Tulsi Gabbard, the former US Congresswoman for Hawaii's second congressional district from 2013 to 2021, recently opened up about her unexplained infertility diagnosis last week. Infertility affects ten to 15% of the US population in the United States. In 30% of those cases, the cause is unexplained, which translates into around 12 million women in the US who struggle to conceive a child.
According to Dr. Jennifer Hintzsche, CEO of PherDal Fertility Science, unexplained infertility clinically correlates with dysbiosis of the reproductive microbiome. "Understanding this dynamic has been called the new frontier for reproductive science by world-renowned clinicians," said Hintzsche.
