You already have a child, yet getting the next one seems like an impossibility. This is the emotional situation of most couples who experience secondary infertility. We realise that it is bewildering, angering and an intensely personal experience not to be able to conceive again. Simply because you had a child the first time, it does not mean that you will easily get one again. However, a second or third child is achievable with proper care, support and treatment.
What is Secondary Infertility?
The inability to conceive a child or carry a pregnancy to term following one or more biological children is called secondary infertility. It is diagnosed in a situation where a couple fails to conceive again after 12 months (6 months in case of women over 35) of trying to conceive after previously conceiving naturally.
However, in contrast to primary infertility, secondary infertility presents a different level of emotional pressure. In many cases, this pressure is compounded by the fact that others may always assume that this time should be easier.
Causes We Frequently See at Mannat Fertility
1. Female Age and Egg Quality
The egg supply of a woman goes down with age, despite a previous healthy pregnancy. The rate of loss of the number and quality of eggs increases after the age of 35, which influences fertilisation and embryo growth.
- Hormonal Imbalances
Conditions such as PCOS, thyroid, or excessive prolactin levels can also occur after the first pregnancy and prevent ovulation and regular menstruation.
3. Tubal or Uterine Issues
Old C-section scars, pelvic infections, fibroids, or endometriosis can occur or get worse and impede the fallopian tubes or the uterine lining, which are crucial to successful conception and implantation.
4. Male Factor Infertility
The health of sperm may deteriorate due to:
- Age
- Lifestyle changes
- Hypertension or diabetes
- Obesity
- Smoking or alcohol
- Environmental toxins
A fresh semen analysis assists in revealing any alterations in the quantity, motility, or morphology of sperm.
5. Weight and Lifestyle Changes
A loss or gain in your weight, stress, or sleeping pattern are some of the factors that may change, particularly after parenting, and can affect both male and female fertility. Even modest weight loss or stress management can improve outcomes significantly.
6. Unexplained Infertility
And in a large number of couples, there is no definite cause found. Such cases are referred to as unexplained secondary infertility and can still be addressed using mild treatment such as IUI or IVF.
