If
after a reasonable period of trying to get pregnant (6-12 months) a couple just
don’t get that state then it is necessary to analyze in order to confirm or rule
out the possible causes of infertility (male
and female). Both have to undergo several studies in an
Infertility clinic to make sure of the possible causes and propose
the most suitable treatment because 50% are related to male infertility and the
other 50% to female infertility.
The most common male infertility problems
are:
- A low number of spermatozoids. It is considered as a normal count if there are
more than 20 millions per milliliter of semen.
-
Morphology changes in the natural movement of the spermatozoids.
-
Problems related to the amount of semen produced (little or non-existent)
-
Sexual activity alterations (impotence, etc.)
-
Immunological problems.
On
the other hand, female infertility is
usually caused by the following:
- Hormonal changes that influence the ovarian maturation or in the ovular
release (ovulation), this is the principal cause of female infertility.
-
Anatomical obstruction of the fallopian tubes where the union of the ovule and
sperm takes place.
-
Endometriosis, in which the uterine tissue invades the adjacent organs causing
infertility.
-
Pelvic inflammatory disease.
-
Changes in the cervical mucus that instead of helping pregnancy contributes to
infertility.
-
Immunological problems.
In order to get the precise diagnosis that causes infertility, the most
important thing is to ask for advice and undergo to the pertinent treatment in a
reliable health care center (infertility clinic). We have to keep in mind that
it depends of the accuracy of the diagnosis to apply the correct treatment to
get pregnant.
