Infertility means the inability to conceive a child. Many couples find it difficult to achieve pregnancy for over a year even after unprotected intercourse. Such couples are diagnosed with infertility and maybe recommend infertility treatment for both males & females.
Though Infertility can affect both men and women, out of all the cases, nearly two-thirds are because of the female factors that make it difficult to get pregnant. Many of these females have less-obvious to no symptoms as infertility is often silent. They don’t have any reason to suspect that they may have infertility until they start trying to conceive.
Not getting pregnant is itself the biggest sign of infertility. Despite this, there can be other symptoms that you can notice to know if you're infertile.
The common signs of Infertility in Women
Irregular or No Periods
One period cycle generally takes around 28 days. For some women, it may be a 31-day cycle or a 35-day cycle, but as long as they are consistent it means you're having a normal period. However, if the woman's cycle doesn't occur in regular periods or varies so greatly then it might be because of some hormonal issues or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) that are preventing it and can contribute to infertility. Whereas, No periods suggest that a woman is not ovulating at all.
Hormonal Imbalance
Identifying abnormal fluctuations in hormones can be difficult. It might be possible that you may not notice them. However, these changes might be associated with infertility. Talk to the fertility doctor, if you experience-
- Facial hair growth
- Severe Acne
- Reduced sex drive
- Sudden weight gain
- Thinning hair
Pain During Intercourse
If you feel pain during intercourse, you may want to consult with fertility doctors at the best IVF center in Lucknow. As such pain might indicate hormonal issues, endometriosis, or other underlying conditions that are lowering the chances of pregnancy.
Painful & Heavy Periods
Sometimes women may experience painful cramps and excessive bleeding for more than seven days, this may be showing a sign of heavy periods or endometriosis (a condition where endometrial-like tissue (glands and stroma) abnormally grow outside the uterus)
Age & Other Medical Conditions
Women's age is also a crucial factor in determining fertility. Generally, women younger than the age of 35 have good chances of conceiving. But, as she grows older the quality and quantity of eggs decline, which may lead to trouble in conceiving. Along, other medical conditions can also be a contributing factor that affects fertility such as -
- Damaged fallopian tubes
