Patient's question:
What are the most common factors or causes of female infertility?Doctor's answer:
1~Ovulatory dysfunction or anovulation, common factors or causes include:Central influences: such as hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis dysfunction, pituitary tumors, excessive stress, and anxiety.
Systemic diseases: significant weight loss due to extreme dieting leading to amenorrhea; since women have a menstrual cycle each month, each cycle requires a certain amount of fat consumption. Only by maintaining a normal menstrual cycle can women be capable of reproduction. Modern women are afraid of excess fat affecting their figure, so they often eat and drink less. Excessive fat loss in adult women can cause ovulation cessation or amenorrhea with obvious symptoms. Fat content can also affect estrogen levels, influencing whether these estrogens are active. When the body is too thin, the content of "sex hormone-binding globulin" (SHBG) in the body increases, and this protein can render estrogen ineffective, leading to female infertility. Women planning to have children should avoid losing the opportunity to become mothers for the sake of a slim figure. Other causes include deficiencies in certain vitamins and severe diabetes.
2~Ovarian local factors: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), clinically, obesity, and hirsutism, or any of these. A few patients may experience premature menopause before the age of 35-40, indicating ovarian failure. In some cases, ovulation cannot occur due to the removal of both ovaries due to tumors or other causes. Ovarian endometriosis not only destroys ovarian tissue but can also lead to severe pelvic adhesions, abnormal fallopian tube motility, and the inability of sperm and eggs to meet.
3~The woman's fallopian tubes are not unobstructed or function improperly: Common causes of fallopian tube obstruction include inflammation and tubal endometriosis. Tubal inflammation caused by tuberculosis can lead to obstruction that cannot be treated with recanalization. If a tubal ligation has been performed in the past, tubal recanalization may be possible.
