Endometriosis

This Can Be A Painful Condition In Which Tissue Similar To That Which Normally Grows In The Lining Of The Womb Is Found In Other Parts Of The Woman’s Body, Most Typically On The Outside Of The Womb Or Around The Ovaries Or Fallopian Tubes. The Causes And Development Of It Are Not Clear, But The Condition Is Usually Graded Mild To Severe. In Its Mild Form, It Does Not Interfere With Fertility. At Its Worst It Can Result In Substantial Adhesions Around The Ovaries, Fallopian Tubes And Womb, Or Cysts Within The Ovaries, And Will Definitely Interfere With Fertility.

Cervical Factors

If The Mucus In The Woman’s Cervix Is Of Poor Quality, Not Conducive To Sperm Movement Of Hostile To The Sperm, It Can Prevent Them From Reaching And Fertilizing The Egg. Sometimes The Cervix Will Not Retain A Growing Pregnancy, A Condition Called, In An Appallingly Derogatory Way, And Incompetent Cervix.

There Is A Growing Awareness Of The Extent Of This. It Can Be Caused By The Man.S Sperm Being Inadequate In Number, Abnormal In Shape, Unable To Move, Or Incapable Of Fertilizing The Egg. It Is Also Possible That The Semen Contains Hostile Antibodies Which Either Make The Sperm Clump Together Or Kill Them Off. Generally, The Level Of Male Fertility Is Thought To Be Falling, Although The Reasons For This Whether Due To Modern Life Style Or Environmental Hazards Are Unclear. There Are Still Many Gaps In Scientific Knowledge Of The Process Of Human Conception And Very Often A Couple Will Not Be Given A Cause For Their Fertility Problems. Sometimes The Doctor Will Tell Them There Is Not Reason They Cannot Have A Child And They Should Simply Go Away And Try Again. This Can Be Very Distressing, Because It Implies That The Fault Lies With The Couple. Usually, It Is Also Inaccurate. A More Honest Admission By The Doctor Would Be That Sadly Medical Science Is Not Advanced Enough To Explain Why They Cannot Have A Baby.
