INTRODUCTION

If you've been trying to get pregnant while having regular, unsafe sex for at least a year and haven't been able to, you may be infertile.

Only about one-third of the time is infertility caused by female factors. Another one-third of the time is caused by both female and male factors. In the other cases, the cause is either unknown or a mix of male and female traits.

It can be hard to figure out what causes female infertility. There are many ways to treat infertility, based on what's causing it. A lot of couples who can't have children will eventually have a child without any help.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Not being able to get pregnant is the main sign of infertility. If your period lasts too long (35 days or more), too short (less than 21 days), on and off, or not at all, it could mean that you're not ovulating. There may not be any other symptoms or signs.

When You Should See A Doctor

When you should get help may depend on your age:

Most doctors say that you should try to get pregnant for at least a year before getting tested or treatment until you are 35 years old.

Talk to your doctor about your worries after six months of trying if you're between the ages of 35 and 40.

If you're over 40, your doctor may tell you to get tests or care right away.

There may be other reasons why your doctor may want to start testing or treating you right away. For example, if you or your partner have had fertility issues in the past, your periods have been inconsistent or painful, you've had multiple losses, or you have endometriosis. What Causes

Every part of the human reproduction process has to work right for pregnancy to happen. These are the steps in the process:

A fully grown egg is released from one of the two ovaries.

The fallopian tube picks up the egg.

The sperm swim up the cervix, through the uterus, and into the fallopian tube to get to the egg.

The egg that has been fertilized goes to the uterus through the fallopian tube.

Once the egg is fertilized, it sticks to the lining of the uterus and grow.

INFERTILITY IN WOMEN

SYSTEM FOR REPRODUCING IN WOMEN

In women, the reproductive system is made up of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and vagina, which is also known as the vaginal canal.

Getting Pregnant And Implanting

Two sperm and an egg join together in one of the fallopian tubes to make a baby. The zygote then goes down the fallopian tube and turns into a morula. The morula turns into a blastocyst when it gets to the uterus. The blastocyst then burrows into the lining of the uterus. This is called implantation.

Several things can mess up this process at any point in women. One or more of the following things can make a woman unable to have children.

Problems With Ovulation

Most cases of infertility are caused by ovulating rarely or not at all. Trouble ovulating can be caused by issues with the brain or the pituitary gland, which control reproductive chemicals, or by issues in the ovary.

PCOS, or polycystic ovary disease. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) throws off the balance of hormones, which stops menstruation. PCOS is linked to insulin resistance, being overweight, acne, and hair growth that isn't normal on the face or body. It's the most common reason why women can't have children.

Problems with the hypothalamus. Every month, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), which are both made by the pituitary gland, cause ovulation to happen. Too much physical or mental stress, being very overweight or very thin, or having recently gained or lost a lot of weight can stop these hormones from working properly and stop menstruation. The most common sign is periods that aren't coming or going at all.

Primary failure of the ovaries. This is also known as premature ovarian failure, and it is generally caused by an autoimmune reaction or the early loss of eggs from your ovary, which could be genetic or due to chemotherapy. In women younger than 40, the ovary stops making eggs and estrogen levels drop.

There is too much prolactin. The pituitary gland can make too much prolactin, which lowers the production of estrogen and can make it impossible to get pregnant. This can also be brought on by medicines you're taking for another illness.

Infertility Caused By Damage To The Fallopian Tubes

Broken or clogged fallopian tubes make it impossible for sperm to reach the egg or for the fertilized egg to get into the uterus. Some things that can hurt or block the fallopian tube are: Infections of the uterus and fallopian tubes caused by chlamydia, gonorrhea, or other STDs can cause pelvic inflammatory disease.

• Previous surgery in the pelvis or belly, such as surgery for an ectopic pregnancy (a fertilized egg implants and grows in a place other than the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube)

Having Endometriosis

When tissue that normally grows in the uterus implants and grows in other places, that's called endometriosis. Getting rid of this extra tissue growth surgically can leave scars that can block the fallopian tubes and stop an egg and sperm from joining together.

Endometriosis can also make it hard for the fertilized egg to stick to the uterus. In less direct ways, like by hurting the sperm or egg, the disease also seems to affect pregnancy.

Causes In The Uterus Or Cervix

Several problems in the uterus or cervix can stop the egg from implanting or raise the risk of miscarriage:

The uterus often has benign polyps or tumors called fibroids or myomas. Some of them can block the fallopian tubes or stop pregnancy, which can make it hard to get pregnant. Fibroids and polyps do happen to a lot of women, though.

If you were born with a uterus that isn't built right, for example, it can be hard to get pregnant or stay pregnant.

Cervical stenosis, which means the cervix is too small, can be caused by a birth defect or damage to the cervix.

The cervix doesn't always make the right kind of mucus for the sperm to pass through and get into the uterus.

Unknown Reasons For Infertility

Sometimes, the reason for infertility is never found. Unknown reproductive problems could be caused by a mix of a few small things in both parties. It's annoying not to get a clear answer, but this problem will go away on its own over time. But you shouldn't put off getting help for infertility.

Causes Of Risk

You may be more likely to not be able to have children if you have any of the following:

Age. As a woman ages, her eggs become less healthy and less plentiful. Around age 30, the rate of cell loss speeds up, which means there are fewer and lower-quality eggs. This makes it harder to get pregnant and raises the risk of having a miscarriage.

Using tobacco. In addition to hurting your cervix and fallopian tubes, smoking makes you more likely to have a miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy. People also think that it makes your ovaries age faster and makes your eggs run out faster. Don't smoke before you start pregnancy treatment.

How much. Ovulation may be affected by being overweight or significantly underweight. Getting your body mass index (BMI) down to a healthy level might make you ovulate more often and increase your chances of getting pregnant.

Your sexual history. It is possible for STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea to hurt the fallopian tubes. If you have sex with more than one person without protection, you may get a sexually transmitted infection that could make it hard for you to get pregnant in the future.

The drink. Too much drinking can make it harder to get pregnant.

Safety First

These tips might help women who want to get pregnant soon or in the future:

Stay at a good weight. Women who are overweight or underweight are more likely to have problems with their ovulation. Do light exercising if you want to lose weight. It has been linked to less ovulation when women work out hard for more than five hours a week.

Give up smoking. Many bad things happen to your fertility, your health, and the health of a baby when you smoke. If you want to get pregnant and smoke, stop now.

Don't drink. People who drink a lot may have trouble getting pregnant. And any kind of drinking can hurt the health of a growing baby. Don't drink booze if you want to get pregnant, and don't drink while you're pregnant either.
