What Is Infertility?
Having and taking care of your own flesh and blood is a joy to any parent. Pregnancy, however, seems hard to achieve – at least for some couples. Couples who cannot conceive after about a year, or have achieved pregnancy but couldn't carry it to full term are described as infertile.
Infertility is made almost synonymous with female biological problems. There are a lot of causes, and women bite a huge chunk of it. Other causes are the result of sperm disorders in a man or even inexplicable factors. For women, they should have a regular cycle. Infertility often stems from ovulation problems. Others come from disorders such as tubal blockage, uterine problems, and recent or previous tubal ligation.
For women, age is also a factor. The chances of getting pregnant are reduced as women mature. About 1000 eggs are discharged or lost by the female body each month. There is also PCOS, endometriosis, and STDs that can gradually worsen and impair fertility.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, or PID, hampers fertility. The inflammation occurs when cervical and vaginal infections such as Chlamydia and gonorrhea are left untreated. When bacteria find its way to the fallopian tubes and ovaries, it causes scar tissues that can block the fallopian tubes. IVF, a medical intervention, can be performed to achieve pregnancy, but only after treating PID.
Polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS, is a disorder that upsets the hormonal balance – causing infertility. The regular cycle of women is what's being targeted by PCOS. This irregularity in ovulation in turn causes infertility. Metformin and medications of the same nature are used to treat PCOS through encouraging insulin absorption and hormonal balance restoration.
It should be pretty obvious at this point that hormone levels play a role in infertility. Hormones are released by the pituitary, adrenal, and thyroid glands, as well as the pancreas, ovaries, testes, and hypothalamus. If there is a problem with any of the above, the next problem is usually infertility.
Along with the complicated medical disorders, there are simple causes of infertility – lifestyle. Excessive smoking, drinking, drug abuse, dieting, eating, and STDs can all hamper fertility.
Stress is seen as the side effect of your hormones going on overdrive. There are some cases where the cause of infertility is idiopathic. This means, the cause is unexplained. All couples need when faced with infertility problems is emotional support – because when infertility causes stress, stress causes infertility. Eliminating stress, of course, should not be forgotten.
