Infertility
Infertility defines a woman's condition
of not being able to get pregnant despite trying for a year. Pregnancy
results after a continuum of events. Ovaries release an egg. It
goes through the fallopian tube and reaches the uterus. A man's
sperm must fertilize the egg to attain pregnancy. Once the egg fertilizes,
it attaches itself to the uterus.
Causes of infertility Ovulation
problems are the main cause of infertility in women. Eggs will not
reach the uterus without ovulation. Irregular periods or no periods
are the clear indication of an infertility problem. Also, factors
like stress, diet, athletic training and pituitary gland tumor can
affect the hormonal balance of a woman.
Female infertility can also begin
with aging. After 35, a woman's ability to produce eggs declines.
Infertility is a worrying factor in about one third of the couples
where the woman has passed 35. When she reaches menopause, the monthly
periods stop. The production of eggs also ceases.
Blocked fallopian tubes lead to infertility
in women. It may be the result of pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic
pregnancy or endometriosis.
Testing infertility
If you are facing problems conceiving after trying
for a year, you can get medical help. If you are above 35, you have
the reason to believe that there is a problem. A medical evaluation,
which involves both physical examinations and identifying sexual
histories of both partners, is encouraged to find out the cause.
If there aren't any visible problems noted, they will have to go
for further tests.
The first step for a woman is to find
out whether she is ovulating each month. You have the ovulation
test kit, which is available in all drug stores. These are some
of the common tests:
-
Laparoscopy: An instrument called laparoscope
pictures inside the abdomen. It examines the tubes and other
vital organs inside the body
-
Hysterosalpinorram: The fallopian tubes
and uterus are injected with a dye, It indicates that they are
open and shows the shape of uterus
Treating infertility
Doctors treat most infertility cases with drugs
or surgery . Women with ovulation problems take various fertility
drugs after consulting a doctor. Some types of fertility drugs push
women into multiple births.
Doctors initialize a surgery
to woman's ovaries, fallopian tubes or uterus to repair the damage.
