One partner may be unable to assist in conception, or a woman may be unable to carry a pregnancy to term. It’s usually defined as not being able to conceive after a year of regular sexual interaction without the use of birth control.
Causes of male infertility.
1. Abnormal sperm production or function.
Due to undescended testicles, genetic faults, health conditions such as diabetes, or infections like chlamydia, gonorrhoea, mumps, or HIV, irregular sperm production or function can be caused by infections like chlamydia, gonorrhoea, mumps, or HIV. Varicocele, or swelling of the veins in the testes, may have an effect on sperm quality.
2. Problems with the delivery of sperm .
Intimate difficulties, such as premature ejaculation; specific genetic illnesses, such as cystic fibrosis; structural abnormalities, such as a blockage in the testicle; or damage or injury to the reproductive organs can all cause problems with sperm distribution.
3. Overexposure to certain environmental factors.
Overexposure to specific environmental circumstances can be caused by pesticides and other chemicals, as well as radiation. High blood pressure and depression, as well as cigarette smoking, alcohol, marijuana, anabolic steroids, and antibiotics, can all affect fertility. Heat exposure, such as that seen in saunas or hot tubs, can raise body temperature and cause sperm production to be disrupted.
Causes of infertility in females.
1. Ovulation disorders.
Ovulation abnormalities are problems with egg release from the ovaries. Hormonal abnormalities, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, are among them. Hyperprolactinemia, or having too much prolactin — the hormone that drives breast milk production — can also cause ovulation problems.
Thyroid hormone levels that are excessively high (hyperthyroidism) or too low (hypothyroidism) might disrupt the menstrual cycle and lead to infertility. Excessive activity, eating disorders, and malignancies are all possible underlying reasons.
2. Uterine or cervical abnormalities.
Abnormalities with the cervix, polyps in the uterus, or the shape of the uterus are all examples of uterine or cervical abnormalities. Uterine fibroids are noncancerous (benign) tumours that block the fallopian tubes or prevent a fertilised egg from implanting in the uterus, resulting in infertility.
3. Fallopian tube damage or blockage.
Inflammation of the fallopian tube is a common cause of fallopian tube injury or occlusion (salpingitis). Pelvic inflammatory illness, which is typically caused by a STD’s, endometriosis, or adhesions, can cause this.
4. Primary ovarian insufficiency (early menopause).
Menstruation stops before the age of 40 when the ovaries quit working. Although the cause is generally unknown, immune system illnesses, some genetic conditions such as Turner syndrome or carriers of Fragile X syndrome, and radiation or chemotherapy treatment have all been linked to early menopause.
Prevention.
Some types of infertility cannot be avoided. However, there are a few things you may do to improve your chances of getting pregnant.
1.For the highest pregnancy rate, have frequent intercourse numerous times around the period of ovulation. Intercourse that begins at least five days before ovulation and lasts until the day after ovulation increases your chances of becoming pregnant. For most women with 28-day menstrual cycles, ovulation happens in the middle of the cycle, halfway between menstrual periods.
2. Avoid drug and tobacco use, as well as excessive alcohol consumption, which can lead to male infertility.
3. Stay away from hot tubs and hot baths because they can temporarily impair sperm production and motility.
4. Avoid toxins from the workplace or the environment that can affect sperm production.
5.Limit prescription and nonprescription medications that may affect fertility. Discuss any medications you take on a regular basis with your doctor, but don’t discontinue taking prescription medications without first seeking medical counsel….CLICK HERE FOR MORE ARTICLE>>>
