What exactly is infertility?

The problems with either conceiving a child, or with
carrying out the pregnancy to its eventual fruitful end, fall under the
definition of infertility. Infertility is the incapability of an individual to
become pregnant, in case of females, or the incapability to induce pregnancy,
in case of the males. The inability of an individual to carry out a pregnancy
to its full term is also dubbed infertility. How does one recognize
infertility? What are the signs of infertility?
Signs of infertility are not always evident. Most people go
through life without knowing there is a problem with their reproductive
systems, attributing failed pregnancies to providence. In fact, miscarriages
are the most common indicator of infertility. Signs of infertility in women:
In women, the signs of infertility are more readily
recognized as compared to men. Endometriosis causes the lining of the uterus to
grow outside the uterus.
Bacterial infections may begin around the uterus and spread
to other reproductive organs, resulting in infertility. Fibroids in the uterus
are indicative of infertility. Tumors in the cervix often cause stenosis, or
narrowing of the cervix, which is a common indicator of infertility.
Ovulating before the tenth day and after the twentieth day
of one's monthly cycle, pre-menstrual spotting, menopausal symptoms, etc. are
indicative of luteal phase defect, and thus in turn are signs too.
Irregular menstrual cycles are the most common indication in
females that they might have some problems with fertility. However, an
irregular menstrual cycle is not conclusive in itself, but it is definitely one
of the signs of infertility.
Issues regarding body weight are often indicators of being
infertile. For a woman, being too thin, or anorexic, will definitely hinder
pregnancy, since the body does not have the proper nutritional requirements, or
the required strength.
Alternatively, obesity can also be a sign. Obesity is
accompanied by hormonal imbalance, which affects the reproductive system and
pregnancy. Signs of Infertility in Men:
Like females, in males too, either obesity, or anorexia, is
an indication that he is infertile. Apart from these, anatomical defects may
also be signs of infertility. Undescended testicles, or damage to scrotum and
the gonads, are possible indicators too. Wearing tight undergarments, or
exposing the testicles to heat, may render the person unable to produce the
required number of sperms, or unable to produce sperms altogether, resulting in
infertility.
Determining the signs of infertility:
There are many medical procedures for detecting the signs
that help to determine whether an individual is infertile or not. Doctors
usually prescribe one or more of the following medical tests:
. Hysterosalpingography.
A dye injected into the vagina is monitored to check for blockage in the
fallopian tubes or uterus.
. Laparoscopy.
If disease and other physical problems are present in the ovaries, fallopian
tubes, or in the uterus, infertility is suggested. This may be detected through
laparoscopy.
Infertility is a problem which can be solved if it is
addressed in the holistic way, which is, using a multifaceted method of
healing. Getting regular health checkups, taking supplements to combat existing
problem, exercising and stress reduction techniques are only part of the
holistic solution to infertility. The holistic approach is not only a surefire
way to increase your chances of conception it also guarantees a safe and
healthy pregnancy.
