Top 5 causes of female infertility

Top 5 causes of female infertility
share

Sterility in a woman is the inability to become pregnant after at least a year of pregnancy search.  

What is the origin or causes responsible for female sterility?

Some of the causes or factors that may be responsible for female infertility are:

1. Ovulation disorders

This means that ovulation is non-existent or infrequent. Problems with hormonal regulation may have their origin in the hypothalamus or the pituitary gland or the ovary. Among these alterations we would have polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothalamic dysfunction, premature ovarian failure or excess of prolactin, for example. 

2. Damage in the Fallopian tubes

Blocked Fallopian tubes can interrupt the passage of sperm to the egg, as well as the passage of the fertilized egg to the uterus. This blockage could come from STDs that have caused a pelvic inflammatory disease or an infection in the uterus. Other causes could be previous surgery on the abdomen or pelvis. 

3. Endometriosis

In endometriosis, the endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus. This abnormal growth, and the surgical procedure to remove the tissue, can form scars capable of blocking the Fallopian tubes. 

Endometriosis can also damage the ovary since the formation of endometriosis cysts (endometriomas) can decrease a woman's ovarian reserve.  

4. Uterine causes

The presence of large fibroids or fibroids that affect the uterine cavity as well as congenital malformations of the uterus could affect implantation and can cause difficulty in becoming pregnant or in the case of malformations, increase the risk of misscarriage of the woman. 

5. Risk factors

There are factors that increase the chances of infertility, such as age, smoking, overweight, alcoholism or a sexual background in which unprotected sex has caused multiple STDs.
