8 Common Causes Of Infertility In Women by Jayclinics(m): 2:41pm On Aug 15, 2014
The probability of the female being the cause of unfruitful marriage is the same as that of the male. I can remember posting the causes of male infertility sometime last year. This time around I want to deal on the causes of infertility in women which has ravaged the life of approximately 30% of couples here in Africa. Infertility in women is becoming more common in our society with increasing number of females developing this condition. Infertility in women has being the cause of so many broken marriages globally especially in these part of the world, Africa where the two couples involved will always receive direct and indirect heavy pressure from relatives, friends and busy bodies. Knowing the causes can help you in a million ways, at least it will help you know what the doctor is talking about and also make you aware of various lifestyles you have to drop in other not to patronize this factors. The Causes of infertility in women includes the following.

Infections:
Bacteria(s), virus and fungi infections has proved to be the cause of 35% of infertility in women. Harmful microorganisms will usually inflict inflammatory changes on the oviduct and peritoneum, interfering seriously with ovarian functions . This is called salpingitis. Early detection of infertility related infections has always proven to be a wining advantage when treating and preventing the infection from causing infertility in women.



Endometriosis

This is a condition which occurs when the endometrial tissues is found elsewhere than in the smooth lining of the uterus. It usually grows on the abdominal – pelvic pain. Symptoms if present includes a painful menstruation, painful intercourse, heavy bleeding. Oestrogen which is increased during the peak of childbirth age is believed to be the cause of endometriosis.


Hormonal Imbalance
Most women have problems with ovulation, which is the release of an ovum (egg) from the ovary. Some hormones control the mechanisms at which this phenomenon works. The eggs release and thickening of endometrial doesn’t occur like normal. Fertility drugs such I.V.F is currently being used as remedy for this.

Poor quality of eggs
The number of eggs produced by a female is limited. While in the male it isn’t. In fact the male’s testicles continue to produce sperm, ready at any giving seconds to procreate. This explains why some men will go on and on even when they are far gone when it comes to age. The number of eggs the ovary produce during ovulation and the quality of the eggs can decide whether she will take in suffer from infertility in women. Most women with this difficulty will either go for I.V.F or they enroll for eggs donations.

Blocked tubules
This is another factor. The blockage of fallopian tubes will prevent the male’s sperm from through to meet with the eggs or the fertilized egg from getting to the uterus to implant on its wall. This blockage may be caused by pelvic inflammations which can be caused by an S.T.D’s

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
This is caused by the inability of some small follicles inside the ovary to develop into larger ones that has the capability to release eggs. Symptoms include, excessive hair growth, obesity and acne. Various fertility drugs and I.V.F can help in the treating this disease.



Lifestyle And Habits
Most females live the type of life that will always send there world crashing down on them later on in the future. A girl that chooses to be a smoker or picks up the habit of smoking has 30% probability of suffering from infertility in women. Smoking is detrimental to health and causes series of cancer, tubal changes, cervical changes, hormonal and gamates changes. Alcohol can also be harmful to the reproductive organs.

The Effects Of Previous Abortions
When young girls of nowadays take in prematurely, maybe during there college days, the first thing that runs into her mind is either surgical abortion or abortion pills. While surgical abortion can be very dangerous and could cost your life even if you patronize a professional doctor, it can mare your chances of getting pregnant in the near future. Abortion pills are more common as it has turned to a frequent routine drug for any girl that just finished having an unprotected sex with her boyfriend. The effect of abortion pills by which is causes infertility in women is that it can destroy the walls of your uterus, making the smooth endometrial tissue rough and unsuitable for the implantation of an embryo. While surgical abortions can destroy the fallopian tube permanently.
