Have you ever thought why few decades back, a
childless couple was hard to find? I would like to shed some light on factors
other than the natural or medical reasons due to which women fail to reproduce.
The new sedentary lifestyle changes have not only increased diseases like
diabetes, Blood Pressure and cholesterol, but it has also created a new menace
- infertility. Stress, age, poor diet, sexually transmitted infections,
medications, abortions, alcoholism, smoking and drug use adversely affects
fertility in women.
- Medications may impact fertility. Some medications and steroids prescribed to treat asthma , BP and thyroids have found to upset the normal ovulation pattern in women.
- Alcoholism, smoking and drug use in women can also cause ovulation disturbances and endometriosis often resulting in infertility. Smoking can not only block the cervix and fallopian tubes but also cause premature aging of uterus, resulting in early menopause and sometimes miscarriages.http://bangaloreivf.blogspot.ae/2014/08/early-diagnosis-of-endometriosis-for.htmlhttp://bangaloreivf.blogspot.ae/2014/08/blocked-or-damaged-fallopian-tubes-can.html
- Intake of a healthy and nutritious diet will go a long way in enhancing
fertility. Zero figure is the fad of the day and lot of women are exercising
and dieting vigorously for achieving this goal. But being both underweight and obese
can impair fertility.
- Age is also a deciding factor in pregnancy. Women are born with a fixed number of eggs. As the years pass, the number and quality of the eggs diminish and eventually gets depleted. So chances of conceiving will keep going down after the age of 30 and will considerably reduce after the age of 40. The trend of late marriages and postponing pregnancy for a long period, even after marriage is one of the major causes of infertility.http://bangaloreivf.blogspot.ae/2014/08/why-do-women-end-up-having-poor-quality.html
- Too much stress while trying very hard for the pregnancy itself can cause infertility problems. Though the exact connection between stress andinfertility is not proved, studies show there is definitely a link. So avoidstressing yourself, relax and be happy. http://bangaloreivf.blogspot.ae/2015/01/scientific-benefits-of-regular-sexual.html
- MTP or medically terminated pregnancy is usually safe, but can sometimes cause complications like infections leading to blockage of fallopian tubes resulting in infertility. http://bangaloreivf.blogspot.ae/2014/08/blocked-or-damaged-fallopian-tubes-can.html
- Sexually transmitted diseases like Chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause infection in fallopina tubes and uterus permanently damaging them. Safe sex practice and sex with single partner is strictly advised to avoid infertility issues.
So if few life style changes are made, the trauma undergone by many of the childless couples can be avoided. Exercise regularly in moderation, take a healthy diet and practice some relaxing hobbies like painting, music or yoga.
