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 small cysts grow 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.
