Infertility
Infertility
is basically a disease of the reproductive system
that hinders the working of one of the body’s
most primary systems: the reproductive system
and consequent conception of children.
Conception is a complex process
that is determined and affected by many factors
such as the production of healthy sperm by the
man and healthy eggs by the woman; unblocked
fallopian tubes that let the sperm reach the
egg; the sperm's ability to fertilize the egg
when they meet; the ability of the fertilized
egg (embryo) to become implanted in the woman's
uterus; and adequate embryo quality. Also, for
the pregnancy to continue and result in a live
birth the embryo must be healthy and the woman’s
hormonal composition must be satisfactory. If
any one of the above factors is missing, the
result is infertility.
Circumstances
Of Infertility
Although this condition is one in which one
may feel bad for the lack of the ability of
not being able to have a kid or impregnate a
woman, the feeling is common and is important
to know that you are not alone. More than 6.1
million Americans fight this every year. Many
of them have to deal with the problem of having
to deal with stress because of the medicines,
financial problems and the psychological distress
caused by the disease.
For a condition like infertility,
it would be unfair to blame anyone. At an average,
around one-third of infertility cases can be
attributed to male factors, and about one-third
to factors that affect women. The rest of the
times, infertility is usually a result of a
combination of inadequacies in both partners
or, as in about 20 percent of cases, can not
be explained.
For men, common infertility factors
are ‘azoospermia’, when no sperm
cells are produced and ‘oligospermia’
when few sperm cells are produced. Genetic diseases
rarely play a role in causing infertility in
men. For women, the most commonly detected female
infertility factor is an ovulation disorder.
Other causes are usually blocked fallopian tubes
or Congenital anomalies. Infertility can sometimes be countered by in vitro fertilization
which offers a solution to women with blocked
or absent fallopian tubes, and men with low
sperm counts.
Infertility Conditions
Are Cureable
What must be remembered at this time that nearly
all cases of infertility at least 90% of them
can be cured through treatment not forgetting
that they are surgical and medical treatments
which are available these days. There are some
conditions that you can and cannot control when
you have an infertility condition. Some of the
conditions that you can control is explained
in the next paragraph and following it are some
of the conditions that are just out of reach.
An individual using tobacco and marijuana which
counts for low sperm count consumption of alcohol
in excess is another factor that counts towards
low sperm count. Ejaculation or Masturbation
to frequently or infrequently according to experts
also count towards Low sperm count.
The frequent timing of having intercourse,
the ideal time to have sex is after 36 hours
of the first intercourse. This gives the woman
the time to ovulate, having sex everyday although
increases the chance of pregnancy but it also
counts towards low sperm count.
Intense excising could be responsible for the
low sperm count in men and prevents the ovulation
process in women.
Increased temperature in the male scrotal area;
this is due to the reason of using hot tubs,
and steam baths too often.
There
Are Some Things That Can't Be Controlled Which
Include The Following
- Problems with either of the reproductive
systems which occurred during birth.
- DES which is a medication that is given
to mothers who were expecting during the years
of 1948 & 1971 to prevent miscarriages.
So if your mother took the medication but
it cannot be helped if you face the problem
of infertility.
- If you work in conditions are extremes
such as radiation which would include cancer
chemotherapy.
- If you have had STD’s in the past
which could have injured the reproductive
system.
