Many young and mature couples looking to have children are struggling with problems. In many cases, doctors make a terrible diagnosis - "infertility". In general, an infertile is the couple who have been trying to have a child for two years without success and at the same time have an active sex life. Today we will tell you about 6 main causes of infertility... Knowing them, it will be easier to deal with this terrible diagnosis.
Weak sperm activity
The main reason for infertility of the stronger sex is their low mobility and activity. To diagnose such a "disease" it is necessary to conduct a high-quality spectrogram. Sperm activity decreases every year. Today it has dropped to 50%, although earlier this figure was not lower than 70%.
Incompatibility
There are situations when the female body simply rejects the male sperm. The reasons for the production of special antibodies are not fully understood. A similar problem in medicine is called immunological incompatibility. In such a situation, the couple is forced to pass a compatibility test.
Menstrual irregularities
Another reason for infertility, but already female, is an irregular menstrual cycle, and more often its absence at all. In this situation, a woman must necessarily undergo examinations, during which all stages of the "life" of the egg will be traced - formation, maturation, exit, readiness for fertilization. Lack of menstruation is often the main cause of pregnancy difficulties.
Follicle formation problems
This cause of infertility is becoming more and more common in women every year. The "young" egg (follicle) is formed with serious disorders, which prevents its fertilization. A similar problem can be diagnosed within a week after the onset of menstruation. As a rule, there should be several follicles per ovary. One of them is dominant - it is he who participates in ovulation. If a young egg has matured at the wrong time or is not full-fledged, then this can interfere with fertilization. This problem is called polycystic ovary disease.
Thickening of the ovarian membrane
There are situations when the follicle is formed in a timely manner and is a completely healthy cell, but the thickening of the ovarian wall does not allow it to break through the "fence". A similar problem can be caused by severe inflammation, which also needs to be treated.
Problems with fallopian tubes
Obstruction of the fallopian tubes can also cause infertility in women. The follicle can stay in the fallopian tubes for up to several days. If the sperm does not reach her, then fertilization, of course, will not occur. In addition, their meeting must be "synchronized".
What is the way out?
If a couple cannot have a child for a long time, then it is necessary to be examined. Today most of the causes of infertility are eliminated in the course of treatment. Therefore, there is no need to despair. The main thing is to timely identify and eliminate the existing problem.
