Reason For Infertility - Why Men May Be The Problem With Infertility
Coming up with a reason for infertility is one of the most baffling experiences anyone can go through. You see, there are too many variables at play when infertility is suspected and "nailing" it down to one specific cause is sometimes like throwing darts at a miniature dart board.
One thing to remember - infertility is not just a female problem. This is a major misconception and until understood by couples, can cause a lot of grief within a household.
It's vitally important for men to realize they could very well be the problem. No "finger pointing" should ever take place and couples need to tackle fertility problems together.
Testing For Infertility
The main reason for infertility which affects men is associated with sperm. Low sperm counts, quality of sperm and it's lifetime all figure prominently in the fertility stakes.
Men need to see their doctor as soon as possible. In fact, even before the woman does. Once it's established there is no problem then one of the processes of elimination - a major one has been taken care of and the next stage of investigation can begin.
There are many reasons why infertility can play havoc with men. Here's just a few for starters:
- history of smoking or drug abuse
- nutrition problems
- stress
- heating of the scrotum due to things like excessive exercise
There are many more and your doctor is best placed to assess and pinpoint the problem area. The good news is, many of these issues can be overcome without too much fuss.
Causes Of Female Infertility
When it comes down to a reason for infertility with women, the most common reason for infertility is a disorder found in ovulation. This problem will prevent the development of a viable egg and can include a blockage of the fallopian tubes.
This can be caused by endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adhesions and scarring or poor amounts of ovarian reserves. Ovarian failure is usually caused by aging but an also be caused by other factors.
Often times it can be a defect in the female anatomy that restricts the movement of the egg into the uterus or keeps the egg from being implanted.
PCOS(Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is another major reason for infertility in women but the interesting thing is, it's still somewhat of a mystery. To learn more about PCOS talk with your doctor.
It's a minefield of hope in many cases but the good news is that the reason for infertility once found means there is usually an excellent chance of rectifying the problem. It's unexplained infertility issues which can be emotionally trying.
