Infertility in Women:

Written by Gordon

Women are affected by infertility as much as men are. Infertility indicates the inability to conceive a child even after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse. Women need not undergo extensive tests and physical examinations for being diagnosed for infertility. However the case is exactly the opposite in men. This is so because it is highly difficult to spot infertility in men unless there’s a sign of erectile dysfunction

If we loom into the causes of infertility in women, there are many and let’s have a closer look at it one by one.

PID:

Pelvic Inflammatory disease is said to be caused by infection of bacteria in the internal organs of reproduction. The infection spreads to the area around pelvic region and in some cases to the intestines also. If the fallopian tubes are infected, it is termed as Salpingitis. This condition contributes to infertility in women.

Endometriosis:

It is a condition that prevails due to development of endometrial tissues in organs other than uterus. Medical history claims that about 30% of infertility cases are due to this condition.

Premature Menopause:

In some women menopause starts to occur prior to 40 years of age. It is characterized by irregular menstrual bleeding. As this condition interferes with development of mature eggs, infertility occurs.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome:

This condition occurs due to excess production of androgen in the body that reduces secretion of Follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. As a result the process of ovulation is not carried out properly.

Treatment options available for women are many. But care should be taken while choosing a perfect treatment that would suit one’s body condition while bringing out desirable outcomes without any si’de effects. To ensure this, it is always better to consult an infertility specialist before deciding on one’s own.
