If getting pregnant has been a challenge for you and your partner, you're not alone. Ten percent to 15 percent of couples in the United States are infertile. Infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant despite having frequent, unprotected sex for at least a year.
In some cases, an infertile woman may have abnormal menstrual periods. An infertile man may have some signs of hormonal problems such as changes in hair growth or sexual function.
The human reproductive process is complex. To become pregnant, the intricate processes of ovulation and fertilization need to work just right.
Causes of Male infertility
A number of things can cause impaired sperm count or mobility, or impaired ability to fertilize the egg. The most common causes of male infertility include abnormal sperm production or function, impaired delivery of sperm, general health and lifestyle issues, and overexposure to certain environmental elements.
Impaired production or function of sperm. Most cases of male infertility are due to problems with the sperm, such as:
Impaired shape and movement of sperm.
Low sperm concentration
Varicocele.
Undescended testicle.
Testosterone deficiency
Genetic defects.
Infections.
Impaired delivery of sperm. Problems with the delivery of sperm from the penis into the vagina can result in infertility. These may include:
Sexual issues.
Retrograde ejaculation.
Blockage of ejaculatory ducts.
No semen.
Misplaced urinary opening.
Anti-sperm antibodies.
General health and lifestyle. A man's general health and lifestyle may affect fertility. Some common causes of infertility related to health and lifestyle include:
Emotional stress.
Malnutrition.
Obesity.
Cancer and its treatment.
Alcohol and drugs.
Age.
Pesticides and other chemicals
Overheating the testicles
Environmental exposure
Substance abuse.
Tobacco smoking.
Causes of Female infertility
The most common causes of female infertility include fallopian tube damage or blockage, endometriosis, ovulation disorders, elevated prolactin, polycystic ovary syndrome, early menopause, benign uterine fibroids and pelvic adhesions.
Fallopian tube damage or blockage
Endometriosis.
Ovulation disorders.
Elevated prolactin.
Polycystic ovary syndrome.
Early menopause.
Benign uterine fibroids.
Pelvic adhesions.
Other causes.
Medications
Thyroid problems.
Cancer and its treatment.
Other medical conditions.
Caffeine intake.
Some infertile couples have more than one cause of their infertility. Your doctor will usually begin a comprehensive infertility examination of both you and your partner.
Tests for men
For a man to be fertile, the testicles must produce enough healthy sperm, and the sperm must be ejaculated effectively into the woman's vagina. Tests for male infertility attempt to determine whether any of these processes are impaired.
General physical examination.
Semen analysis.
Hormone testing.
Transrectal and scrotal ultrasound.
Tests for women
For a woman to be fertile, the ovaries must release healthy eggs regularly, and her reproductive tract must allow the eggs and sperm to pass into her fallopian tubes to become fertilized by a sperm. Her reproductive organs must be healthy and functional.
Ovulation testing.
Hysterosalpingography.
Laparoscopy.
Hormone testing.
Ovarian reserve testing.
Genetic testing.
Pelvic ultrasound. Pelvic ultrasound may be done to look for uterine or fallopian tube disease.
Not everyone needs to undergo all, or even many, of these tests before the cause of infertility is found. Which tests are used and their sequence depend on discussion and agreement between you and your doctor.
Unexplained infertility
Treatment of infertility depends on the cause, how long you've been infertile, the age of the partners and many personal preferences. Some causes of infertility can't be corrected. However, a woman can still become pregnant with assisted reproductive technology or other procedures to restore fertility.
Restoring fertility
These approaches can involve steps related to the male or to the female, or both.
Increase frequency of intercourse.
MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR MEN
General sexual problems. Addressing impotence or premature ejaculation can improve fertility. Treatment for these problems often is with medication or behavioral approaches.
Lack of sperm.
MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR WOMEN
Stimulating ovulation with fertility drugs
Fertility drugs and the risk of multiple pregnancies
Surgery
Depending on the cause, surgery may be a treatment option for infertility. Blockages or other problems in the fallopian tubes can often be surgically repaired. Laparoscopic techniques allow delicate operations on the fallopian tubes.
Infertility due to endometriosis often is difficult to treat. Although hormones such as those found in birth control pills are effective for treating endometriosis and relieving pain, they haven't been useful in treating infertility. If you have endometriosis, your doctor may treat you with ovulation therapy, in which medication is used to stimulate or regulate ovulation, or in vitro fertilization, in which the egg and sperm are joined in the laboratory and transferred to the uterus.
Assisted reproductive technology
In vitro fertilization. This is the most effective technique. Involves retrieving mature eggs from a woman, fertilizing them with a man's sperm in a dish in a laboratory and implanting the embryos in the uterus three to five days after fertilization.
Complications of treatment
Certain complications exist with the treatment of infertility. These include:
Multiple pregnancies.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
Bleeding or infection.
Low birth weight.
Birth defects.
NATURAL HEALING WITHOUT SURGERY
In most cases infertility is caused from tension, depression, or any number of emotions, can affect fertility.
Our natural treatment addresses sexual desire, frustration. sex organs and the endocrine center.
Good health conditions in all organs should be helping each other, by balancing the Yin and Yang energy will help blood flow between the organs and help sexual organs to become normal.
We can help with fallopian tube blockage without surgery and eliminate uterus infections
All bodies are different; all treatments are different according to what is needed.
