Infertility Symptoms
Wondering why you and your husband are still childless? Wondering why you’re unable to get pregnant even if you and your husband have had unprotected sex for the longest time?
Maybe it’s time for you to consult your physician why you can’t get pregnant. Maybe it’s time for you to find out if you have infertility symptoms. You have your doctor to do that for you via a thorough examination of your reproductive system’s activities. You have books on this subject just in case you want to do self-examination. We also have the web for further reference.
Because if you discover now – this early into your marriage – it may not be too late to correct your infertility and help you conceive.
Now before you visit your physician, you might as well do some self-examining first. To find out if you have infertility symptoms, try considering you and your partner’s sexual history.
According to studies, “male” factors of infertility include impotence, environmental pollutants, retrograde ejaculation, hormone deficiency, decreased sperm count, and scarring from sexually transmitted disease. The “female” factors, on the other hand, ovulation dysfunction, tumor, ovarian cysts, hormone imbalance, poor nutrition, endometriosis, pelvic infection, and an abnormality of the cervix.
These are a few of the causes of infertility. Now, try to see if you or your partner experienced any of these causes of infertility prior to your marriage. Be careful when asking your spouse as you might hurt his ego. Be honest too when revealing to him a few details of your sexual activities before you became a couple. This should help you kick-off your search for a treatment to your infertility problems.
Infertility symptoms can also be pinpointed through one’s age. You see, the older a woman gets, the lesser the likelihood of her getting pregnant especially if the woman is between the age of 35 and 40. Researches reveal that the chances for women in the latter age group to get pregnant drop to less than 10% per month.
Aside from the mentioned causes of infertility, you might want to examine you and your partner’s current lifestyle and health, which could also be causing your being unable to conceive: the presence of a chronic disease such as diabetes, anovulatory menstrual cycles, an eating disorder especially in women, mumps and varicocele in men, and defects of the uterus such as myoma.
You must be aware of these infertility symptoms if you want your physician to have an easier time examining the both of you and if you want to receive the appropriate treatment for the cause or causes of your infertility problems. These are symptoms that are not so difficult to spot if you take the time and effort to do some looking back in the past and if you thoroughly examine your present physical state.
