Infertility in Women has become a big issue that affects millions worldwide, including in India. As our lifestyle changes day by day, many women face difficulty in conceiving naturally. Stress and Health Issues are increasing. But in this modern technological era, doctors can treat infertility in most cases with the right diagnosis and care.
In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the common causes of infertility in women and guide you on how to fix these problems with medical support, lifestyle changes, and advanced fertility treatments.
What Is Female Infertility?
Infertility in women refers to a woman’s inability to conceive naturally, even after 12 months of regular and unprotected intercourse. That means there is difficulty in carrying a full-term pregnancy.
At Angel Agastya Hospital, we understand that this can be an emotionally challenging journey, and we’re here to support you in all aspects of your motherhood.
🔍 Common Causes of Infertility in Women
Let’s explore the top medical and lifestyle-related causes:
1. Ovulation Disorders
Ovulation disorders are one of the most common causes of infertility in women. These disorders include:
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Hormonal imbalances
- Premature ovarian insufficiency (early menopause)
🩺 Solution:
In this technological era, a good treatment is available that includes some lifestyle changes like weight loss or gain, hormone therapy, and ovulation-including medications.
2. Damage or Blockage of Fallopian Tubes
The fallopian tubes carry eggs developed in the ovaries to the uterus. If these tubes are blocked due to infections, endometriosis, or pelvic surgeries, it can prevent fertilization of the egg.
🩺 Solution:
The solutions are like Tubal surgery, Laparoscopy, or IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) depending on the blockage severity.
3. Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a painful condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. Endometriosis can interfere with egg release and implantation.
🩺 Solution:
Laparoscopic treatment, hormone therapy, and in some cases, IVF can improve your chances of conceiving.
4. Uterine or Cervical Issues
Uterine problems like fibroids, polyps, a septate uterus, or cervical stenosis can prevent implantation or increase the chances of miscarriage.
🩺 Solution:
In most cases, these conditions can be treated with minimally invasive surgeries, such as hysteroscopy or laparoscopy.
5. Decline in Fertility after an Age
Fertility begins to decline after the age of 30 while decline faster after 35. Older age also reduces the quantity and quality of eggs.
🩺 Solution:
Early diagnosis is important, and options can include; egg freezing, IVF with your eggs, or pregnancy with donor eggs, depending on age and ovarian reserve.
6. Lifestyle Factors
- Excessive stress
- Smoking
- Alcohol
- consumption
- Obesity or being underweight
