INFERTILITY PROBLEMS IN WOMEN




BASIC INFORMATION


"For Informational Use Only"
For more detailed information contact your health care provider
about options that may be available for your specific situation.


DESCRIPTION

Infertility is described as an inability to achieve pregnancy after 1 year of sexual activity without contraception. The timetable changes to 6 months if the woman is over the age of 35. Infertility is also defined as the failure to carry a pregnancy to term. Infertility occurs in 10 to 15 percent of all couples and in at least 15 percent of couples will experience some degree of infertility at some point with all of its accompanying feelings and frustrations. Female fertility depends on normal functioning of the reproductive tract and the production of hormones necessary for normal sexual development and functioning. About 40 to 50 percent of all infertility is attributed to the female.




FREQUENT SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

  • Inability to conceive. Most women have no obvious signs of infertility until they try to become pregnant and are not successful after one year. Some signs that may point to fertility problems include obesity; heavy, irregular or absent menstrual periods; facial hair; and fluid that leaks from the breasts.





  • CAUSES

    Infertility affects more than 6 million American couples each year. In the past, infertility has been largely attributed to the female, but in reality, infertility affects men and women almost equally. Female-related factors account for 40 percent of infertility, with male-related factors accounting for another 40 percent. A combination of male and female related factors account for about 10 percent of infertility, while the remaining 10 percent of infertility is due to unexplained causes.

    There are many reasons for infertility, including eggs that do not fertilize, sperm that are not able to reach the egg and fertilized eggs that fail to develop well in the early stages.

  • Anatomical abnormalities of the reproductive system. Blocked fallopian Tubes.

  • Hostile uterine environment.


  • Emotional stress.


  • Repeated weight gain/weight loss cycles.


  • Hormone dysfunction, especially thyroid disorders. Low progesterone levels.


  • Vaginitis.


  • Disorders of the cervix, such as infection, laceration or tearing from previous childbirth or narrowing of the cervical opening for any reason.


  • Amenorrhea (lack of menstrual periods) caused by strenuous exercise programs or nutritional disorders (bulimia or anorexia nervosa).


  • Chemical changes in the cervical mucus.


  • Ovarian cysts. Irregular ovulation


  • Endometriosis.


  • Smoking.


  • Tumors.


  • Advanced age (over 34 years).


  • The use of some medications, including oral contraceptives (e.g., Depo-Provera). A large number of women cannot conceive for many months after discontinuing use.


  • Intrauterine device (IUD) (possibly).


  • Disorders probably not related to infertility include: a tilted uterus, small fibroid tumors of the uterus; or inability to achieve sexual orgasm.





  • RISK INCREASES WITH

  • Diabetes mellitus.


  • Stress.


  • Marital discord and infrequent sexual intercourse.


  • Smoking.


  • Genital disorders.


  • Drugs of abuse, such as heroin.





  • PREVENTIVE MEASURES

  • Obtain treatment for any treatable disorder that causes infertility.


  • Avoid preventable causes of infertility. Avoid all alcohol and tobacco products. Do not douche or use artificial lubricants. Do not take any medications that are not prescribed by a physician. Eat a balanced diet. Reduce stress. Exercise and get plenty of sleep. Attain and maintain a healthy weight.





  • EXPECTED OUTCOME

  • Some fertility problems are minor and reversible. Often, no clear cause for infertility is found. Approach treatment with optimism.


  • Research into this area is offering new options to couples.





  • POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS

  • Psychological distress caused by feelings of guilt, inadequacy, and loss of self-esteem.


  • Treatment costs are high and often not covered by insurance.


  • The unknown and possible long-term effects of medications used to increase fertility.




  • TREATMENT


    GENERAL MEASURES

  • Diagnostic tests may include laboratory studies, such as blood studies of hormones; pelvic examination; hysterosalpinogram (x-ray study of the genital tract); postcoital test (PCT), which is a study of the cervical mucus performed 2 to 12 hours after intercourse; endometrial biopsy to rule out luteal phase defect (a defect in hormone production) and possibly `others.


  • Surgical diagnostic procedures, such as laparoscopy (use of a small lighted telescope) to examine reproductive organs.


  • Keep a basal body-temperature chart to become familiar with your ovulation pattern. Have intercourse just before ovulation, which can be determined from the chart.


  • Psychotherapy or counseling, if marital problems exist.


  • Don't use a lubricant during sexual relations. Lubricants may interfere with sperm mobility.


  • Your partner should withdraw his penis quickly from your vagina after ejaculation. If left in, it reduces the number of sperm that can swim toward the egg.


  • After your partner's ejaculation, place pillows under your buttocks to provide an easier downhill swim for the sperm.


  • Maintain a positive attitude. Worry and tension may contribute to infertility.


  • Alternate pregnancy methods include in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in which eggs from the female are harvested, impregnated with sperm from the male, and implanted in the uterus; GIFT or ZIFT (gamete or zygote intrafallopian transfer) which are implant procedures involving female egg and male sperm; intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) whereby a single sperm is injected into a single egg and the resulting zygote is transferred to the uterus.

  • Green Oat (Avena Sativa) Extract (also known as Oat Straw) is an excellent aid if the reason for infertility is the man's ability to maintain an erection.

  • Yin-Yang-Huo (Horny Goat Weed) is a Chinese herb known as a male aphrodisiac and may increase sperm count and semen density.


  • Herbal Remedies: Horny Goat Weed Supplements & Products

  • Heavy use of Echinacea, Ginkgo Biloba, and St. John's Wort may cause infertility in men, and should be avoided.





  • RECOMMENDATIONS

  • Avoid vigorous exercise, hot tubs, and saunas, as they may lead to changes in ovulation and reduced sperm count.


  • Avoid all alcohol; it reduces sperm count in men and can prevent implantation of the fertilized egg in women.


  • Avoid douching, as this appears to reduce fertility. Douching can change the pH in the vagina and can make it a hostile environment for sperm as well as washing away natural vaginal secretions that can help in conception.


  • Do not take any drugs except those prescribed by your health care provider. Inform your health care provider if you are attempting to conceive. He/She will be able to advise you if your medications may inhibit conception or may be dangerous for the fetus.


  • Do not smoke, and avoid being around cigarette smoke.


  • A balanced diet is important. Do not consume animal fats, fried foods, sugar, or junk foods. Do eat pumpkin seeds, bee pollen, or royal jelly. Caution: Do not use bee pollen if you have allergies to pollens. Bee pollen may cause an allergic reaction in some people. Start with a small amount, and discontinue use if a rash, wheezing, discomfort, or other symptom occurs. A healthy diet is important for both partners. The woman should be taking folic acid or a good prenatal/multi-vitamin supplement with folic acid included in it prior to conception. Folic acid will help prevent some types of birth defects (neural tube defects) in a developing baby.

  • Some artificial lubricants can prevent the sperm from reaching the cervix. Saliva may also have a detrimental affect on spermatozoa. Use a lubricant, such as Pre-Seed, specially formulated to safeguard sperm and assist in conception. Pre-Seed is included in The Conception Kit




  • Investigate the possibility of heavy metal intoxication, which may affect ovulation. A hair analysis can reveal heavy metal poisoning. See Hair Analysis for more information.


  • Infertility is stressful, but do all you can to reduce the stresses in your life. Learn stress management techniques to help you deal with stresses that cannot be avoided. See Stress for more information.





  • CONSIDERATIONS

  • Because there are so many causes of infertility, in most cases the opinion of a qualified health care provider is needed.


  • Sperm factors account for approximately 40 percent of all cases of infertility. Some causes of sperm inadequacy (exposure to heat, recent illness, endocrine disorders) may be temporary or reversible, but others are not. Except for artificial insemination, orthodox drug therapy is ineffective in such cases.


  • Varicoceles are treatable with surgery, and fertility can sometimes be restored.


  • Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet has enabled some previously sterile men to become fathers. A gluten-free diet has also enabled women who were previously unable to conceive to become pregnant. See Celiac Disease and Gluten-Restricted Diet for more information.


  • Marijuana and cocaine lower sperm count. Avoid these drugs completely.


  • A deficiency of selenium can lead to sterility in men and infertility in women. See Nutritional Supplements on this page for more information.


  • The transdermal use of natural progesterone cream may benefit infertile women.


  • Herbal Remedies: ProgestaCare, Life-Flo, Natural Progesterone Cream For Women, 4 oz.

    Herbal Remedies: ProgestaCare, Natural Progesterone Cream, Men's Formula, 100% Natural, 3 oz.

  • Caffeine consumption may prevent some women from becoming pregnant.

  • Researchers at Britain's Medical Research Council and Edinburgh University scientists have found a new clue to male infertility: gene defects that interfere with proper sperm production. Located on the Y chromosome, these genes are involved in producing a protein that contributes to fertility. Infertility results when a mutation disrupts its normal functioning. More research may lead to new infertility treatments including gene therapy.


  • Recent advances in the treatment of infertility have focused on making existing techniques more comfortable, as well as expanding treatments to include people who would not have been candidates in the past. One new development is the use of donor eggs to impregnate women who cannot conceive on their own, whether because of damage to the ovaries, age, or some other factor. This is a controversial procedure, and it is being done in select clinics in the United States. It is also extremely expensive.


  • The ulcer medications cimetidine (Tagamet) and ranitidine (Zantac) may decrease sperm count and even produce impotence.


  • If a woman has developed antibodies to her partner's sperm, it may help to have him use a condom for at least 30 days. The sperm antibodies should then decrease, and intercourse without the use of a condom during the time of ovulation may lead to conception.


  • Conception is more likely if the woman is on the bottom position during intercourse.


  • Sperm count reaches its highest level after two or three days of abstinence from any sexual activity, but sperm that remains in the body for longer than a month is less effective at fertilizing an egg.


  • A woman who suffers from pre-menstrual symptoms such as bloating and breast tenderness is probably ovulating, so if she is having difficulty becoming pregnant, the cause probably lies elsewhere.


  • Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) stimulates the pituitary gland and sometimes restores fertility to some women who cannot conceive.


  • Herbal Remedies: PABA / Para-Aminobenzoic Acid, NOW Foods, 500 mg, 100 Caps

  • More women are waiting to bear children in later reproductive years. However, a woman's fertility begins to decrease when she reaches her thirties.


  • Procedures known as transcervial balloon tuboplasty (TBT) and selective fallopian tube canalization have roughly 90 percent success rates in removing obstructions of the fallopian tubes. TBT is similar to the artery-clearing technique called angioplasty. A tiny balloon is inserted into the tube by means of a catheter; when the catheter reaches the blockage, the balloon is inflated to stretch and clear the blocked section of the tube. The procedure may be performed in about 15 minutes under either a local or general anesthesia. Because this procedure is relatively non-invasive (no incision required), the risks involved are few. However, there is a chance that a tube may become blocked again. This happens in approximately 20 percent of the women who undergo this procedure. Fallopian tube canalization produces similar results to those of TBT.


  • Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) may be tried if all other methods have been attempted. These techniques include the following:
    • Gamete Intrafallopian Tube Transfer (GIFT). In this technique, eggs and sperm are mixed and put into the fallopian tube immediately, without waiting to see if fertilization has taken place.


    • Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). In this procedure, which may be used if the man has a low sperm count or too many abnormal sperm, the woman is injected with health sperm extracted from the testes.


    • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Here a woman's eggs are fertilized outside the womb and inserted into the uterus. This is usually done if the fallopian tubes are blocked.


    • Zygote Intrafallopian Tube Transfer (ZIFT). Eggs and sperm are combined, and if an egg is fertilized, it is inserted in the fallopian tube.

  • A University of Michigan study indicated that intense exercise may result in a drop in the production of hormones involved in potency, fertility, and sex drive.


  • A study conducted at the University of Washington in Seattle found that stress may contribute to infertility. Researchers found that women with hormonal problems also reported less emotional support (close friends or family). The results suggest that stress resulting from a lack of emotional support may affect the hormones involved in fertility.


  • Your health care provider must get your consent before performing diagnostic tests to determine the cause of infertility. There may be risks involved any time you penetrate the body using a tube, needle, or viewing instrument, or expose the body to the radiation, drugs, anesthetics, and dye materials used in certain imaging techniques. The risks of any given procedure vary depending on your age and health status, and the skill of the practitioner. Be thoroughly informed about any test or procedure before you consent to having it performed on you.
