At some point of time every man and woman thinks of
extending their family
which means they want to settle down and have kids. But
in today’s fast paced life one’s lifestyle plays a pivotal role in fertility.
There are numerous issues which creates hindrances in becoming a parent. Here
are 6 common causes which impairs infertility, please have a look:
Blocked Fallopian tubes: Blocked or damaged Fallopian tubes prevent sperm from getting to
your egg for fertilization. This condition also prevents the fertilized egg
from getting to your uterus. For a successful pregnancy to take place, your
fertilized egg has to move to the uterus for growth. It is usually caused by
pelvic inflammatory disease, sexually transmitted infections (such as
chlamydia), and any history of uterine infection caused by abortion or
miscarriage.
PCOS:
Polycystic ovarian syndrome is very common today and it affects one in 10
women. It is a hormonal disorder, where a small cyst grows at outer edges of
the ovaries and it makes women to produce larger male hormones. Irregular
periods, acne, obesity, unwanted hair growth are few symptoms of PCOS.
Hypothyroidism:
Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) is a condition in which the thyroid gland
doesn't produce enough of certain important hormones. For women, there is a
link between hypothyroidism and infertility. Low levels of thyroid hormone can
interfere with ovulation, which impairs fertility.
Endometriosis:
Endometriosis affects an estimated 1 in 10 women during their reproductive
years. It is the main reason for stomach pain and inability to conceive in
women between 25 to 30 years of age. Though it's not always the case, the
condition has been linked to a higher risk for infertility because it may
influence egg quality, disturbs your menstrual cycle, or might cause higher
levels of inflammation.
Fibroids:
Fibroids are non-cancerous muscular growths in your uterus. It grows on your
uterus lining, inside the uterine cavity, within the wall of your uterus or
even on the outer surface of your uterus. These benign growths sometimes have
no pain but they in most cases cause heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged
periods and pelvic pain which impair infertility.
Diminished egg quantity and
quality: Women are born with N number of eggs but as you age
the number of eggs quantity and quality starts diminishing at a rapid pace
which contributes to infertility since the older you get the lower quality eggs
your body will produce.
