Information on Infertility You Should Know
There is quite a bit of information on infertility out there if you are trying to conceive.
Because infertility issues crop up more these days, it's valuable to at least acquaint yourself with knowledge about it.
You won't know if you will have problems conceiving until you start trying.
Normally if it takes you 6-12 months with no success, then you have infertility issues.
For successful conception and pregnancy to occur there are things that must take place.
First being that the woman needs to be able to release at least one egg for fertilization.
It takes the hormones to be in balance in order for this to happen.
Then once the egg has been release - the sperm must be present to fertilize it.
After fertilization, the fertilized egg must travel through the fallopian tubes and on into the uterus.
Once it reaches the uterus, it must find a nice thick spot to implant.
Then the hormones take over again to grow and nurture the baby.
Infertility issues crop up if there's a problem along the way.
Unbalanced hormones, scar tissue, male factor infertility, thin uterine lining are just a few reasons that women are infertile.
Infertility affects some 10% of women in the child bearing age (15-44) in the United States alone.
That's about roughly 6.
1 million women each year who are battling some sort of infertility issue.
Infertility equally affects men.
One-third are male factor infertility.
One-third are women issues and one-third is considered "unexplained infertility".
The top causes of infertility in men have to do with sperm production.
The main problem is called varicocele.
This is when the veins in the testicles are too big.
Bigger veins means more heat and the heat will kill or limit the production of sperm.
Other issues are the mobility of the sperm (their ability to move up through the uterine cavity and into the fallopian tubes and motility (their quality).
The main causes of infertility in women are hormone imbalances.
If the endocrine system dysfunctions it will cause the reproductive cycle to not operate properly.
Block fallopian tubes due to scar tissue or adhesions, caused from pervious surgeries, endometrosis or PID (pelvic inflammatory disease.
Scar tissue or adhesions in the uterus cause from previous surgeries, endometriosis or PID or uterine fibroids.
PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) is probably the number one cause of infertility in women.
The good news is that it is fairly easy these days to combat a lot of the infertility issues especially with women.
With the use of IVF, GIFT, ZIFT and ART, invasive procedures are making it possible for couples to conceive and carry a baby when years ago there were no options.
