The main causes of female infertility

You too can be a mom: age, smoking, unbalanced feeding and stress are the main causes of infertility.

Global figures show that 1 in 6 women of reproductive age fail to get pregnant.
The most common causes of infertility They are given by age, poor lifestyle and diseases associated with endometriosis, obstructions or injuries of the fallopian tubes, uterine, cervical anomalies and ovulatory problems.
Although infertility in Colombia is not a public health problem, more and more women are approaching assisted reproduction centers to look for alternatives to fulfill the dream of being mothers.
Infertility is an issue that affects 1 in 6 couples in the world, although it is full of myths and is not considered a public health problem in Colombia, every day more the number of women who want to be mothers increases and, due to different conditions, they have not achieved it.
To do this, Dr. Andrés Gutiérrez, an obstetrician gynecologist, a reprotec fertility specialist, indicates that age, socioeconomic status, sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits are the main factors that increase the risk of suffer from the disease.
According to Dr. Gutiérrez, the problems of Male and female fertility They occur when a couple naturally tries to have a pregnancy for a period greater than one year without having results. They usually go to their treating doctor who, depending on the conditions, diagnoses the disease.
Generally, after 35 years of age, the reproductive potential of women is decreased, after 40 years of age, the possibility of achieving a pregnancy is 10 percent lower, this factor is very common in women of modern life, since there is more and more a voluntary postponement of female fertility, Other causes are smoking, poor diet and stress.
The psychological impacts that infertility has on a couple are profound and usually very frustrating for women’s self-esteem, since sadly we still live in a macho culture and achieving a pregnancy for women continues to be an indicator of success. We have seen cases in which women are abandoned by their partner by not getting a pregnancy”,Dr. Andrés Gutiérrez argues.
It is estimated that, worldwide, 1 in 6 couples of reproductive age who are looking for a pregnancy do not achieve it, the fertility problem in each country depends strictly on the lifestyle of people. In Colombia, patients who consult for infertility are stable couples, between 35 and 40 years old, most of them after having tried for a long time. Women who suffer from infertility are generally of a high socioeconomic and educational level that for personal or professional reasons have postponed their fertility. This means that infertility depends mainly on age and lifestyle, Dr. Gutiérrez mentions.
On the other hand, despite the fact that in Colombia there is a high incidence of female infertility, the percentage of consultation for this limitation is very low, due to the myths, beliefs and limited access to services and Medical treatments or assisted reproduction techniques highly qualified.
