According to latest research, an increasing number of women from all across the globe suffer from varied fertility issues. While adhering to a bad lifestyle, consumption of certain drugs, exposure to environmental toxins, and heredity are a few definite factors to be blamed, a series of medical conditions could also alleviate reproductive capacity and prevent a woman from conceiving. Major ones among the lot are described below so please feel free to check them out.
- Pelvic inflammatory disease could be loosely defined as an infection of the upper reproductive organs such as uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Excruciating pain in the lower abdomen, abnormal vaginal discharge, painful intercourse, fever, heavy bleeding in between periods, and difficulty in urinating are a few symptoms of and frequent abortions, use of intrauterine device, dilatation, etc. are some causes leading to PID. It contributes to about 15% chance of infertility.
- Uterine fibroids stands to be a common gynecological disorder in which non-cancerous tumors of varying size and numbers appear within and around the female reproductive system. During pregnancy, a woman’s body generates several hormones that cause the lumps to develop excessively, which in turn increases the risks of preterm labor, miscarriages, and placental abruption. Delivery complications might also arise and often C-section needs to be performed. Even though there are many treatment options, most women tend to rely upon the minimally invasive process of uterine fibroid embolization that shrinks multiple growths simultaneously and reduce associated symptoms almost immediately.
- Endometriosis tends to affect the pelvic cavity of women, where tissues from the inmost uterine lining grow and instead of shedding normally with menstrual blood accumulate inside or on top of the surrounding organs. This particular condition scars the ovaries and fallopian tubes preventing the meeting of egg with sperm. While medications can decrease the discomfort to a large extent, they might not be successful at improving fertility.
- According to top-notch healthcare professionals, infertility can be caused by sexually transmitted diseases especially gonorrhea and chlamydia. When left untreated, STDs impose excessive damage to the fallopian tubes (in women) and scars or blocks ejaculatory ducts as well as other reproductive structures (in men) not allowing them to conceive. Doctors often prescribe antiviral pills and antibiotics to cure the said disorder
- Female hormones, in some cases, do not transmit the chemical signals at right time leading to frail, irregular, and infrequent ovulation. The periods also become unpredictable and erratic in nature. Well, the said disorder could be treated through over-the-counter medications specifically available for fertility treatment.
