- "Difficulties Getting Pregnant."
When they are most waiting for a baby, men and women may find it difficult to conceive. Most couples protect themselves from an unwanted pregnancy for a large part of their lives. What most people don't know is that 15% of the population, of reproductive age, has problems achieving this goal.
For men, local heat, varicocele and cancer treatment are the main factors that hinder fertility. For women, age and irregular ovulation are the biggest villains. Medications, anatomical problems, STDs – Sexually Transmitted Diseases and lifestyle are other factors that prevent a couple from realizing their dream of having children.
The enzymes responsible for sperm production are very sensitive to heat. This means that men who visit saunas, wear tight pants, sit in the office all day or in front of a hot stove may inadvertently be heating their testicles to a temperature that can damage sperm quality.
Knowing when a woman will ovulate also helps with fertility, they generally ovulate 14 days before menstruating. Another factor that harms fertility is the use of some medications. It has been proven that men who take ulcer or heart drugs have less sperm. Some medications used to treat high blood pressure can affect ejaculation, sperm mobility and the ability of sperm to reach an egg, and some antibiotics to treat urinary tract infections can inhibit sperm production. Women who use decongestant medications may inadvertently be drying out the cervical mucus that is essential for conception, disrupting fertility.
Eggs and sperm need an unobstructed path to find each other. If a woman has uterine fibroids or polyps, endometriosis, or adhesion in any reproductive organ, her fertility is impaired. If a man is missing the vas deferens, which is the conductor that takes sperm from the testicle to the external environment, it will be difficult for the sperm to meet the egg.
Age is also a worrying factor, especially for women. When they are in their thirties, they lose many eggs during their period. The ideal age for a woman to become pregnant in terms of biology is 20 years old. A man can technically be a father even when he is old. The risk of having a child with chromosomal abnormalities, especially Down Syndrome, increases after a woman turns 35, whereas this does not happen in men.
If a couple has been trying to get pregnant for more than a year and is unable to do so or has any of these problems, they should see a doctor and get the best treatment for their case. So you can make your dream of having a child come true. Most couples who have any of these problems don't know it, as they have no symptoms. Quality of life and determination are essential in the pursuit of this goal.

Knowing when a woman is going to ovulate also helps with fertility, usually they ovulate 14 days before menstruating. Another factor that impairs fertility is the use of certain medications. Men who take ulcers or heart drugs have been shown to have fewer sperm. Some drugs used to treat high blood pressure can affect ejaculation, mobility, and the ability of sperm to reach the egg, and some antibiotics to treat urinary tract infections can inhibit sperm production. Women who use decongestant medications may inadvertently be drying up the cervical mucus that is essential for conception, interfering with fertility.
Eggs and sperm need an unobstructed path to meet. If a woman has uterine fibroids or polyps, endometriosis, or adherence to a reproductive organ, her fertility is impaired. If the man lacks the vas deferens, which is the conductor that takes the sperm from the testicle to the external environment, it will make it difficult for the sperm to meet the egg.
Age is also a worrying factor, especially for women. When they are in their thirties they lose a lot of eggs in their period. The ideal age for a woman to become pregnant in terms of biology is 20 years old. The man can technically be the same old father. The risk of having a child with chromosomal abnormalities, especially Down Syndrome, increases after the age of 35 for a woman, whereas for a man it does not.
If the couple has been trying to conceive for more than a year and is unable to or has any of these problems, they should seek medical attention and provide the best treatment for their case. In order to fulfill the dream of having a child. Most couples who have any of these problems do not know it, as they do not have symptoms.

At a time when they are most expecting a baby, men and women may find it difficult to conceive. Most couples protect themselves against undesirable embarrassment for most of their lives. What the majority of people don't know is that 15% of the population, in reproductive age, have problems achieving this objective.
For men, local heat, varicocele and cancer treatment are the main factors that hinder fertility. For women, age and irregular ovulation are the most culpable. Medicines, anatomical problems, ETS – Sexually Transmitted Diseases and lifestyle are other factors that prevent a couple from carrying out their marriage of having children.
The enzymes responsible for sperm production are very sensitive to heat. This means that men who go to saunas, wearing tight pants, sit in the workshop all day or in front of the hot stove, without realizing they could be heating their testicles to a temperature that could damage the quality of their sperm.
Knowing when a woman will ovulate also helps with fertility, generally ovulating 14 days before menstruation. Another factor that harms fertility is the use of certain medications. It has been demonstrated that men who take medication for ulcers have fewer sperm. Some medications used to treat high blood pressure can affect ejaculation, movement and the ability of sperm to reach the egg, and some antibiotics to treat urinary tract infections can inhibit sperm production. Women who use decongestant medications can, without realizing it, be drying out the cervical mucus that is essential for conception, which interferes with fertility.
Eggs and sperm need an unobstructed path to find each other. If a woman has fibroids or uterine polyps, endometriosis or adherence to a reproductive organ, her fertility will be affected. If the man lacks the ductus deferens, which is the conductor that takes sperm from the testicle to the external media, it will be difficult for the sperm to reach the egg.
Age is also a worrying factor, especially for women. When you are in training you lose a lot of eggs during your period. The ideal age for a woman who is biologically embarrassed is 20 years old. The man can technically be a priest, even if he is mayor. The risk of having a child with chromosomal abnormalities, especially Down syndrome, increases after 35 years for a woman, even more than for a man.
If the couple spends more than a year trying to stay embarrassed and cannot have any of these problems, they should see a doctor and provide the best treatment for their case. To be able to fulfill the dream of having a child. The majority of couples who have any of these problems do not know it, as they do not present symptoms. The quality of life and determination are essential in achieving this objective.
