Infertility
Infertility has been defined as the inability of a couple to conceive after one year of regular intercourse without the use of contraceptives. The definition has also come to include couples who are able to conceive but, due to repeated miscarriages, are unable to carry a pregnancy to term.
Reproductive endocrinologists, the doctors specializing in infertility, consider a couple to be infertile if:
- The couple has not conceived after 12 months of contraceptive-free intercourse if the female is under the age of 34
- the couple has not conceived after 6 months of contraceptive-free intercourse if the female is over the age of 35 (declining egg quality of females over the age of 35 account for the age-based discrepancy as when to seek medical intervention)
- The female is incapable of carrying a pregnancy to term.
Female infertility may be due to:
- Problems with a fertilized egg or embryo being able to survive once it is attached to the lining of the uterus
- Problems with the eggs being able to attach to the lining of the uterus
- Problems with the eggs being able to move from the ovary to the uterus
- Problems with the ovaries producing eggs
Female infertility may be caused by:
- Autoimmune disorders, such as antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)
- Clotting disorders
- Defects of the uterus and cervix (myomas or fibroids, polyps, birth defects)
- Excessive exercising, eating disorders, or poor nutrition
- Exposure to certain medications or toxins
- Heavy use of alcohol
- Hormone imbalance or deficiencies
- Long-term (chronic) disease, such as diabetes
- Obesity
- Ovarian cysts and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Pelvic infection or pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
- Scarring from sexually transmitted disease or endometriosis
- Tumour
Male infertility
The most common cause of male infertility is a varicocele .This is when the veins in the scrotum (the skin “sack” that hangs beneath the penis) are dilated (enlarged) on one or both sides. This heats the inside of the scrotum and may affect sperm production. A blockage in a man’s reproductive system may cause male infertility. Some medicines can also cause infertility.
Other causes of male infertility may include:
- low sperm count
- sperm that are abnormally shaped or that don’t move correctly
- undescended testicle
- an underlying medical problem
Sometimes the cause of male infertility cannot be identified. In these cases, there may be an underlying genetic problem.
Symptoms
- The physical symptom of infertility is the inability to become pregnant.
- Experiencing infertility can bring on a range of painful emotions in one or both members of the couple. In general, having at least one child already tends to soften these painful emotions.
Treatment
Treatment depends on the cause of infertility. It may involve:
- Education and counselling
- Medical procedures such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF)
