Female Infertility - Causes and Investigation


 Most common causes of infertility in women are; absence of ovulation or insufficient quality of the eggs (oocytes) for fertilization. Additionally, many factors such as; age, stress, excessive use of tobacco and alcohol, sexually transmitted and infectious diseases, being overweight or underweight, athletic training, lack of the essential nutrients resulting from a poor diet and any factors leading to hormonal imbalances may act on a woman's fertility.

Aging has a crucial effect on a woman's fertility. After the age of 30, a woman's chance of having a baby decrease expeditiously each year. Mainly because the health of a woman's ovaries to release eggs and health of the eggs declines whereas, risks of having a miscarriage, as well as risks arising from a woman's personal health problems which may interfere with fertility increases. Therefore women in their 30's who have been trying to get pregnant for six months or longer should immediately consult their doctors for a complete fertility evaluation. As for most healthy women under the age of 30, should not worry unless they have been trying for at least a year.

Infertility testing and evaluation starts at your gynecologist's, where a sonogram will be used to find out the number of potential eggs in each ovary on the 2nd or 3rd day of your menstrual period. Besides, hormone testing will be useful in order to make an evaluation of your ovarian function including FSH, LH, Estradiol, Prolactin, TSH and AMH. Depending on the results, the most appropriate course of action will be decided.
