Most of you are already aware of the term infertility. It is the condition when you fail to get pregnant after trying to conceive for one year. There are different causes of infertility. Some of those are endometriosis, ovulatory disorders, lower sperm count or even low testosterone. With growing age, the risk of infertility starts to increase.
There are different infertility treatments available like IVF, IUI and more, but only for women within a recommended age group. Some IVF treatment plans are not viable for those over 35 years of age. You can count on us at Mannat Fertility Clinic to know more about our IVF plans. But, before digging into that, let’s learn why infertility is so common among modern generations.
Causes of male infertility:
Infertility can happen to both genders and is not just restricted to females only. Male infertility is pretty common but people are a bit shy to talk about that in the open. But, to conceive naturally, you need to have a detailed chat about your condition with the doctor and get the issue treated. There are different reasons behind male infertility and some of those are:
- Damage related to cancer treatment:
Some cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation can result in male infertility. Such treatments can impair sperm production and in some instances, quite severely.
- Over-exposure towards some environmental factors:
Overexposure towards pesticides, radiation and other chemicals can always lead to male infertility. Smoking, marijuana, alcohol, anabolic steroids and taking medicines for treating bacterial infections and depression can affect the fertility rate. Even frequent exposure to heat like hot tubs or sauna baths can raise body temperature and kill sperm production.
- Problem related to sperm delivery:
Mainly due to some sexual problems like premature ejaculation, men might suffer from issues while delivering sperm. Even some genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis or structural issues like a blockage in the testicle can injure or damage the male reproductive organs.
- Abnormal sperm function or production:
Due to undescended testicles, health issues like diabetes, genetic defects or infections like HIV or mumps, abnormal sperm production takes place. Some enlarged veins in the testicles can affect sperm quality, resulting in infertility.
Causes of infertility in women:
Once you have learned the causes of infertility in men, now it is time to move towards women. Some of those are:
- Ovulation disorders:
It can affect the release of eggs. Such hormonal disorders include PCOS, hyperprolactinemia and more. Even thyroid hormones can affect the menstrual cycle, leading towards infertility.
- Uterine abnormalities:
These abnormalities are associated with the cervix, polyps in the uterus and even the shape of the uterus. Benign tumours in uterine walls can cause serious infertility.
- Fallopian tube damage:
It is mainly caused by inflammation of the fallopian tubes. It can result from pelvic inflammatory disease.
- Endometriosis:
This medical issue occurs when the endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, affecting the functions of the fallopian tubes, ovaries and uterus.
Why infertility is so common?
Lifestyle factors are now hugely impacting the world of infertility. People don’t have time to eat a proper and healthy lunch all the time. As always busy with office presentations, they end up having junk food items at odd hours. Moreover, the addition of smoking, alcohol and other similar items can also deteriorate the sperm count in men and also increases women's infertility. The modern generation is well indulged in such bad habits, which in turn, results in infertility problems. Moreover, they wait for a long time to have a baby, which is another cause of infertility.
