Infertility Information

By Linda Golden

One of the greatest joys for a person is the ability to becoming a parent and sharing life with a child. Unfortunately it may not come true to some people who find it difficult to conceive. A lot of people experience infertility or the persistent inability to achieve conception and produce an offspring.

Studies say that majority of the cases of infertility deal with the women. They are main causes of the different conditions that women go through. The remaining cases of infertility are due to the males' sperm disorders and other unexplained causes. Proper and regular menstrual processes cause a woman to become pregnant once fertilization occurs. One of the most common causes of sterility is a problem with ovulation. Infertility can be caused by uterine problems, preceding tubal ligation and uterine problems among others.

A woman's age deeply affects her state of fertility. As a woman ages her ability to conceive naturally and normally decreases. As a rule, a woman loses approximately a thousand egg cells a month. Certain transmitter diseases, or PCO as well as endometriosis, are conditions that could eventually lead to infertility.

An other cause of female sterility is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease or PID. It is a severe inflammation of the pelvis caused by untreated vaginal or cervical infections such as gonorrhea or Chlamydia. These diseases can cause scarring in the fallopian tubes which subsequently causes a blockage when bacteria make its way through towards the uterus, ovaries and surrounding tissues. However, once PID has been successfully treated, pregnancy can often be achieved through in vitro fertilization

Another leading root of infertility is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). It is a hormonal disorder that causes a disruption in a woman's normal ovulation cycle. A woman with PCOS becomes sterile because of the inability to ovulate normally or regularly. It is possible to treat PCOS by correcting the body's hormone levels through a body's ability to absorb insulin.

If you're a couple hoping to conceive then you should keep an eye on the hormone levels in order to do so successfully. These hormones are created by the pancreas, ovaries , adrenal and thyroid glands. Any diseases that will affect any of these can lead to infertility.

Non medical reasons that cause infertility include the couple's lifestyles. There are several factors that can lead to a person to be sterile, these factors include smoking, too much alcohol consumption, the use of illicit medication, weight problems and so on.

Unsuccessful attempts to conceive can cause extreme stress for a couple who is trying really hard to do so. Not to mention that sometimes doctors are unable to pinpoint the problems. this is called unexplained fertility. Another way to take care of this is for the couple to try and not put too much pressure on themselves and try to get a better understanding of the woman's ovulation cycle in order to conceive successfully. The essential idea is to be as stress - free as possible. - 33375
