Pregnancy - Here Comes the Family

According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, there are some 6.1 million people troubled by infertility issues. Within this number, there is a same amount of percentage of infertility issues affected both men and women, which is 40% respectively. 20% of the 6.1 million people are related to unknown causes to infertility.

Besides having the general cause of women infertility, there are other specific causes such as ovarian and ovulation problems, tube or peritoneal causes, hypothalamic-pituitary causes, cervical, vaginal and uterine problems. Once these causes are made known, the chances of fertility will rise.

What are those internal causes?

Disease such as diabetes, thyroid or other defects to the kidneys and liver are some of the general physiology factors affecting women infertility. Besides physical, modern women should take note on psychological or mental problems can also be a cause of infertility to them. Women that are suffering from ovarian and ovulation disorder are said not to ovulate at all, or simple ovulate irregularly, compared to the normal ovulation during the 28-day cycle.

Another ovarian causes like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian neoplasm, diminished ovarian reserve, luteal dysfunction, premature menopauses and Turner syndrome are causing infertility to most women. It simply prevents the release of a mature egg from the ovaries, or having hormonal imbalances, or the reproduction of eggs with chromosomal defects. There are also tube or peritoneal factors that are causing the infertility to many females. It is the uterine lining (the endometrial tissue) growing outside the uterus or it is unprepared for egg implantation, blockage of the fallopian tubes which prevents an egg from traveling to the uterus.

Infertility factors such as Hypothalamic-pituitary, including the common hypopituitarism, hyperprolactinemia, kallmann syndrome and other hypothalamic dysfunctions are among the next causes of infertility among women.

Problems from the cervical, vaginal and uterine could be one of the cause of infertility.

What is actually vaginal problems? It is the prevention of the sperms to travel to the tubes and vaginusmus, also known as vaginal obstruction. Then how did cervical problems cause infertility. It is the side effects of anti-sperm antibodies, insufficient cervical mucus which is needed for the sperm to travel and survive, and cervical stenosis.
