Pressbox (Press Release) - The number of women showing signs of infertility continues to rise. While most of the factors affecting this problem revolve around female conditions, other causes that result to infertility issues include lifestyle issues like alcohol and substance abuse.
Infertility is the incapability to produce offspring. However, signs of infertility must never be confused with sterility. For women, a common sign of infertility is an irregular menstrual cycle. Other signs include weight problems – being either too thin or obese. However, there are women who are thin but don’t have problems conceiving. For obese women, the problem usually evolves around hormonal issues which can affect the reproductive system.
Women, who notice a few signs of infertility, should not worry because having some of these signs doesn’t mean that they are infertile. To be certain, it is still best to check with a specialist if you are having difficulty conceiving for more than one year or so.
According to signs-of-infertility.com, most problems resulting to infertility relies on women. This means, more than 50% of infertility problems are due to female conditions. Others revolve around sperm disorders or through unexplained causes.
For a woman to conceive, she needs to menstruate properly. If there are ovulation problems, infertility issues may follow. Other causes of infertility can be a result of uterine problems, tubal blockage and previous tubal ligation. The site also mentions that the age of a woman also play a big major role with regards to her fertility. As women age, their ability to conceive also decreases naturally. This is part of the aging process. To explain this further, women lose 1,000 eggs every month. Furthermore, conditions like endometriosis, PCOS or other sexually transmitted diseases can aggravate and worsen the signs of infertility.
PID or pelvic inflammatory disease is another cause of infertility. It is a very serious pelvic inflammation due to untreated gonorrhea or chlamydia. When there is scarring, the fallopian tubes become blocked, especially when bacteria has made its way up towards the uterus and through the surrounding tissues, ovaries and fallopian tubes. After PID, pregnancy is still possible through IVF.
The site also mentions another cause of infertility - PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome. It is a type of hormonal disorder that disrupts the normal ovulation cycle of a woman. Due to this, experiencing an irregularity or inability to ovulate can also lead to infertility issues. More about the problems affecting the fertility of a woman is available at the site.
