Getting married and having children is what all couples dream of. The presence of a baby gives happiness and new color to the relationship, so it is not surprising that many people are so serious about preparing for pregnancy and the arrival of a baby. Some of them have even started preparing for it together with wedding preparations.
But not infrequently, several couples who have been preparing for pregnancy for quite a long time have not yet been blessed with a baby. If this happens to you and your partner, you need to pay attention to the fertility conditions of each. As it is known that infertility is one of the main causes in the difficulty of getting offspring.
In general, infertility is a condition in which a husband and wife fail to conceive after having regular intercourse without contraception for one year. This is based on the fact that 75-85% of couples with normal fertility manage to conceive, where the wife can become pregnant within 12 months.
Medically, the condition of infertility can be divided into two different conditions. The first condition is primary infertility where pregnancy has not occurred at all. Other infertility conditions are secondary infertility conditions that can occur after the birth of the first child or have been pregnant even though a miscarriage eventually occurred.
Infertility Can Occur in Both Men and Women
Even though infertility is related to pregnancy, the condition of infertility can not only be experienced by women, but can also occur in men. In general, the causes of infertility problems can occur due to four main factors, namely female factors, male factors, combination factors between women and men, as well as infertility conditions that occur with unknown causes.
Each factor has a different percentage of influence on infertility conditions. Female and male factors each account for 40% of infertility. Meanwhile, the infertility factor due to a combination of the two is as much as 10%. The remaining 10% is for infertility with no known cause.
Not only has a variety of causes, infertility also has a variety of severity. In mild infertility, the most common causes are endometriosis, ovulation disorders, and hormonal cycles. Meanwhile, severe infertility may be caused by more complex factors such as immune factors (immunity), weak uterine receptivity, pelvic adhesions due to severe endometriosis, decreased egg cell quality due to ovarian damage, and other factors.
Currently infertility conditions can be helped with medical diagnosis and appropriate drug therapy. So, if you or your partner have problems related to infertility and reproductive health, immediately consult your problem with a team of obstetricians who have expertise in the field of infertility, such as Dr. Gede Widi Mariada, Sp.OG, M.Us, M.Clin.Embriol, M.Hum.Reprod who practices at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Polyclinic at EMC Sentul Hospital every Sunday at 12.00 – 20.00 WIB.
