Infertility

Infertility is not getting pregnant, despite having carefully timed unprotected sex for at least one year. Infertility may also refer to a person having issues staying pregnant i.e., miscarriages or stillbirths. It is estimated that 1 in 10 women between the ages of 15 and 44 have trouble conceiving. Research has shown that in about one-third of couples that struggle with infertility, the issue is with the woman. Another third man is the one responsible for infertility. In the last third, the reason for infertility is unknown. Yes, you read right. Infertility can come from either the male or female or even both. The causes of infertility depend on who is infertile.

CAUSES OF INFERTILITY IN FEMALES.

For a woman to conceive, an egg must be released from one of the ovaries. After it is released, a sperm must join the egg so as to fertilize it. The eggs then travel to the uterus. When it does, the embryo (fertilized egg) attaches itself to the uterine wall. During the process of the egg being released, a lot of factors can prevent it from being fertilized, or not released at all. Here are some of the factors

Age: The number of eggs produced decreases with age. s conceiving their first child. In couples with a woman under age 30, about 13% report problems with conception.

Menopause: Menopause usually occurs around age 50-earlier for some, and symptoms include irregular or absent periods. As a woman grows older there is a decline in ovarian functions. Ovulation might not occur as frequently as it did before.

Blocked fallopian tubes: if the tubes are blocked, then there is no way for the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterine wall.

Weight changes: A woman is more likely to experience infertility if she is overweight, underweight, or obese.
