Patient's question:
What are the common causes of female infertility? We have been married for many years and have been actively trying to conceive with my husband, but there has been no good news so far. I am very anxious.Doctor's answer:
Common causes of female infertility include:1. External genital abnormalities: Conditions such as hermaphroditism, atrophy and adhesion of the external genitalia, tumors of the external genitalia, ulcers of the external genitalia, and trauma to the external genitalia can all affect fertility.
2. Vaginal abnormalities:
a. Developmental abnormalities: Such as hymen atresia, stenosis, rigidity, congenital absence of the vagina, vaginal septum, transverse septum, vaginal stenosis, or upper segment self-locking, all of which can lead to infertility.
b. Vaginal inflammation: Infections with trichomonas, Candida, bacteria, etc., can damage the natural protective function of the vagina, alter the normal acidic environment, cause vaginal inflammation, reduce sperm motility, prolong sperm survival time, and lead to temporary infertility.
3. Cervical abnormalities:
a. Developmental abnormalities and inflammation: Such as cervical remnants, stenosis, relaxation, incomplete development, cervical septum, cervical adhesion, post-cone biopsy, cervical inflammation, polyps, and fibroids, all of which can cause infertility.
