Causes of infertility

Couple with fertility problemsOne of six couples are confronting the infertility problem, but nobody can explain the real reason of this. An American researcher team discovered that 2 genes, called “egg 1″ and “egg 2″, are responsible for the fertility, and the absence of those two goes to a fertility failure

There are some circumstances that can affect sperm’s grade, and, implicit, decrease the chances to obtain a pregnancy:

  • - the most common one is the existence of a dilated vein that can affect the temperature of testicles ,
  • - infections,
  • - chemotherapy,
  • - childhood disease- that sometimes can bring sterility,
  • - some surgical interventions, as hernia
  • - injury
  • - some medicine,
  • - exposing to chemicals or rays,
  • - alcohol, cigarettes, drugs,
  • - a wrong diet, and not enough sleep,
  • - excessive hot around body,
  • - too many or too less sexual relations.
  • - also, the air pollution affects sperm quality, but this is only a temporary problem- when the subject is removed from polluted area, the structure of the sperm is returning to normal limits.

Infertility can also result from a birth condition (congenital), or acquired.

Causes of the condition can be classified as:

  • - primary- disruption in the testicles (two small organs below the penis, part of the male reproductive system),
  • - secondary- disruption in the pituitary gland (a roundish organ that lies beneath the hypothalamus and secrets hormones)
  • - tertiary- disruption in the hypothalamus ( an organ that controls body temperature, hunger, thirst and circadian cycles).

If there has been no results after one year of trying, it is recommended to consult a specialist, because all those circumstances affects the testosterone level, problem that can be sometime fixed by some treatments.
