If your doctor suspects a problem with you, she will look at certain common problem areas:
Is there any hostility to the sperm in the vagina or the cervix?
Is there any obstruction to the passage of sperm in the vagina or the cervix?
Is the uterus in the right position?
Your doctor will also check whether your reproductive organs are functioning well. She will look for any blockages in the fallopian tubes. The fallopian tubes carry the sperm to the egg, and also carry the fertilised embryo to the uterus for successful implantation.
A blockage in the fallopian tubes can cause irreversible infertility. In our country, genital tuberculosis causes permanent blockage of the fallopian tubes. Endometriosis can also block the fallopian tubes and can cause adhesions between the pelvic organs.
Another common cause of infertility in women is problems linked to ovulation. Such problems mean that either a woman does not ovulate or she may have dysfunctional ovulation. Many women do not ovulate due to polycystic ovaries syndrome (PCOS).
Polycystic ovaries syndrome is becoming more common, particularly in young girls. In the case of irregular ovulation, getting pregnant can take longer but it usually does happen eventually. Many causes of infertility are treatable today or at least something can be done to improve your chances of conceiving. So if you suspect a problem, do consult a fertility specialist.
