Causes of Infertility in Women

Causes of Infertility in women are many. But some of the common causes of infertility in women are hormonal imbalance, endometriosis, polycystic overian syndrome and blockage in tube. Read on to know more about the symptoms and treatment for these causes of infertility in women.

Causes of infertility in women are numerous and one of the common ones is ovulation disorder. Ageing is also one of the important factors that affect the conceiving power of any woman. However, it is important to understand how to evaluate and come to find out that one is not fertile. The first thing to do is to watch out if you had unprotected sex for 12 months if you are below 35 and six months if you are above 35 years of age, you have all the reasons to doubt whether you are facing infertility problems or not.

Causes of Infertility in Women

Have a quick at the common causes of infertility in women.

1. Hormonal Problems –

The process of ovulation depends largely on the right balance of hormones. Any disruption or imbalance may cause problems regarding fertility in women. There are three main sources that are responsible for this problem.
  • Poor Quality of Eggs – If the woman is unable to produce matured eggs, chances of fertilisation becomes nonexistent. Sometimes eggs get damaged also due to many other reasons.
  • Improper Functioning of Pituitary Glands – If the functioning of pituitary glands is not proper, there are problems of fertility in the woman.

2. Endometriosis –

There is a lining in the uterus that sheds every month and this is called endometrial tissue. This grows outside the uterus and this is one of the major causes of infertility in women.
  • Symptoms – The most common symptoms are painful menstrual periods with irregular and heavy bleeding and probably having miscarriages often.
  • Treatment – Laparoscopic surgery is done to remove the abnormal tissue. The success rate is good and many women conceive within the 18 months of surgery.

3. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome –

In this, the ovaries of the woman consists of numerous cysts and they do not ovulate regularly because of the hormonal imbalance.
  • Symptoms – Irregular menstrual cycle, acne, hair growth, aggressive male hormonal secretion and over weight are the common symptoms of this infertility problem.
  • Treatment– The treatment is done with the help of doctor and medications as well as some specific exercise and yoga asana is also advised.

4. Blockage in the Female Tube –

If the fallopian tube is blocked or damaged, it will prevent eggs from getting into the uterus and also prevent sperms from getting into the egg.
  • Symptoms – There are no apparent symptoms for the problem.
  • Treatment – Laparoscopic surgery can be done to open the tubes.

Taking care of your diet and lifestyle is also important. If you find some infertility cause in you, try to switch to natural ways. Once you start exercising and keeping away your stress level, you will be able to see difference in you and your problems will vanish away eventually. It will take time and you must be prepared for that.

Most of the time it is observed that many women do not have any major fertility problem and it is just because of busy lifestyle and increased stress level that they cannot conceive. If they practice yoga and meditation or go out for a change, they get pregnant.

Once the cause is found out, treatment can be done through various methods. Consulting your doctor will help. However, there are some natural ways in which you can treat infertility also. If it is not late, the best way to treat is to start with some moderate exercise and also take refuge in yoga asana as they are considered extremely helpful.
