Causes For Infertility

There are no easy answers for infertility, and why it is so hard for some women to conceive - but there ARE some definite causes, and most couples have more than one factor.

The most important thing in beginning the process of trying to conceive, is to know your own body - and your doctor will become instrumental in helping you to do this. Recognizing the signs of ovulation, determining whether there are other obstacles preventing you and your partner from conceiving will be 2 of MANY avenues you and your physician will explore.

Ovulation Factors

Chromosomal abnormalities and endocrine dysfunctions interfering with infertility, are to be found as the leading causes of ovulatory infertility. Perhaps the three most common ones are emotional stress, strenuous exercise and excessive weight loss or weight gain. Irregular ovulation cycle, accompanied by poor cervical mucus (mentioned below) are known factors. There are replacement hormones or drugs available that can induce ovulation.

Cervical / Uterine Factors

Cervical and uterine factors usually have identifiable problems. They are physical problems or mucus related problems. The physical problems of the cervix is more related to recurrent miscarriages than a cervical evaluation. The mucus related problems usually involve three possible issues:

  1. There is not enough mucus for the sperm to survive.
  2. The mucus is too thick for sperm to survive.
  3. The mucus contains sperm antibodies.

Tubal & Peritoneal Factors

Tubal factor infertility accounts for about 20-25% of all cases of infertility.

This category includes cases in which the woman has completely blocked fallopian tubes and also women who have either one blocked tube or no tubal blockage but tubal scarring or other tubal damage. Tubal factor infertility is usually caused by either pelvic infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or pelvic endometriosis. Sometimes it can be caused by scar tissue that forms after pelvic surgery.

In cases of relatively minor tubal damage it is sometimes difficult to be certain that the infertility problem is solely due to the tubal damage and there are not other significant contributing causes to the problem conceiving. In general, the standard testing is performed on all couples and if no other cause is found to explain the infertility the presumptive diagnosis can be tubal factor, or if the degree of tubal scarring is very minimal, a diagnosis of unexplained infertility may be warranted.

Peritoneal factors include endometriosis, appendicitis (especially when ruptured), abdominal or pelvic operations, infectious or non-infectious pelvic inflammatory diseases.
