MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN (INFERTILITY)


MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE NOT ABLE TO HAVE CHILDREN (INFERTILITY)

Sometimes a man and a woman try to have children but the woman those not become pregnant. Either the man or woman may be infertile (unable to bring about pregnancy). Often nothing can be done to make a person fertile, but sometimes something can be done, depending on the cause.

COMMON CAUSES OF INFERTILITY:
1.     STERILITY: The person’s body is such that he or she can never have children. Some men and women are born sterile.
2.     WEAKNESSES OR A NUTRITIONAL LACK: In some women severe anemia, poor nutrition or lack of iodine may lower the chance of becoming pregnant. Or it may cause the unformed baby (embryo) to die, perhaps before the mother even knows she is pregnant. A woman who is not able to become pregnant, or has had only miscarriages, should get enough nutritious food, use iodized salt, and if she is severely anemic, take iron pills. These may increase her chance of becoming pregnant and having a healthy baby.
3.     CHRONIC INFECTION: Especially pelvic inflammatory disease due to gonorrhea or Chlamydia is a common cause of infertility in women. Treatment may help if the disease has not gone too far. Prevention and early treatment of gonorrhea and Chlamydia means fewer sterile women.
4.     MEN: Sometimes unable to make women pregnant because they have fewer sperms than is normal. It may help for the man to wait, without having sex, for several days before the woman enters her fertile days’ each month, midway between her last menstrual period and the next. This way he will give her his full amount of sperm when they have sex on days when she is able to become pregnant.
WARNING: Hormones and other medicines commonly given to men or women who cannot have babies almost never do any good, especially in men. Home remedies and magic cures are not likely to help either. Be careful not to waste your money for things that will not help.
