There are many common causes of female infertility. Thankfully, because of great strides in medical technology and knowledge, the majority of them can be fixed. Many women can go on to experience a viable pregnancy once the problem is diagnosed and corrected. Better that you have knowledge of the most common causes of infertility.
Fibroids is one of the most common causes of infertility in women. Benign tumors that are found inside the uterus are fibroids and they can sometimes grow in other places. They can also grow underneath the uterine wall, outside the uterus, or at the cervix. Depending on their size and location, fibroids can delay or prevent pregnancy.
If the fibroids are inside the uterus and become large enough, they can cause extremely heavy monthly periods. One woman began to hemorrhage as a result of uterine fibroids and had to have an emergency hysterectomy to stop the bleeding.
Fibroids cause anemia and anemia can cause infertility as well. If you have heavy monthly cycles, you need to get checked for fibroids and while you're at it, have your doctor check your iron count.
Because fibroids can grow so large, the uterus can be extended and make you appear pregnant for a few weeks or even a few months. Depending on the severity of the problem, the treatment for fibroids can range from surgical to pharmaceutical.
Infertility can also be caused by endometriosis. This is a condition where instead of growing in the uterus lining, the tissue grows in areas it shouldn't. Scarring can be the result if endometriosis is severe enough. Hormone therapy or surgery are the treatments if scarring needs to be removed.
Another cause of infertility is having diabetes. Others claim that it's due to overall health risks associated with too much weight gain but to some studies, they suggest that the cause of infertility in diabetic women who are overweight is a direct result of being overweight. But raising the risk of miscarriage is the poor control over blood sugar levels.
Poly-cystic Ovarian Syndrome (also known as PCOS) can also cause infertility. Noticeable facial or body hair and irregular monthly periods are two of the widely known symptoms of PCOS.
To diagnose this, there should be ultrasound done or blood work drawn and the blood tested for too much androgen. The hormone that makes a man look like a man is called androgen.
For example, growth of coarse facial hair and hair growth on the back are part of the androgen hormone associated with men. Type II diabetes, weight gain, and insulin resistance are what this condition can lead to and that's why it's important to catch it early and get treatment.
Female infertility can also be caused by too much caffeine, by medication or by thyroid malfunction. Get a check up to see if the infertility could be caused by one of these causes.
