FEMALE INFERTILITY

Infertility occurs when there is an abnormality in the reproductive system that damaged one of the body’s basic functions: the conception of children.

A couple can be determined to be infertile if the woman is not able to conceive a child after 12 months of well-timed and unprotected sex or if she has been unable to get pregnant despite trying for one year.

Female infertility can be determined if the infertility case of a couple is related to factors associated with the condition of women rather than men. In most cases, ovulation problem is what accounts for infertility in women.

About 10% to 15% of all cases of infertility are due to ovulation problems. Irregular menstrual period or absences of menstrual period are the common signs of ovulation problem.



Some common factors, like diet, stress, or over fatigue, can also affect women’s hormonal balance.
AGE FACTOR



Fertility measures!
The age of a female affects fertility. The genetic factor is also important. The eggs in the ovary of menopausal women are not strong enough to be developed and ovulated.

In such a case they are not capable of being fertilized. Genetically deficient ovaries can be barren. The ovarian follicles are unable to develop eggs for ovulation.

High levels of FSH or follicle stimulating hormones above the level of 12 mcg/ml show that the ovary may belong to a female who is menopausal or perimenopausal.

The eggs can be measured for their capability for development, ovulation, and fertility. This test is called the clomiphene citrate challenge. Fertility rates for women who fail this test are very poor.

One fertility measure is to treat with Clomid (clomiphene citrate). The Clomid subdues the level of estrogen prompting the hypothalamus to produce more gonadotropin towards the pituitary gland to compel it to produce more FSH.

If such a measure will not induce ovulation, FSH can be introduced invasively.

Donor eggs for the ovaries are also used to promote fertility. In the end lifestyle changes and medication can be used to treat ovulation irregularities and enhance fertility.


OVER EXERCISE AND EMOTIONAL STRESS



Ovulation problems cause infertility!

Over exercise and emotional stress can lead to irregular or abnormal ovulation. The female body is not able to develop eggs for fertilization. The strenuous exercise hampers the normal production of hormones.

The stimulation necessary for eggs to develop is not done. Stress especially emotional strain can also hinder the production of estrogen and gonadotropin. These hormones are all needed to develop eggs for ovulation.

In fact eggs may be present in the ovarian follicles but if the leutinizing hormone is not made plentiful the eggs cannot be conducted to the distal end where they are fertilized.

Anovulation is a term that means the absence of ovulation. This is an abnormal condition because the eggs are not fully developed and are not released for fertilization outside of the ovary via the fallopian tube.

Oligovulation is abnormal ovulation caused by hormone deficiency. In the chain of hormone producing functions. One of the cogs fails to deliver the hormone link that puts together the complete axis of ovulation.

From the hypothalamus that produces the gonadotropin up to the corpus luteum, which produces the progesterone, the whole chain of hormones should all be complete to have a successful ovulation.

Based on the studies, the number of women who cannot become pregnant in the United States is estimated to be over 3 million. The increase in infertility cases in the US, according to the Federal Centers for Disease Control, can be partially attributed to an increase in sterility-causing diseases.
