The Cause Of Infertility – A Vexing Problem
The causes of infertility in women are wide and varied. Why are some women left to ponder what having children would be like while others enjoy trouble free fertility ? Infertility is described as a disease of the reproductive system. The result is the impairment of one of mother nature’s most basic functions; the function of having children.
In the US, over 6 million people are affected by infertility and over 40% of these are women. The cause of infertility in women vary from genetic causes to ovarian and ovulation difficulties.
Highlighting Internal Factors
General factors would include diseases such as diabetes, thyroid or any defects and disorders of the liver and kidneys. Other than that, psychological or mental problems can also be a cause of infertility.
Another common cause of infertility in women is ovarian and ovulation disorder. Women with an ovulation disorder are said to not ovulate at all or they may ovulate irregularly, compared to the normal ovulation during the 28-day cycle. Other ovarian causes would include the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian neoplasm, diminished ovarian reserve, luteal dysfunction, premature menopauses, Turner syndrome, and so on. Most of these disorders prevent the release of a mature egg from the ovaries, or have hormone imbalances, or produce eggs that become damaged or have chromosomal defects.
Besides that, tube or peritoneal factors also can be a cause of infertility among women. This would include Endometriosis or the uterine lining (the endometrial tissue) growing outside the uterus or it is unprepared for egg implantation, blockage of the fallopian tubes which prevents an egg from traveling to the uterus, and many more.
The next cause of infertility among women is Hypothalamic-pituitary factors, which would include the common hypopituitarism, hyperprolactinemia, kallmann syndrome and other hypothalamic dysfunctions.
Cervical, vaginal and uterine problems could also be a cause of infertility. Uterine problems would include problems with the structure of the uterus itself, uterine fibroids which causes congenital anomalies (birth defects) and repeated miscarriages, Asherman’s syndrome, or any other uterine malformations. Vaginal Problems would include vaginal obstruction which prevents the sperms to travel to the tubes and vaginismus. Cervical problems would include the side effects of anti-sperm antibodies, insufficient cervical mucus which is needed for the sperm to travel and survive, and cervical stenosis.
Another cause of infertility, although not so significant is genetic causes. This would include androgen insensitivity syndrome, fibroids, and various other conditions.
Dealing with internal factors is one thing. The cause of infertility can also be contributed to external factors. Studies have highlighted areas that people should seriously consider such as smoking, passive and non passive, chemicals, alcohol and food additives. If you suspect you may be infertile, waste no time and set up an appointment with your physician.
