1 in 75 couples are actively waiting to adopt a child.
The causes of infertility are different in men and women.
The medical causes of infertility in women are:
*1* *Irregular periods*
Women who do not menstruate regularly have more difficulty in getting pregnant. Irregular periods indicate inconsistent ovulation, and conceiving without an egg is impossible. Therefore, the less you ovulate, the less are your chances of getting pregnant
*2. *Endometriosis*
This is a chronic disorder of the reproductive system in which the endometrial cells grow outside the uterus. It can block the fallopian tubes preventing fertilization or the fertilized egg from traveling towards the fallopian tubes or could make the environment unhealthy around the egg.
This condition can cause irregular and/ or painful periods, severe pain while pe*******on during s*x, painful bowel movements, and frequent urination along with a feeling of bladder being full during menstrual cycle, or chronic pelvic pain
*3. *Ovulation problems*
Almost 20 to 40% of infertility problems in women are caused due to irregular ovulation, which prevents the release of mature eggs from the ovaries. Where some women can never ovulate, others ovulate once in a few months. Hormonal fluctuations, excess weight gain or loss, excessive exercise, or severe stress could be the key reasons of ovulatory disorders
*4. *Polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS)*
It is a complex condition caused by a hormonal imbalance, which interrupts ovulation. Small cysts are formed in the ovaries that disrupt ripening of ovarian follicle and maturation. The other possible symptoms include irregular menstruation, weight gain, excess hair growth, and acne.
*5. *Tubal diseases*
*Damaged or blocked fallopian tubes*
prevent eggs from reaching the uterus and s***m from reaching the egg, thus preventing conception. These conditions could arise due to s*xually transmitted diseases, pelvic inflammatory diseases, or sterilization surgeries
or endometriosis.
*6. *Egg factor*
The egg quality and quantity decline around late 30s and early 40s. Women are born with approximately one to two million eggs at birth and the eggs gradually lessen to 300, 000 by puberty. Then about 300 mature and release through ovulation. And by menopause, you have minimal eggs left.
What could be the possible treatment?
As the loss of eggs is an irreversible process, you should try to plan pregnancy in your fertile age. Also, try losing weight if you are overweight, quit smoking, manage thyroid issues (if you have any), and take supplements including fish oils, prenatal vitamins, probiotics, vitamin D, and Coenzyme Q10. These can improve egg quality
*7. *Low progesterone levels*
After ovulation, the corpus luteum (the remnant egg follicle) produces progesterone to support embryo implantation during early pregnancy. The deficiency of progesterone in this phase is called a Luteal Phase Defect (LPD), and may be one of the reasons for infertility. Even if you conceive, the placenta and fetus would not grow further, causing non-viable fetus or early fetal loss. Other medical conditions such as prolactin or thyroid abnormalities could lead to abnormal luteal functioning
18. *Cervical mucus problems*
Cervical mucus usually changes its consistency to clear and elastic forms so that the s***ms can easily move through the mucus into female reproductive organs. In a case of cervical mucus abnormalities, the mucus prevents the s***m from passing through. The mucus may contract an infection, or contain antibodies that kill s***ms. These problems are encountered in women with chronic cervicitis or a narrowed cervix from prior surgery
19. *S***m problems*
Poor s***m mobility, low or no s***m count, and abnormally shaped s***ms can decrease a man’s fertility.
20. *Tube blockages*
Blockages in the epididymis (a long coiled tube that lies behind testicles and stores mature s***ms) and vas deferens (the muscular tube that carries s***m from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct) could adversely affect the transport of fertile s***ms. The obstruction in the tubes could be due to infections including gonorrhea or chlamydia, birth defects, or injuries. Also, varicoceles (enlarged veins in the sc***um) will affect s***m mobility .For check up call or what's up.0720209384 ...or 0773289347.
