Female Infertility

There are various causes of infertility in women. Sometimes, it is not possible to ascertain the cause of infertility, and it is called ‘unexplained’ infertility.

At least 10% of women experience some kind of infertility. The chances of being infertile increase with a woman’s age. Let’s see some possible causes of female infertility

Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS is a hormonal imbalance. The ovaries produce high level of hormones called androgens that causes hormonal imbalance. A high level of androgen prevents ovaries from releasing eggs. PCOS is the most common cause of female infertility, and it affects about 15% of women in their reproductive age.

People with PCOS have irregular and unpredictable periods cycles, which makes getting pregnant difficult. Symptoms include weight gain, excess body hair, thinning hair, and skin problems such as acne, and skin tags. If you are overweight or have obesity or people in your family have PCOS, you have a higher chance of getting PCOS.

If you have experienced any of the symptoms, you should seek expert advice. Contact Meridian IVF for female infertility treatment in Varanasi.

Endometriosis

In endometriosis, tissues similar to the uterus lining grow in other places, especially within your abdomen and pelvic area. These tissues are sensitive to hormone release and can become inflamed during the menstrual cycle. It usually affects people between the ages of 25-40. It can also cause infertility.

Endometriosis can develop on the outside and back of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, vagina, and rectum. It can cause discomfort in the pelvis during monthly periods, heavy menstruation, pain during sex and unease during urination.

If you feel any of the symptoms, and would like to hold an honest discussion with your doctor, you can consult a female doctor in Varanasi at Meridian IVF.

Tubol Factor Infertility

During a natural pregnancy, the fertilised egg moves to the uterus to attach to its lining. However, if there is a tubal damage, it is unlikely to happen. In some cases, the fertilised egg gets implanted into the fallopian tube. This is called ectopic or tubal pregnancy and can lead to serious complications.

Pelvic infections, endometriosis and previous pelvic surgery can cause blocked fallopian tubes.

Diminished Ovarian Reserve

Ovarian reserve is the capacity of a woman’s ovaries to produce healthy, viable eggs. Although eggs are still produced up until menopause, the ovarian reserve and the quality of available eggs being to decrease naturally after the age of 35.
