Causes and Symptoms of Female Infertility: There are various reasons. A woman may be physically incapable of conceiving by nature, may have some kind of functional abnormalities or there may be some problem with the hormones. The ovulation may not occur properly or might not occur at all. The fallopian tubes may be damaged, partially or fully blocked. All these conditions may also be the result of some disease or even a serious accident.

All the more, infertility can also result because of psychological reasons. Stress, extreme fear, depression, anxiety also make a woman incapable of conception. But such causes are not permanent and can be removed by suitable psychological and physical treatment.

Inflammation of the uterus also can lead to complications that result in infertility. This happens mostly because of bacterial infection that is spread via the sexual route. If a woman has TB of the uterus, she is also prone to this inflammation causing bacteria. Similarly, a woman who has undergone many abortions and those too in unhealthy conditions is under the risk of infertility.

A woman may suffer from Endometriosis, in which the cells that form a lining around the uterus start growing abnormally and hamper the release of egg. Even if the egg is released it’s mostly blocked in the fallopian tubes. In either case conception is not possible. Tumors in the uterus are also known to harm the uterus lining and also can result in the displacement of the cervix.

Sometimes, by a quirk of nature the capacity of a woman to produce eggs comes to a standstill at a very early age. This is known as early-menopause. Such a woman can’t conceive at all. Excessive use of alcohol and drugs also may lead to infertility.

As far as Treatment Of Infertility is concerned, in many of the cases it can be cured by following a healthy life-style. Couples need to reduce their stress levels and plan their sexual activity. A very simple technique can be that a woman lies on the bed with her legs up after the partner has ejaculated his semen in her. This helps because sometimes, the sperms are not that powerful and need some extra time to bring about fertility.

In case of other diseases like Endometriosis, surgery, medicines or a combination of both can bring about the solution. Fallopian tubes are mostly opened up by means of surgery. If the problem of inadequate ovulation is there, medicines such as clomiphene are quite effective. Then, there are the techniques like in-vitro fertilization in which fertilization is done outside the body and the zygote is inserted into the woman’s body.

There are various ways in which you could ascertain if you are carrying a single baby or twins in your womb. Some of them are mentioned in the lines to come could be noticed even in the privacy of your home by your own self. Of course one thing holds true in this case and that many a time most of the symptoms are similar to the normal cases. Especially, the morning sickness and hunger pangs which hold true in almost all situations. Yet there are several other symptoms which somehow hardly fail to ascertain the number of babies you would eventually deliver.

Morning sickness is more when talking of expectant mothers carrying twins. In their care they begin to experience morning sickness much before the rest. Secondly, the hunger pangs in their care are stronger and more urgent which isn’t true in many other cases. They also end up eating more and at quicker shorter intervals.

Frequent fetal movement is another symptom which could mean you are carrying twins and not just one. They often gain more weight than the others when carrying twins which is obvious. When talking of the regular ultra sound sessions, you will often hear two hearts beating instead of one.

There are several ways to find out if you are going to have twins. Albeit most of the symptoms, like has been mentioned in the aforementioned lines, could be same in all cases yet there are a few which differ from situation to situation.

Make sure you take ample rest for when it comes to twins you really need to save your energy for the post delivery months as it is extremely tiring for parents to bring up twins.

Tubal Ligation Reversal Surgery

Tubal ligation reversal is the surgery performed to unblock the fallopian tubes to allow fertilization of the sperm so that the women could conceive.

There are many reasons for performing tubal ligation and the tubal ligation reversal is performed when the women decides to have a child. Only other means of having a baby without a reversal is by IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). But many are not aware of the reversal surgery at all.

The reversal surgery doesn’t always guarantee 100% chances of conceiving. In the tubal ligation reversal surgery the surgeon cuts the parts of the fallopian tube that are joined to open them and uses micro surgical techniques to reconnect them. This results in shorter fallopian tube. If the surgery is a success then the women would have an open fallopian tube. But the surgery is not a success at all times. This happens to the size and structure of the fallopian tube. They are very small and are very complicated. There are numerous tissues, muscles, connecting tissues and fimbria.  Scars due could develop on the fallopian tube after the surgery and form adhesions. The adhesions could block the tubes again.

After Precautions and Treatments

To prevent scars, herbal supplements should be taken for faster healing of the delicate tissues of the tube.
However if a scar has developed or the women is not able to conceive even after a successful reversal surgery then the fallopian tube should be cleared naturally by the 7-step process.

These processes are using herbal tampons and chamomile douche to reduce the intensity of the scar and adhesions, take a Chinese Fertility Massage to increment the effect of the herbal tampons and perform Fertility Yoga for stimulating the tubes and stretching and separating the scar tissue and adhesions.

There are herbal supplements available for speeding up healing process and reducing the scar and adhesions, for body cleansing, to improver fertility. The natural vitamins and mineral supplements also do the same job.  There are CDs are available in the market that gives ideas on relaxing the fallopian tubes and prevent spasms.

But there are others who cannot accept this theory.  They want to look attractive, smart, have a figure as before pregnancy and also have the joy of motherhood.  This is logical and the right way to think too. If the flabby muscles are not taken care of soon after pregnancy then it would be very difficult to get ride of them later on.

It’s not a difficult job but needs dedication, planning and organisation. It’s a small price to pay to have an attractive and feminine figure even delivery. A healthy, confident and happy mother would be a lot cheerful and would attend to the baby’s needs with more energy and enthusiasm.

Following the below written tips would help to restore the hour glass figure for females.

• The mothers should eat a balanced healthy diet. If they had been eating a nutritional rich diet without adding much of fat or sugars they should continue doing so if not should switch over to it. But they could always treat themselves to chocolates, pastries once in a while.

• Doing post natal exercise is very important to bring out flexibility and strength in the muscles. The exercise should be rigorous but good enough to burn off the calories. Any sort of exercise could be chosen but important facts to remember are to have regular movement and not ideally sit or lie down in a place. Doing Yoga everyday is very option. Other options are short walks initially and later on more challenging ones like walking up the hill or increasing the speed of walking.

• Exercising should involve the ‘rectus abdominis’ muscles. These muscles move apart during pregnancy and will not join they are forced to join by some of exercises. These muscles should be activated and moved to get to their original position by performing simple pelvic tilting exercises everyday.

• Above all the tips seen so far, taking enough rest in the form of sleep is very important for the mother. If not they would not be able to attend to the baby and would be feel tired and irritable throughout the day. Ultimately this will have ill effects on their health and the baby’s as well. Sleeping when the baby sleeps is a good way to catch up on the sleep. It’s good to have a few hands to help at this point of time.

Missed period

Pregnancy is the most common reason for sexually active women to miss her period. This is an important indicator of pregnancy. The other reason for missing period or delay in menstrual cycle is stress and inadequate sleep.

Fatigue

Fatigue alias tiredness is very common in the first three months of pregnancy. Most women feel tired in the morning even after a good night sleep.  But not enough rest and imbalance in the diet can also cause tiredness and lethargy.

Nausea

Most women feel nauseated throughout the day or at least in the morning in the first three months of pregnancy. For some it goes on till the very end. One solution is to have crackers upon waking in the morning or have starches like potatoes.

Sore or tender breasts

Normally just before periods and during pregnancy the breasts will be tender, will be full, heavy and the nipples may hurt when touched. But after periods, it becomes normal. If it continues even after a normal menstrual cycle then it may be a case of ectopic pregnancy and the doctor should be consulted.

Urge to urinate very often

Pregnant women would want to urinate very frequently. There are two reasons to this. The first one is the uterus starts to grow as soon as the baby has implants itself into the endometrium lining. As the uterus grows it pushes itself against the bladder and makes it smaller. Second reason is HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) hormone starts to rise very fast and forces the bladder to empty .For the non-pregnant people, the cause frequent urination could be due to Urinary Tract Infection which could affects kidneys.

Headaches

Headaches are common in the first three months of pregnancy but the doctor should be consulted. Mostly it would go off with a nap but at times it could lead to toxemia and preeclampsia.

Heartburns

Heartburns are very common symptoms of pregnancy. The changes in the hormone and eating spicy food may cause. The hormonal changes can create intolerance to spices. But for the others, heartburns may be symptoms of ulcer too.

Spotting

Spotting is not a cause to worry in the initial days of pregnancy. Spotting may occur in the first 7 to 10 days after conception as the new blood vessels develop and at sexual intercourse any of these may be accidently knocked off. But if its menstrual period like flow then it may be a case of miscarriage

Pregnancy Test Kit or Strip

It is most easy and accurate method without consulting a doctor. Just buy a ‘Pregnancy Test Kit’ from chemist’s shop. This test is done with first urine in the morning. Complete method of using will be written on the kit.  If the urine contains HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin), the strip will give positive results.

These are only a few symptoms but it’s a good idea to have a book on pregnancy to find answers for all the queries and refer to during the anxious moments when there is no where to turn to clarify them.
