Causes of Infertility


more about Causes of Infertility


Male sterility

The cause of male sterility can be summed up as the inability to send fertile sperm through the woman's reproductive organs. Some reasons are:

* An illness prevents the creation of sperm * Obstruction in the transportation of the sperm and other abilities * Difficulty with ejaculation and maintaining an erection, making it hard to ejaculate in the vagina * In the past it was thought that the woman was responsible for all causes of infertility, but that is not the case. * Statistics show that 40% of sterility cases are male-related, 40% are female-related, and 20% are attributable to the man and woman: Both sexes share equal responsibility in the matter.


Female sterility

The entire pregnancy happens in the woman's body, a very complex environment comprised of many delicate relationships. Therefore, many small problems or mishaps can lead to infertility. Some of the reasons are:
* Hormonal imbalances disrupt ovulation * Cervical defects * Fallopian tube defects * Difficulty with the implantation of the fertilized egg


The factor between couples.

* When there is nothing wrong with the husband's sperm and the wife's egg, and pregnancy does not happen, infertility is generally recognized as being caused by the immune system. * One theory is that a substance from the sperm or semen becomes an antigen. The woman's body makes an antibody to combat the antigen when the sperm enters the egg, when a fertilized egg is about to be implanted on the uterine wall, or when the sperm enters the cervical mucus, thereby preventing pregnancy from occurring.


Diverse causes

* The body requires many intricate steps to achieve a normal pregnancy. Small disruptions in these steps prevent pregnancy. * It is hard to pinpoint the exact cause of infertility. Rarely is there one cause for infertility, and both the man and the woman could provide causes for sterility.
