INFERTILITY - CAUSES AND TREATMENT

INFERTILITY 

This is the inability to produce offspring.  Many couples are temporarily infertile research has shown. The likelihood of becoming pregnant on any one occasion is only about 1%. It is important to note that infertility is not the same as sterility, because an infertile person may not have any reproductive system disorder.

Wide research and study have shown that 50% of women under the age of 30 who have regular intercourse can become pregnant within 6 months, while about 90% may be pregnant within a year, others within 2 years and takes longer for older women.

GENERAL CAUSE OF INFERTILITY AMONG COUPLES (FOR MEN AND WOMEN)

Complete ignorance about the mechanics of intercourse, is one of the major problem that hinder pregnancy among couples, other reasons are other sexual difficulties that disrupt fertility which among others include; frigidity and impotence.

Another known cause is ovulation in the woman, a woman who ovulates only occasionally and has a partner with low sperm count will greatly reduce the chance of pregnancy.

There are other physical reasons or conditions that hamper a couples chance of getting pregnant.

CAUSES OF INFERTILITY IN A MAN

If any disorder such as infections like prostatitis, mumps, blockage of the vas deference, epididymitis or any venereal diseases affects;

•  The total  number of sperm produced during ejaculation and

• The number of viable sperm produced.

Spermatozoa are produced at moderate testicles temperature,  undescended testicles are too warm to produce healthy sperm. Too high or too low temperature may not encourage the production of viable sperm. Study show that some men may become temporarily infertile in hot environments or from wearing tight under-wears that holds the testicles too close to the body.

Varicose veins of the spermatic cord increases the blood flow of the testicles, and keep them too warm, although this is seen on rear occasions. Take intake of certain drugs can also affect a man’s fertility, chromosome abnormalities, cystic fibrosis, and irradiation of the testicles can contribute also.
