We
can describe infertility in 2 ways. (1) It’s lack of ability to conceive in
spite of regular sexual intercourse throughout the year while avoiding any
device or method that prevents pregnancy. (2)
It’s inability to avoid miscarriages, abnormalities and other
complications once pregnancy has taken place. There are definite factors in men
and women that are responsible up to 30% for problems of infertility
separately. If these factors combine, their responsibility increases by an
extra 20%. Another 20% are those factors whose origin is not yet known.
When
we deal with infertility, the most important thing that we must keep in mind is
the strict compliance with the rules of its treatment. But treatment comes
later, first we need to diagnose this problem correctly. And it’s not an easy
task. We have to find out the root cause of this problem. And different persons
have different causes behind their being infertile. So a lot of care is
required at the first stage i.e. detecting the causation of infertility.
What’s the significance of determining the true causes?
While diagnosing an infertile person, we need to bear in mind the fact that
there may be a huge number of factors behind this condition. Also there may be
a single factor causing this problem. Once the true reason has been detected,
only then a proper treatment should be initiated. If we fail at the first stage
and cannot properly diagnose this problem, our treatment will be wrong
resulting in further complications.
So far females are concerned, the common factors behind their infertility known
till this day are as under:
Anovulation:
it’s the great cause of infertility in females. It’s a condition in which the
ovary is unable to produce a mature egg and make it available for sperm. Such
inability may be due to a lot of reasons.
In the light of recent research, imbalance in hormones is the major factor
behind Anovulation. Due to this, ovaries are unable to release ripened eggs,
thus making pregnancy impossible.
Those
females who suffer from Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), experience
decrease in secretion of Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and increase
in secretion of Lutenizing hormone (LH) and testosterone. So PCOS is also
a common reason for Anovulation resulting in sterility.
Hypothalamus
is a gland. Its main function is to keep control over hormonal stimuli. The
improper functioning of this gland has led to about 20% of the infertility
cases known till this day.
Secret
complications have been a case in women’s health. Some women have undergone
surgeries. Some may have tumors and other infections in their ovaries and other
reproductive organs. All this obstructs the maturity of eggs, thus leading to
infertility.
The untimely ceasing of menstruation and problems related to follicular have
also been a cause of anovulation.
Sometimes fallopian tubes are not able to carry on their work properly. This
breakdown in their function is mainly caused by those viruses or bacteria,
which have been living inside these tubes.
Sometimes fallopian tubes get blocked due to abdominal complications such as
Appendicitis and colitis. Sometimes these tubes are damaged during surgeries
and later they lose ability to pass eggs. When pregnancy has occurred inside
the tube in an abnormal position, it not only endangers the life of the child,
but also causes serious damage to the tube. In rare cases these tubes may have
congenital defects, which cause infertility.
Apart from the above mentioned reasons, the use of drugs also reduces the
chances of pregnancy. Smoking and drinking are the proven factors getting in
the way of pregnancy.
Now let’s come to the immune system. Sometimes it’s affected by serious type of
problem. Autoimmune reactions are an example of such problems. The extermination
of sperms by antisperm antibodies is another example, where sperms are killed
before they can meet the egg. In human body, there are antinuclear antibodies.
When they are in access, they cause irritation inside the uterus.
No doubt, a lot of causes are behind infertility, but the condition can still
be cured easily. Provided that the diagnosis is correct and the genuine reason
has been detected. For this purpose holistic approach is essential. Such an
approach sees the problem from different angles and applies comprehensive
solutions simultaneously. It includes taking regular exercise, using prescribed
medicines, avoiding alcohol, nicotine and other drugs, managing to reduce
stress and use of acupuncture etc. All these guarantee success in regaining
one’s natural fertility features. As the problem of infertility is so
complicated that all other approaches have got partial successes, only a
holistic approach has proved to be its sole solution on permanent basis.
