WHAT CAUSES FERTILITY PROBLEMS?
If you've been trying to conceive a child for more than a year and have been unsuccessful, then it is possible that you, your partner or both of you have fertility problems. Fertility problems can be caused by a multitude of factors, which are unique to each gender.
Causes of Female Fertility Problems
Some Female fertility problems[1] might be more complicated than males, with many more variables to consider.
- Hormonal imbalances
- Uterine or cervical irregularities or abnormalities
- Problems with the fallopian tubes
- Endometriosis
- Early menopause
- Ovarian damage
- Genetic conditions
- Chronic lifestyle diseases like diabetes or cancer
- Scar tissue
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
Causes of Male Fertility Problems
Some Male fertility problems[2] may be less complex than female fertility problems but are equally difficult to contend with.
- Abnormal production or function of the sperm
- Genetic conditions
- Chronic lifestyle diseases like diabetes or cancer
- Damage to reproductive organs
Risk Factors for Both Genders
There are many environmental factors that appear to have a negative impact on our overall fertility.
Your age, weight and exercise habits are all important indications of infertility risk. If you are older, have an unhealthy weight and do not exercise, then you have a higher chance of having fertility problems.
If you are undergoing chemotherapy for cancer or are battling with another chronic disease, you may have difficulty conceiving. Constantly using certain pharmaceutical medications - such as antibiotics and anabolic steroids - is another way to increase the chance of accruing fertility problems.
Smoking or drinking alcohol both contribute towards infertility too and aught to be avoided by those who are trying to conceive.
If you are having a hard time conceiving a baby, talk to your nearest healthcare provider to see what you can do to have it treated.
