INFERTILITY IN WOMEN
INFERTILITY is usually defined as the failure to conceive after a year or more of regular sexual activity during the time of ovulation. It may also refer to the inability to carry a pregnancy to term.
THE WOMAN MONTHLY CYCLE
Each month a ripe egg or ovum (occasionally two) is released from one of the ovaries. This is called ovulation
The ripe egg begins to travel down the fallopian tube. It is here that it may be fertilized by a man’s sperm
If the egg is not fertilized by a sperm, it passes out of the body through the vagina which is known as the monthly period
CONCEPTION
A woman is most likely to conceive just after the time when she ovulates, when an egg has been released from one of her ovaries. During sexual intercourse, sperm are ejaculated from a man’s penis into the woman vagina.
Over 300 million are released at once. Most of the sperm leak out of the vagina again, but some begin to swim up through the cervix. One sperm may then join with the egg and fertilize it. Conception is said to have taken place.
During the week after fertilization, the fertilized egg or embryo, moves slowly down the fallopian tube and into the womb. It is already growing. The woman misses her period
CAUSES OF INFERTILITY
Infertility can arise if the mucus remains thick and sperm are unable to swim through it, or if it contains antibodies that attack sperm
Either or both of the fallopian tube may be blocked or damaged, preventing sperm and eggs from meeting
The ovaries may fail to provide mature eggs or be unable to release them because of an abnormally, scaring and adhesions
The uterus may contain fibroid, and it’s lining may be affected by endometriosis
FAILURE TO OVULATE- the inability to release an egg is the most common cause of female infertility. Hormonal imbalance may be the cause of ovulation failure.
OVARIAN PROBLEMS- scarring due to surgery or cysts or the side effect of radiation treatment can damage ovaries
INFECTIONS- sexually transmitted infection like, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia e.t.c. can damage ovaries
HORMONAL IMBALANCE- the imbalance of progesterone, which is necessary for a fertilized egg’s survival, may cause miscarriages if too little or for too short a time, the egg may not survive, Estrogen the female hormone too plays an important role in the fertility of the woman
BIRTH CONTROL PILLS AND INJECTIONS may be cause infertility, in that the chemicals which prevents ovulation may do so for longer than the woman wishes.
STRUCTURAL PROBLEM- the structure of the woman may be a cause of infertility is rare cases.
