‘Infertility in women’ refers to the condition in which a woman is unable to conceive or contribute to the conception of a child due to a number of health problems. In some cases of infertility, a woman can get pregnant but may not be able to carry a child until birth.
Causes of infertility
There are numerous causes of infertility in women, all of which have been thoroughly studied by the experts and researchers. Heredity is one of the most common possibilities. Some of the typical causes of infertility in women are the consumption of drugs and alcohol, smoking, age, diet and sexually transmitted diseases.
The most common cause of infertility in women is some kind of disorder in the ovulation process. Ovulation is a very complex process, which most of us do not understand. It refers not only to the creation of a ‘female ovum’, but also to the ‘preparation for fertilization’ in the woman’s reproductive system. An irregularity in the menstrual cycle is a common indication of an existing problem in ovulation.
Some other causes of infertility in women related to ovulation include elevated levels of prolactin, scarring of the fallopian tubes, ovarian cysts, weight loss, excessive exercise, adrenal and thyroid disorders, obesity, and psychological stress or overwork.
Solutions for ‘Infertility in Women’
Infertility is quite a serious condition and needs to be treated at one time or another. There are several methods to treat this condition. However, which one to choose depends on the cause of its occurrence and the severity of the condition. The three main and most effective types of infertility treatments and solutions are described below:
Medicinal Treatments – Taking certain medicines has been proven to solve the cases of infertility. ‘Clomiphene’ is a medicine used to stimulate ovulation in women who do not ovulate at all or even ovulate regularly. ‘Metformin’ is used when clomiphene does not respond to the body. This is usually prescribed to women suffering from PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) condition. “Gonadotropins” is that ingredient of a drug that helps stimulate ovulation. These medicines should only be taken with a doctor’s prescription.
Surgical Processes – Doctors opt for the surgical processes when any part of the ovulation process needs to be repaired or improved. The usual surgical processes undergone in infertility cases are; ‘Fallopian tube surgery’ – done to remove the blockages or scars in the fallopian tube, and ‘laparoscopic surgery’ – done to take samples of the internal organs and perform surgery or tests on them.
Assisted Conception – Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) – The procedure in which sperm is placed into the uterus using a plastic tube, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) – medication taken to convince the ovaries to produce additional eggs, Egg Donation and blastocyst transfer are the most effective and most widely accepted methods of assisted conception in female infertility.
