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.
