Children has
always been held as source of boundness joy and happiness in virtually all
communities Ancient and modern, while on the other side of the coin,
Infertility which is defined as the inability to achieve a pregnancy after
some years of living together is viewed as a curse particularly in developing
communities were children are viewed as a source of security, the one to take
care of them during old age.
CAUSES:
Generally,
infertility is divided into two primary and secondary.
PRIMARY INFERTILITY: Causes includes:
·
ENDOMETRIOSIS: That is, when the endometrium [the lining of the womb] grows on the outside edges of the tube,
causing scarring.
·
DEFECTIVE OVUM: When the released ova
failed to enter the fallopian tube during ovulation. Moreover, when the womb
and fallopian tube develop abnormally, it cannot accommodate the growth of
fetus.
·
Sometimes too, a woman may produce anti-bodies
that fight against the husbands sperm.
·
Moreover, having sex when ovulation has not occurred or after ovulation has occurred and the eggs have died also contribute
to primary infertility. This last problem occurs to couples who do not have
sex regularly. To overcome it, the man must put a real effort to understands
her wife's menstrual cycle. They should also endeavor to have sex regularly.
·
In men Testosterone deficiency also lead to infertility.
SOLUTION:
Couples with this
problem should never give up rather they should consult various fertility
experts so as to keep a breast with current therapies that offers solution to
some of the causes of primary infertility.
SECONDARY INFERTILITY:
Also known as acquired infertility because originally the
victims possed the ability to procreate. According to a source [Business
Hallmakk July 11, 2011] secondary infertility accounts for 65% of all infertile
cases.
CAUSES:
·
Women who marry late may not be able to get
pregnant before they reach mono pause.
·
Subjecting the male reproductive system to
intense heat such as when a man wears tight nylon pants regularly for a long
time or sitting on a hot objects
contributes to infertility since heat denatures the sperm which is
predominantly made or protein.
·
Abortion
and Infection diseases are without doubt the greatest caused of infertility. In
women this two agents cause the blockage of the fallopian tubes, and when this
happens the sperm of the male will be unable to pass through, and therefore
fertilization of the released eggs will be impossible.
Abortion
and infection Diseases can also cause the tube to either tear or rupture, and
this can be dangerous as it leads to en-topic pregnancy [pregnancy outside the
uterine cavity].
·
In men
infection invades the urinary tract, enters the vas defer-ens where it destroyes
vital sperm cells causing angiosperm [low sperm count] bligospermia and
azospermia [absence of sperm cell]. Medical research indicate that for a pregnancy to occur a man must produce at least 25 million viable sperm cell per
millimeter or ejaculation for baby girls, and a much higher percentage for
boys.
·
Infectious diseases also enters the prostrate
gland. Among the function of prostrate is the release of a flude during
ejaculation. This flude then mix with the sperm thereby making it actively
motile [able to swim].
However, in a person with infection, the
prostrate may be unable to release the fluid. Thus making the sperm non motile.
SOLUTION:
It lies in the
complete eradication of the infection. Consult a qualified medical
professional.
