Unlike other disorders like stomach upset, wherein the obvious signs are vomiting or nausea and acidity, there are no overt symptoms or signs that explain infertility in a person. The main symptom of infertility is the inability to get pregnant. A menstrual cycle that's too long (35 days or more), too short (less than 21 days), irregular or absent can mean that the woman is not ovulating regularly.
However, in women, many factors can interrupt ovulation and semination at a number of steps. The most common reasons for female infertility or for not being able to conceive are given below:
● Damaged fallopian tubes
● Hormonal issues
● Cervical issues
● Uterine problems
Fallopian tube: With damaged or blocked fallopian tubes the egg into the uterus is prevented sperm from being fertilized because they aren’t able to get to the egg. This may be caused by an infection of the uterus and fallopian tubes from sexually transmitted infections; older surgery in the abdomen or pelvis.
Hormonal issues:
Polycystic Ovary Disorder is the most common cause of female infertility. It causes a hormone imbalance, which affects ovulation. The symptoms for PCOD include gain weight, unusual hair growth on the face or body, and acne.
Premature ovarian failure is caused by one prematurely loosing of eggs from the ovary possibly as genetic history.
Hypothalamic dysfunction is caused by tremendous physical or emotional stress, a very high or very low body weight, or a recent sudden weight gain or loss. These factors can disrupt the two hormones produced from the hypothalamus that spurs ovulation.
Cervical issues like Endometriosis occurs when uterus tissues implants in other parts. The excessive growth or removal of this growth can be scarring and block fallopian tubes and keep an egg being inseminated. Furthermore, a fertilized egg finds it hard to implant itself because of the extra lining in the uterus.
Uterine issues happen because the uterus is abnormally shaped. This can make getting pregnant or remaining pregnant difficult. The narrowing of the cervix which is usually caused by a genetic malformation.
Other reasons for infertility in women may be caused by the way to prevent infertility and female infertility treatment is by understanding and managing the following:
Alcohol: Stick to moderate or quit alcohol consumption, it can hurt the health of the unborn baby.
Weight: Stress can lead to one gaining weight, and invariably make ovulation problematic. Being overweight or even underweight can cause issues in ovulation.
Smoking: One of the leading negative effects on fertility is smoking. Inhaling or smoking tobacco/smoke can also be damaging to the growth of the unborn baby.
Age: The quality and quantity of a woman's eggs begin to decline with increasing age. In the mid-30s
Along with the above, managing stress by meditating or yoga and controlling caffeine intake may also help in bettering the fertility of the woman. Studies have shown that couple who are experiencing emotional stress are less likely to conceive. The best medicine for female infertility is through prevention first and consulting for female evaluation for infertility treatment.
