As we mentioned in previous articles, infertility is defined as inability of a couple to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. It effects over 5 millions couple alone in the U. S. and many times more in the world. Because of unawareness of treatments, only 10% seeks help from professional specialist. In this article, we will discuss what exhibits uterine conditions to cause infertility.
1. Irregular cells Growth
Endometriosis and fibroids may increase the risk of infertility because they interfere with the implantation of fertilized egg into the uterus or the ability of uterus to carry the pregnancy to full term if they grow large enough.
2. Birth defects
Birth defect which causes abnormal formation of uterus may interfere with the normal conception and some of these malforming may never be diagnosed such as:
a) Unicornuate uterus is formed from one only of the paired mullerian ducts while the other mullerian duct does not develop.
b) Sepate uterus
Women who was born with sepate uterus and bicornate uterus may see their pregnancy end with premature birth of miscarriage because of little room for the fetus to grow.
c) Rokitansky syndrome
An inherit birth defect with a malformation of vagina and absence of uterus.
3. Sexual transmitted diseases
Gonorrhea is sexual transmitting disease caused by bacteria Neisseria gonococcus leading to infection and inflammation to the uterus and Fallopian tube in women and epididymitis in men resulting in tubal damage causing infertility and miscarriage.
4. Asherman's syndrome
Asherman's syndrome is a condition characterized by the presence of scars within the uterine cavity. It is caused by scars after a D&C is performed on a recently pregnant uterus including a missed or incomplete miscarriage, birth, or elective termination in removing retained products of conception and placental remains causing endometrium inability to response to the estrogen during menstrual cycle leading to infertility.
5. Immune system
Immune system guards our body from foreign bacteria and virus, but sometimes may be over react to our body infection or inflammation or allergic response causing immune system attacks the reproductive sperm in men and women alike resulting in infertility
