Some Signs of Infertility You Must Know

To raise kids and to see them roaming the house may be a stressful thing for many.  However, for many, this would mean hardly anything else but fun that only families can offer. This is the reason that a greater number of couples have clear-cut plans on bearing children.  Whether it is as soon as possible or not, it is a fact that they are determined to have kids and build a family soon.  Unfortunately, infertility is becoming a major problem encountered by an increasing number of couples worldwide.  Because of this, it’s prudent that couples really aim to understand their capacity to have children. By knowing the different signs of infertility, they would know if they can easily make babies or not.

Even if men can also be infertile, it’s the women who can easily see or feel if they have fertility problems or not. That is, of course, if they discover the the signs of such condition first.  In order to figure out their fertility situation without the need to visit a doctor, a woman must keep track of her menstrual cycle.  She must be able to pinpoint the exact days and dates when she will be in an ovulation period.  It is during such times that she is said to be most fertile.  Hence, there is more chances for the woman to conceive if she is sexually active with a man.

However, there are women who may not be able to conceive a baby even if the sexual intercourse occurred while she was ovulating.  If a woman notices that this has been happening too often, she may indeed be infertile.  Not having the ability to conceive a baby even in her ovulating period is one of the common signs of infertility. Another common sign is amenorrhea, which is actually the lack of menstruation. Women who do not undergo menstruation may have amenorrhea and this is also a sign that they are not ovulating. Since they do not experience ovulation at any time of the month, then it is highly probable that they are also infertile.

Miscarriage, in the strict sense, is not a sign of one’s infertility.  It could be caused by elements such as accidents, depression, and other issues not relevant to the reproductive system.  However, if a woman suffers it with no obvious external reason, she might have to visit her OB/GYN to have reproductive system checked.  It is by way of succeeding medical check-ups that possible symptoms of infertility can be figured out.

Endometriosis, stenosis, and fibroids are some of the signs of infertility. Endometriosis occurs when a woman’s uterine lining is located outside the uterus.  If this happens, the woman won’t only suffer chronic pains in the lower back and the pelvic area but would have also the potential of being infertile.  Stenosis, on the other hand, is the narrowing of the cervix.  Typically, this is cause by swelling in the said area or by tumors.  Fibroids are tissue growths that occur in the uterus itself.  This also prevents the conventional conception of babies.  There are a lot of cures for such situations but a woman must first undergo diagnosis before the suitable treatment can be done.
