Infertility<\/a> is a medical condition wherein the couple is unable to conceive even after 12 months of regular sexual relationship without birth control regulations. An estimated one in eight couples across most parts of the world are said to have difficulty in conceiving, which shows that infertility is on the increase.<\/p>\n

FERTILIZATION PROCESS<\/strong><\/p>\n

This process involves conceiving of egg by the woman. For that the woman\u2019s egg (also called ovum) released from an ovary when she ovulates, has to be combined with her man\u2019s sperm.<\/p>\n

HOW THEY OCCUR?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Woman\u2019s ovum takes between 12 and 16 days from the start of her last period wherein she has a consistent monthly cycle of 28-30 days. Then the ovum travels down a Fallopian tube to the middle of the womb (uterus) over 12-24 hours.<\/p>\n

Man\u2019s sperm lodges itself near the neck of the womb (cervix) when he ejaculates during sex. Then the sperm travels past the cervix to lodge itself into the main part of the uterus, and then into the Fallopian tubes.<\/p>\n

Once enough sperm lodges itself in the Fallopian tubes, then it combines (fertilize) with the ovum to produce an embryo, which is tiny and travels down into the uterus and attaches itself to the uterus\u2019s lining. Later the tiny embryo grows and matures into a baby.<\/p>\n

\u00a0CAUSES OF INFERTILITY<\/a><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>IN WOMEN<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Issues with Ovulation: This involves not enough production of eggs, a problem that affects about 3 in 10 couples. The reasons for the same include:<\/li>\n
  2. Early (premature) menopause.<\/li>\n
  3. Hormonal problems<\/li>\n
  4. Excess of weight or too little of weight.<\/li>\n
  5. Excess of exercise which affects the hormone balance which in turn affects ovulation.<\/li>\n
  6. Long-term illnesses like uncontrolled diabetes, cancers and kidney failure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
