FEMALE INFERTILITY

female infertility is an inability to get pregnant and have a successful pregnancy.

This is typically diagnosed after a woman has tried to get pregnant (through unprotected sex) for 12 months without a pregnancy with ovulation are the most common reasons for infertility in women.

Infertility is a common disease. At least 10% of women deal with infertility of some kind. The chances of being infertile increases as a woman ages.

CAUSES

Some possible causes of female factor infertility can include:

Problems with the uterus: This includes polyps, fibroids, septum or adhesions inside the cavity of the uterus.

Problems with the fallopian tubes: The most common cause of “tubal factor” infertility is pelvic inflammatory disease, usually caused by chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Problems with ovulation: There are many reasons why a woman may not ovulate (release an egg) regularly. Hormonal imbalances, a past eating disorder, substance abuse, thyroid conditions, severe stress and pituitary tumors are all examples of things that can affect ovulation.

Problems with egg number and quality: Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have, and this supply can “run out” early before menopause

Many factors can increase a woman’s risk of female infertility.

PCOD

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS):

Polycystic ovary syndrome is caused by an imbalance of androgens.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that affects a woman’s hormone levels.

Women with PCOS produce higher-than-normal amounts of male hormones. This hormone imbalance causes their body to skip menstrual periods and makes it harder for them to get pregnant.

Symptoms:

ovarian cysts
hair on the face and body
irregular menstrual periods

The most common PCOS symptoms are:

Irregular periods. A lack of ovulation prevents the uterine lining from shedding every month. Some women with PCOS get fewer than eight periods a year or none at all (10Trusted Source).

Heavy bleeding. The uterine lining builds up for a longer period of time, so the periods you do get can be heavier than normal.

Hair growth. More than 70 percent of women with this condition grow hair on their face and body — including on their back, belly, and chest (11). Excess hair growth is called hirsutism.

Acne. Male hormones can make the skin oilier than usual and cause breakouts on areas like the face, chest, and upper back.

Weight gain.Up to 80 percent of women with PCOS are overweight or have obesity (11).

Male pattern baldness. Hair on the scalp gets thinner and may fall out

Darkening of the skin. Dark patches of skin can form in body creases like those on the neck, in the groin, and under the breasts.

Headaches. Hormone changes can trigger head.

Self care tips :

Adding iron rich foods in the diet can help avoid this problem.
Foods such as spinach, eggs , liver and broccoli are the best iron rich foods to be included.
It is also equally important to consult the doctor on iron supplements and consumption of iron rich foods.

LEUKORRHEA(white discharge)

Vaginal discharge is due to vaginal secretions containing cervical mucus. This can be different shades including white, yellow and a clear shade.

White discharge is also known as leucorrhea.

- It is common in women and may occur during ovulation or just before the menstrual period

and is generally odorless

- Mostly lasts for short duration and rarely longer

- Lab tests and imaging are required in case it is chronic

- Color and odor of the discharge may vary.

Symptoms

menstrual cramps and frequent urination.
Abdominal or lower back pain, constipation, headaches.
Self-diagnosable:
A clumpy and cottage cheese like discharge may indicate a yeast infection.

People may experience:

In case of a yeast infection, vaginal itching and burning may occur
In instances of a bacterial infection, the discharge has a strong fishy odor

Treatment

Self-care:
Maintaining good hygiene and usage of pH products may help.
Medication:
White discharge due to mild infection can be treated with over-the-counter medications.
