Infertility is a medical condition that can cause psychological, physical, mental, spiritual, and medical detriments to the patient.

Infertility affects millions of people of reproductive age worldwide – and has an impact on their families and communities. Estimates suggest that between 48 million couples and 186 million individuals live with infertility globally.  According to WHO

 

Infertility means not being able to get pregnant after at least one year of trying (or 6 months if the woman is over age 35). If a woman keeps having miscarriages, it is also called infertility. Female infertility can result from age, physical problems, hormone problems, and lifestyle or environmental factors. Most cases of infertility in women result from problems with producing eggs. In primary ovarian insufficiency, the ovaries stop functioning before natural menopause. In polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the ovaries may not release an egg regularly or they may not release a healthy egg.

 

About a third of the time, infertility is because of a problem with the woman. One third of the time, it is a problem with the man. Sometimes no cause can be found.

 

Causes of Female Infertility:

 

Failure To Ovulate:

The most common overall cause of female infertility is the failure to ovulate, which occurs in 40% of women with infertility issues. Not ovulating can result from several causes, such as:

• Ovarian or gynecological conditions, such as primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

• Aging, including "diminished ovarian reserve," which refers to a low number of eggs in a woman's ovaries due to normal aging

• Endocrine disorders, such as thyroid disease or problems with the hypothalamus, which affect the hormones produced by the body so that there might be too much or too little of a hormone or group of hormones.

Problems in the Menstrual Cycle:

Problems with the menstrual cycle, the process that prepares the female body for pregnancy, can lead to infertility. The menstrual cycle includes several phases, and problems at any one of the stages can lead to difficulty getting pregnant or to infertility.

 

Structural Problems with the Reproductive System:

Structural problems usually involve the presence of abnormal tissue in the fallopian tubes or uterus.

 

If the fallopian tubes are blocked, eggs are not able to move from the ovaries to the uterus and sperm is not able to reach the egg for fertilization. Structural problems with the uterus, such as those that may interfere with implantation, can also cause infertility.

 

Some specific structural problems that can cause infertility include:

 

• Endometriosis, when tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus is found in other places, such as blocking the fallopian tubes

 

• Uterine fibroids, growths that appear within and around the wall of the uterus, although most women with fibroids do not have problems with fertility and can get pregnant. However, some women with fibroids may not be able to get pregnant naturally or may have multiple miscarriages or preterm labor.

 

• Polyps, which are noncancerous growths on the inside surface of the uterus. Polyps can interfere with the function of the uterus and make it difficult for a woman to remain pregnant after conception. Surgical removal of the polyps can increase the chances for a woman to get pregnant.

 

• Scarring in the uterus from previous injuries, infections, or surgery. Scarring may increase the risk of miscarriage and may interfere with implantation, thus leading to infertility.

 

• An unusually shaped uterus, which can affect implantation and the ability to carry a pregnancy to term

 

Failure of an Egg to Mature Properly:

Eggs may not mature properly for a variety of reasons, ranging from conditions such as PCOS, to obesity, to a lack of specific proteins needed for the egg to mature.

 

An immature egg may not be released at the correct time, may not make it down the fallopian tubes, or may not be able to be fertilized.

 

Implantation Failure:

Implantation failure refers to the failure of a fertilized egg to implant in the uterine wall to begin pregnancy. While the specific cause of implantation failure are often unknown, possibilities include:

• Genetic defects in the embryo

• Thin endometrium (pronounced en-doh-MEE-tree-uhm)

• Embryonic defects

• Endometriosis

• Progesterone resistance

• Scar tissue in the endometrial cavity

 

Endometriosis:

Endometriosis occurs when the cells that normally line the uterine cavity, called the endometrium, are found outside the uterus instead.

 

Research has found a link between infertility and endometriosis. Studies show that between 25% and 50% of infertile woman have endometriosis and between 30% and 40% of women with endometriosis are infertile. Scientists do not know the exact cause of infertility in women with endometriosis.

 

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS):

PCOS is one of the most common causes of female infertility. It is a condition in which a woman's ovaries and, in some cases, adrenal glands produce more androgens (a type of hormone) than normal. High levels of these hormones interfere with the development of ovarian follicles and release of eggs during ovulation. As a result, fluid-filled sacs, or cysts, can develop within the ovaries.

 

Researchers estimate that 5% to 10% of women have PCOS. The exact cause of PCOS is unknown, but current research suggests that a combination of genetic and environmental factors leads to the disease.

 

Primary Ovary Insufficiency (POI):

POI is a condition in which a woman's ovaries stop producing hormones and eggs at a young age. Women with POI ovulate irregularly, if at all, and may have abnormal levels of ovarian and pituitary hormones due to problems with their ovaries.

 

Women with POI often have trouble getting pregnant. However, pregnancy is still possible, though rare. About 5% to 10% of women with POI get pregnant without medical treatment.

 

Uterine Fibroids:

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that form inside the uterus. Uterine fibroids can cause symptoms in some cases, depending on their size and location. Scientists do not know what causes fibroids to form, but it is believed that there may be a genetic basis.

 

Fibroids can contribute to infertility and are found in 5% to 10% of infertile women. Fibroids located in the uterine cavity (as opposed to those that grow within the uterine wall) or those that are larger than 6 centimeters in diameter are more likely to have a negative effect on fertility. Fibroids are more likely to affect a woman's fertility if they:

• Change the position of the cervix, which can reduce the number of sperm that enter the uterus

• Change the shape of the uterus, which can interfere with the movement of sperm or implantation

• Block the fallopian tubes, which prevents sperm from reaching the egg and keeps a fertilized egg from moving to the uterus

• Interfere with blood flow to the uterus, which can prevent the embryo from implanting

Autoimmune Disorders:

Autoimmune disorders cause the body's immune system to attack normal body tissues it would normally ignore. Autoimmune disorders, such as Lupus, Hashimoto's and other types of Thyroiditis, or Rheumatoid Arthritis, may affect fertility.

 

The reasons for this are not fully understood and differ between diseases, but they are thought to involve inflammation in the uterus and placenta or medications used to treat the diseases. Both men and women can make antibodies that attack sperm or the reproductive organs.
