which surrounds people everywhere and therefore is that in which they can exert certain influence should they wish, and this could be important as the element which tips the scales at the time of trying to get pregnant.
Environmental factors which affect fertility in Spain
And this environment in places such as Alicante and the Valencian Community can mean the definitive stimulus to realise the dream of creating a family. In other words a person’s residence can be that piece of information that proves to be essential in the succesful outcome of fertility treatment.
Climate. More sunshine hours, milder winters, warmer changes of seasons and a cleaner environment. Contamination caused by car exhaust fumes is an important factor affecting infertility: the contaminated air found in the great metropolis of the world is an important obstacle to getting pregnant and to the success of fertility treatments. In the Valencian Community environmental contamination is not a problem even though there are nucleus of considerable size.
Habits. Even though Spain is slightly above the average in the European Union in terms of bad habits such as smoking, the downward tendency continues. In addition its good climate favours the practice of sport among the majority of the population, benefiting health and, in a direct way the possibility of successfully undergoing fertility treatment.
Diet. Our diet has an important impact on fertility, both if searching naturally as well as by reproductive medicine treatments. In this respect, Alicante and the Valencian Community have much to offer: the Mediterranean diet, famous for its fresh natural products, a big plus point for those looking to start a family. Bad diet is always an impediment.
Surrounding area: The Valencian Community combines the uniqueness of its territory with all the other factors which help create the ideal environment to promote success in fertility treatments: green zones, mountains, rivers, thriving cities with low pollution levels , sea, islands and a rich natural heritage gives life and energy to the population, which in turn generates higher levels of well-being.
Happiness. This can sound a bit wishy washy, but happiness – or shall we say the absence of stress-is another of the important factors which affects fertility and especially male fertility. The Valencian Community is the third happiest in Spain according to a study by the BBVA Foundation: and this absence of pressure means improved sperm quality.
All these factors, although they are not individually critical in terms of the success of fertility treatment, create a favourable environment which can help people who are looking to form a family using reproductive medicine. For this reason UR Vistahermosa Alicante and UR Valencia´s fertility clinics in Spain are an excellent option not only because of its humane and technical team but also because of the environment.
