The Real Cause of Infertility
Infertility can be defined in two ways: as
inability to conceive after a year of regular
sexual intercourse without contraception, or as
repeated ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages or
perinatal loss. Male and female specific factors
account for about 30% of the infertility causes
(individually);the combination of male and female
causation leads to an additional 20% and the
remaining 20% are caused by uncertain origins.

When one is dealing with infertility, as much as
it is important to strictly follow the rules of
the treatment, it is equally important to make
sure that you have the correct diagnosis of the
root cause of your condition. In this article you
will find a broad outline, enumerating the
various probable causes of infertility.
Why it is important to determine the causes.
Infertility may be caused due to a multitude of
factors at a time, or it may be the result of
perhaps the deviation of a certain single factor
from its premeditated path. Since misdiagnosis
can often lead to further fertility
complications, the very first step of treating
and curing infertility depends largely on
indentifying the root cause right in the
beginning of treatment.

The broad causes of infertility in females may be
listed as follows:
. Anovulation: In females, ovulatory
problems are the most common causes of
infertility. The failure to ovulate may be due to
a number of factors:
o Hormonal imbalance is the most frequent
cause of anovulation; when the ovaries produce
immature eggs, pregnancy becomes impossible.
o Women with polycystic ovaries suffer from
a decreased secretion of FSH and increased
secretion of LH and testosterone; therefore
polycystic ovarian syndrome may lead to
anovulation in women.
o Approximately 20% of the cases of
infertility occur due to the malfunctioning of
the hypothalamus, the gland which controls
hormonal stimuli, resulting in immature eggs. The
pituitary gland is responsible for the regulation
of LH and FSH, and its malfunctioning produces
immature eggs.
o Damage to the ovaries caused by previous
surgeries, ovarian cysts, tumors and infections
may lead to production of immature eggs as well.
o Premature menopause and follicular
problems are also responsible for anovulation.
. Improper functioning of fallopian tubes:
Viral and bacterial infections of the fallopian
tubes are the primary cause of their malfunction.
Appendicitis and colitis are abdominal problems
which lead to blockage of the fallopian tubes.
Tubal damages may also be caused by previous
surgeries, which render the tubes incapable of
passing eggs. Ectopic pregnancy, which occurs
within the tube, is a potential threat to life
that also causes tubal damage. Congenital tubal
defects are rare, but not impossible to come
across as causes of infertility.
. Use of drugs: Smoking, drinking and using
other drugs have been known to decrease the
chances of getting pregnant.
. Problems in the Immune system: This
problem includes autoimmune reactions in the body
and the creation of antisperm antibodies which
exterminate sperms. Natural killer cells, which
when present in excess, can damage the embryo in
the uterus. The antinuclear antibodies cause
inflammation of the uterus when present in
excess. The presence of antisperm antibodies in
the female's body kills off the sperms before
they can fertilize the egg.
Although the causes of infertility are many, they
are fairly easy to overcome, especially when
diagnosed in the early stages. Using a holistic
approach, comprising of the prescribed medicines,
following a healthy diet, regular exercise,
abstinence from alcohol, nicotine and other
drugs, stress management, acupuncture etc.
guarantees positive results.
Due to the complex
and multifactoral nature of infertility, the
problem can be solved permanently only by dealing
with it in the holistic way, which tackles all
the root causes of this condition rather than
focusing on specific triggering elements.
