Origin woman

ORIGIN WOMAN THE NEW ALLY FOR THE FERTILITY OF THE COUPLE:
IT INCREASES THE SPERM MOTILITY
AND OPTIMIZES THE VAGINAL ENVIRONMENT.
  • Uses

This product is indicated to support fertility.
Origin Woman is a medical device aiming at supporting natural fertility and improving sperm motility. Thus, it protects the sperm from the vaginal acid pH and promotes its survival.

  • How to use

One pack of Origin Donna contains 6 disposable applicators, hygienic and easy to use.

HOW TO USE: one application into the vagina 5 mins prior to the sexual intercourse, preferably during ovulation.

  • Risk factors

The most common Infertility Risk Factors
About 15% of couples of fertile age experience infertility problems and in Italy, it is estimated that more than 45.000 new couples each year will have troubles conceiving a child. Infertility recognizes both male (35%) and female (35%) causes. Nevertheless, 20/30 % of cases are affected by an idiopathic infertility (the cause is unknown and not identified). The risk factors are numerous.

Among male factors:

• Sperm anomalies
• Abnormal erections
• Abnormal ejaculation
• Semen abnormalities
• Trauma to the genitalia • Varicocele
• Endocrine diseases

Among female factors:

• Cervical factors: when the mucus in the cervix is hostile to the flow of sperm due to an estrogen deficiency, infectious factors or past surgery which damaged the cervical glands. Cervical infertility can also be due, in rare cases, to the female production of antibodies directed against the sperm.

• Tubal and pelvic inflammatory pathologies and infections. • Hormone disorders
• Reproductive system congenital malformations.

In addition to these factors, others are aging, unhealthy life style, smoking and genetic polymor- phism which can negatively affect the reproductive prognosis of a couple.

  • Why Origin woman?

The alterations in the quality of the cervical mucus and the conditions of the vaginal pH can negatively affect sperm motility and capacitation. The sperm capacitation represents all the physiological changes spermatozoids endure to be able to fertilize the egg-cell: this happens when, after the ejaculation, spermatozoids reach out the female genital tract. Among the challenges the spermatozoids need to face are reduced production of cervical mucus, reduced receptivity of the cervical mucus, ph abnormalities and sperm anomalies. Origin Woman is a medical device created to help sperm activity, aiming at increasing sperm motility and survival. This can be achieved with:

1) an improvement of the vaginal environment (pH and viscosity)
2) the device works as a barrier for the sperm against the vaginal mucus 3) an improvement of sperm cells physiology.

Each component of Origin Woman has been carefully studied to: – protect the sperm form an acid environment
– promote the sperm survival
– improve motility during migration towards egg-cell

– increase the buffering capacity of the vaginal acid pH and improve motility.
