Causes of Infertility in Women
Ovulation Disorders
Irregular or absent ovulation can hinder the release of eggs needed for fertilization.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts, often leading to irregular menstrual cycles and infertility.
Endometriosis
The presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus can affect fertility by causing inflammation and scarring.
Fallopian Tube Blockage
Obstruction in the fallopian tubes can prevent the egg from meeting the sperm, disrupting fertilization.
Uterine Factors
Abnormalities in the uterus, such as polyps or fibroids, can interfere with implantation and pregnancy.
Causes of Infertility in Men
Sperm Quality
Sperm quality encompasses factors such as count, motility, and morphology within semen. Any abnormalities in these aspects can result in male infertility.
Erectile Dysfunction
Difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection can impede successful intercourse.
Varicocele
Enlarged veins in the testicles can overheat them, affecting sperm production and quality.
Genetic Factors
Inherited conditions or genetic abnormalities may impact fertility in both men and women.
Retrograde Ejaculation
Retrograde ejaculation happens when a man’s sperm goes into his bladder instead of coming out of his penis because the nerves and muscles in the bladder don’t contract during orgasm.
Obstruction
Blockages in the sperm tubes can occur due to infections, surgery like vasectomy, swelling, or developmental issues. When blocked, sperm can’t be ejaculated from the testicles.
It’s important to note that a combination of factors can cause infertility, and sometimes the exact cause remains unknown.
Female infertility can be a daunting and emotional challenge for many women and couples. Various factors such as age, hormonal imbalances, and anatomical issues can contribute to infertility in women. However, there are numerous effective treatments available.
