Some of the most common and often treatable causes of infertility have been unveiled, according to FOX News.
If women find out that they don't ovulate or are suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome which causes irregular menstrual cycles and an increase in male hormones, the first thing that they can do is to have a healthy weight, according to Dr. Jennifer Hirshfeld-Cytron, a reproductive endocrinologist with Fertility Centers of Illinois. She also suggests a screening for polycystic ovary syndrome as this may also help in ruling out other medical conditions.
Likely, if male factor infertility is responsible for a couple's inability to conceive, losing weight and quitting smoking may very well be the key. It is also highly suggested that the guy should consult with a doctor and undergo a physical examination along with a semen analysis. Depending on the actual problem, other possible treatments like medications, Intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF) may also be recommended.
On the other hand, if the fertility problem is being caused by the woman's low healthy egg count, dealing with weight and vices like drinking and smoking should also be take into consideration. If a woman suffers from endometriosis, a disorder that causes the lining of the uterine cavity to appear in the abdominal cavity, it is best to seek treatment as soon as you're decided that you actually want to get pregnant. If the woman's fallopian tubes are open, Clomid, a medication that causes you to ovulate in combination with the IUI may be the best approach. However, consulting with a doctor is still highly recommended.
