CAUSES OF FEMALE INFERTILITY

 13 FEMALE INFERTILITY CAUSES

Infertility is the inability to conceive after a year or consecutive years of trying. 

Infertility may also apply to women who can conceive but are unable to maintain their pregnancy.

For a woman to become pregnant, one of her ovaries must release an egg, which travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus, where it is fertilized by a sperm and then attaches to the lining of the uterus. Infertility results from any issue with any of these mechanisms.

CAUSES OF FEMALE INFERTILITY.

13 reasons for infertility are listed below.  ⬇️

1. MENTAL OR PHYSICAL STRESS:

Each month, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) work to promote ovulation.

Periods that are irregular or nonexistent can occur from the pituitary gland's ability to produce them differently as a response to physical or mental stress.

2.  AFFECTED FALLOPIAN TUBES:

It becomes harder for the egg to make contact with the sperm when the fallopian tube is injured. Fallopian tubes may become damaged as a result of pelvic infections and operations.

3.  CERVICAL ISSUES:

Due to a past cervical surgery treatment or abnormal mucus production, some women may have a cervical condition that prevents the sperm from passing through the cervical canal.

4. UNDERSTANDABLE INFERTILITY

According to estimates, 20% of couples who experience infertility issues struggle with the issue of being unable to pinpoint the exact cause of their infertility utilizing the tools at their disposal.

5. AGE:

Age has a significant impact on female fertility since beyond the age of 30, a woman's chances of becoming pregnant decline by 3–5% annually.

6. PREMATURE MENOPAUSE:

Some women stop having periods and start menopause earlier than expected.

Extremely fit women with a history of low body weight and intense activity are cited as contributing factors to this issue, as is the depletion of the egg's natural supply.

7. OVARIAN INSUFFICIENCY:

This condition is brought on by either an autoimmune reaction in which your body unintentionally assaults ovarian tissues or by the early loss of eggs from your ovaries as a result of hereditary disorders.

8. MEDICINES:

Some medications used to treat various conditions can lead to infertility because they affect the pituitary gland to release too much prolactin, which lowers the amount of estrogen produced as a result.

9. OVARIES WITH SCARS:

Ovulation may fail as a result of physical damage to the ovaries, and you may become pregnant even when you are not ovulating.

 10. INFECTION: 

Inflammation brought on by bacterial and viral infections acquired during intercourse can result in scarring and damage to the fallopian tube.

 11. ENDOMETRIOSIS: 

It is characterized by the uterine lining growing too quickly.

Urinary urgency, rectal bleeding, heavy, painful, and protracted menstrual cycles, as well as premenstrual spotting, are all indications of endometriosis.

12. BODILY WEIGHT:

Significantly overweight or underweight women may experience difficulties conceiving.

13. CAUSES OF UTERINE:

Your chances of becoming pregnant can be impacted by the presence of fibroids and polyps.

Outlook.

There are more options than ever for couples who struggle with infertility and those who want to start a family later in life.

The first cďhild born as a result of IVF happened in 1978. Today, assisted reproductive technology is used in the conception of roughly 2.1 per cent of all babies born each year in the United States (ART).

More people may now obtain fertility treatment as new technology becomes available, and success rates and safety are always rising. Although there are programs that can assist with this, financing fertility therapy can also be expensive.
