CAUSES AND FACTORS THAT AFFECT FERTILITY

According to most studies As per the law of nature to reproduce we require both Female cell (Egg) and male cell (Sperm) hence causes of infertility in a couple may be due to Female partner (in 40% of infertile cases), male Partner in (40% of infertile cases) or both (in 20 % of infertile cases). [1]

 

FEMALE FACTORS

For fertilization we need egg (ovum) and for successful pregnancy (growth of baby) we require womb (uterus), so reproductive health of female partner is of utmost importance. Various medical conditions that can cause infertility are 

  • POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME (PCOS)

One of the most common causes i.e. PCOS can lead to irregular or delayed periods also. Due to hormonal imbalance several small cysts develop on the outer edges of ovaries, and stop growth of follicles.

  • PROBLEM WITH OVULATION

Since conception depends upon the ovulation, any issues with the functioning of ovaries and hence affecting ovulation can lead to infertility

  • FALLOPIAN TUBES

Fallopian tubes are the site of fertilization of ovum and sperm. If it is blocked or swollen it leads to infertility.

  • FIBROIDS OR CYST 

If uterus has cysts and/or fibroids it hinders the physical form of the uterus.

  • LIFESTYLE ISSUES

 With lives getting really stressful, several women fall prey to this silent cause of infertility. Apart from stress of workplace, obesity, smoking, alcoholism, exposure to chemicals, drugs, or any existing medical condition is also among the causes of infertility.

 

MALE FACTORS

  • OLIGOZOOSPERMIA

  Or Low sperm count is one of the most common reasons for male infertility. 

  • AZOOSPERMIA

Or Nil sperm count is another major cause of male infertility. It can arise either because of no production of sperms in testes (due to hormonal imbalance or genetic) or because of some blockage in male gentile system.

  • EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS

Any sort of existing medical condition such as diabetes, hypertension, trauma, infection or any condition that is related to the reproductive system, can lead to infertility in men. Radiotherapy treatments in cancer patients also play a role in infertility

  • LIFESTYLE ISSUES 

Sometimes, lifestyle choices also cause infertility. It may include obesity, consumption of alcohol on regular basis, smoking, drugs, overuse of electronic gadgets, very tight clothing etc.

  • ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS

Similarly, certain environmental toxins such as overexposure to chemicals, pesticides, etc can cause infertility.

 

INFERTILITY TREATMENTS

 Whatever it might be; the treatment depends primarily on the cause of the condition. After making diagnosis and finding the root cause of infertility, treatment is given to female/ male/or both as the case in the form of oral medicines. If after medication infertility still persist, than we can use ART (Assisted Reproductive Techniques) which are of great help. These are

  • Artificial Insemination 
  • In-vitro Fertilization (IVF)
  • Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
  • Gamete Intrafallopian Transfer (GIFT)

Whatsoever may be the cause of infertility, now with so much advancement of medical technology it’s not a farfetched dream to bear one’s own child biologically. Even age is no bar to fulfill the dream of parenthood.
