Causes of infertility

With the rapid development of modern industry, environmental pollution is becoming increasingly serious. In addition, women nowadays are generally busy with their careers. They do not have time to take care of their bodies even during special days such as menstruation, which leads to the increasingly poor physical quality of women today. Especially nowadays, women generally get married relatively late and use contraceptive drugs indiscriminately before marriage, so more and more women suffer from infertility.

What is infertility? Some people may not understand. In fact, infertility literally means that women cannot become pregnant due to certain reasons. There are many reasons for infertility. Now, we will ask experts to explain the causes of infertility in detail.

1. Infertility caused by sexually transmitted diseases : Diseases transmitted through sexual intercourse are collectively called sexually transmitted diseases, including gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia infection, mycoplasma infection and toxoplasmosis infection. Some of these diseases can cause fallopian tube obstruction, some can cause endometritis, uterine muscle wall damage, endocrine dysfunction, etc., leading to infertility; some can cause damage to important organs and endanger life; some can cause miscarriage, premature birth or stillbirth during pregnancy.

2. Immune infertility: refers to the body's immunity to any tissue antigen in the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary (testis) axis. Women may experience anovulation and amenorrhea, while men may experience a decrease in sperm count or reduced sperm motility. The immune infertility usually referred to is in a narrow sense, that is, the infertile couples are normal in all aspects except for anti-sperm immunity or anti-zona pellucida immunity.

3. Endocrine disorders and infertility :

First, the establishment of a normal ovulation cycle for ovulation disorders and ovulation induction requires normal function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis. Dysfunction in any of these parts may lead to anovulation, thus causing amenorrhea, infrequent menstruation, functional uterine bleeding, etc., leading to infertility. Second: amenorrhea. There are many reasons causing amenorrhea. However, from the perspective of infertility, the most important thing is to determine the extent of amenorrhea in order to induce ovulation and achieve pregnancy.

4. Ovarian infertility:

The ovaries are reproductive glands whose main functions are to produce and expel oocytes and secrete steroid hormones. If the ovaries are underdeveloped, dysfunctional, or develop tumors, it will affect human development, health, and fertility.

The above are the causes of female infertility. We can see from the above that in fact many aspects can cause female infertility. In addition to congenital factors, most of the reasons are caused by our lack of attention to our own bodies. Therefore, in normal times, female friends should pay more attention to their physical condition. If you feel unwell, you should pay attention to rest, or go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
