Fertility Problems – Could Your Past Be Accountable – Part II

Could earlier lifestyle and health conditions have an effect on present day fertility?

Fertility Problems and Former Eating Disorders

For facilitating ovulation and maintaining pregnancy, recommended female percentage body fat requirement is seventeen percent. Twenty-two percent body fat is necessary for starting menstruation in a young woman. Several females having eating disorders particularly those who are anorexic face acute weight reduction. But, in case eating disorder has been overcome along with weight regain then no permanent effects should be likely.

In females with earlier eating disorders, infertility mostly causes a flashback to the mental-emotional problems they tussled with like wanting to be in control. Such a woman would want her body to function in the manner she wants it to, thus mostly transferring this need to their fertility treatment.

Fertility Problems and Former Abortion Procedures

There is dearth of dependable proof that a single or more initial trimester abortion procedures conducted under sterilized conditions would have an effect on a woman’s fertility. There is absence of proof linking infertility with medicine-aided pregnancy terminations instead of surgical procedure. Despite any surgical procedure being linked with some type of complications like post-surgery infections and hemorrhage, there is likelihood of fallopian tube damage. Less prevalently mid trimester gestational loss could at times lead to cervix-related issues in the subsequent conception; however that too is not quite prevalent.

A common thought process among females with a past of abortions and conception problems is being inundated with guilt feelings that conception problems are linked to a former surgical procedure, irrespective of how much time has gone by since then. Women feel this to be a punishment of sorts for not having a child when they had the opportunity. In women it would often take a lot of time to get over the matter that their former choice does not necessarily impact them in the present.

Fertility Problems and Former STDs

Annually 3 million newly surfaced STD (sexually transmitted disease) Chlamydia cases in the United States occur. Even though it is generally treated using antibiotics, merely thirty percent of females are aware of its presence in their bodies. At times the person would be asymptomatic or having symptoms such as pains, fever which could be mistaken to be flu or some other condition. Mostly symptoms subside without intervention yet the infection would continue to last.

Chlamydia diagnosis might not occur till the time a female attempts conception. In case the STD is in a hushed state, it is likely that a female could incur low grade or moderate-ranging fallopian tube damage which could make her infertile. A latest Sweden-based study additionally found that Chlamydia occurring among males (which could atypically be asymptomatic) has an unfavourable impact on sperms.

Gonorrhea, another STD afflicting seven lakh individuals annually and generally asymptomatic among females could cause tubal harm. PID or pelvic inflammatory disease is a resulting uterine, cervical and fallopian tube infection that is occasionally hushed and mostly causing fever, stomach pains and discharge from vagina.

Providentially these STDs could be averted by using condoms and Chlamydia screening generally occurs at the time of regular gynaecology examinations. Early detection and treatment prevents fallopian tube harm. Tube repair through micro-surgery is an option in case STDs have afflicted tubal harm. In case of major harm, IVF would be necessary for conception.

Fertility Problems and Former Surgical Procedures

Prevalently surgery of pelvis and abdomen could lead to adhesion or scar tissue forming that does not mostly make a woman infertile. The issue could be treated with scar tissue removal surgery. Even IVF could by-pass tubal issues totally. Methods which could be causal to infertility are cone biopsy employed in cervical cancer diagnosis, dilation & curettage performed for removal of surfeit uterine tissue post-miscarriage or abortion.
