Sign of Infertility: The Most Obvious
Infertility is a health concern faced by an increasing number of couples, whether newly weds or die-hard couples who keep on trying for years now to bear children. Inasmuch as it is heroic for them not to lose hope, it’s still the wisest decision to talk to a physician and infertility specialist at that to seek for proper redress.
The most obvious sign of infertility is from women, partly because they are the bearers or should we say the receptacle of the male sperm which is responsible for ovulation. When an adult woman experiences irregularities in her menstrual cycle she becomes a good candidate for infertility. There are many causes to that. It might be that there are deformed reproductive organs involved. Not having regular menstrual cycle is also a sign for having PCOS or polycystic ovarian syndrome. It’s a health condition where the woman’s hormone levels are erratic.
Men however are not exempt from it. The most obvious sign of infertility for them is having undescended testicles. This condition is common among male babies in their first few months. The testicles will eventually move down to the scrotum. If this doesn’t happen, they should be treated by the doctor. For adult men who have undescended testicles, there is no reprieve but to remove the whole testicle since it becomes utterly useless.
When a woman is so thin that she lacks healthy body fats, there is a great reason for her not to get pregnant. Lack of the proper nutrients is one of the common reasons for infertility that can be controlled. Too little body fat is common among women who are athletic or those who suffer from eating disorders. This happens since menstruation may cease as it tries to conserve energy.
There are other signs of infertility that also happen to be reasons for it, but the others are not so obvious and would require the man or woman to see the doctor. An example of this is malformed reproductive organs as mentioned above or worse it can be because of central nervous system deficiencies such as health issues in the spinal cord or the pituitary gland.
However, here is the real score. When you have been trying to bear children and have been sexually active without the use of birth control for six months straight and still get no signs of being successful, it’s high time you seek for medical advice. After all it’s not a game of trial and error.
