Description

KAUR CARES CLINIC Infertility is a complex issue that can affect both men and women. In women, several factors can contribute to infertility, including: Ovulation Disorders: • Anovulation: Failure to release an egg each month. • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): A hormonal imbalance that can affect ovulation and lead to irregular periods. Fallopian Tube Problems: • Blockages: Scarring or damage to the fallopian tubes can prevent the egg from reaching the uterus. • Endometriosis: The growth of tissue similar to the uterine lining outside the uterus can lead to scarring and blockage. Uterine Factors: • Fibroids: Noncancerous growths in the uterus can affect fertility. • Uterine abnormalities: Congenital abnormalities or structural problems in the uterus. Other Factors: • Age: Fertility naturally declines with age, especially after 35. • Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid disorders or autoimmune diseases, can affect fertility. • Lifestyle factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and drug use can also impact fertility. Diagnosis: Diagnosing infertility often involves a comprehensive evaluation, which may include: • Medical history: Review of menstrual cycles, sexual history, and medical conditions. • Physical exam: Pelvic exam to check for abnormalities. • Lab tests: Hormone tests, ovulation tests, and semen analysis. • Imaging tests: Ultrasound to check for abnormalities in the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Treatment: Treatment options for female infertility vary depending on the underlying cause and may include: • Medications: To stimulate ovulation or regulate hormone levels. • Surgery: To correct structural abnormalities or remove blockages. • Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART): Such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI).
