What Causes Infertility?
Infertility is common among many women of childbearing age in Leesburg and Centreville. Medically, infertility is defined as the inability to get pregnant (or stay pregnant) after 12 months of regular intercourse without the use of birth control. For women 35 and up, infertility is considered probable after six months of unprotected sex.
Pregnancy is a multi-step process. To get pregnant, your ovaries must release an egg, which then travels down your fallopian tube to your uterus. Along the way, the egg must meet up with sperm for fertilization, and then the fertilized egg must attach itself to your uterus. Any malfunction or problem with one of the steps makes it harder for you to get pregnant.
Problems with conceiving may develop from many causes. In women, the most common cause of infertility is related to irregularities with ovulation, which may develop from an underlying gynecological condition such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Though less common, structural problems in your reproductive organs, such as blocked fallopian tubes or uterine fibroids, may interfere with your ability to conceive. Your difficulty in getting pregnant may also be related to infertility problems in your partner.
