What is secondary infertility?
Secondary infertility occurs when a woman who has already carried a child to make it unable to do it for the second time. Women who represent quite easily, but then repeatedly suppress, also have secondary infertility. Secondary infertility should not be confused with primary infertility, which means that a woman is not at all pregnant. Women dealing with carefully timed, unprotected sexual intercourse without conception may have secondary infertility and should immediately visit their obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/Gyn) or reproductive endocrinologist. Women in the mid -1930s are recommended to seek medical care after six months of attempt. Although it is more common than primary infertility, it does not receive the same attention as primary infertility. Many women who are “primary” or suffer from primary infertility do not tolerate women who already have a long time and are looking for emotional support and fertility to have more children. Endometriosis, body trauma, surgery, complications with previous delivery and AshermAnni syndrome can contribute to secondary infertility. Other factors, such as a new partner, gain weight, aging and stress, can also cause secondary infertility.
Age is one of the primary causes of secondary infertility. Women are born with all eggs that will have to carry children. Peaks of fertility from mid -20 years to mid -30s. 35, there is a significant reduction in fertility. At the age of 40, the pregnancy rate decreases even lower, and there are only 6% chances that a woman, with a carefully timed, unprotected intercourse, will imagine every cycle.Over time, egg quality is also decreased, which may explain abortion or other problems. The father's age also plays a role in the fact that the quality of the sperm produced by a person during his life decreases with age. Some women found that the gap between the first child and the second shows that it is too long and their ability to reproducehas dropped.
Approximately one third of the infertility cases can only be traced after blockages of the fallopian tubes or abdominal adhesion that may disrupt conception. Problems with ovulation such as irregularities, anovulation , defined as a lack of ovulation or premature ovarian failure, can cause secondary infertility. These complications represent about 25% of infertility cases. Age and uterine problems such as endometriosis are another 30% of infertility.
In order to determine the cause of secondary infertility, the specialist will perform tests to monitor hormonal levels at specific points in the female cycle, analyze the seeds and perform a hysterosalpingogram (HSG). HSG is a radiological procedure that examines the uterine and fallopian tubes for tubular occlusion, Asherman syndrome or malformation of the uterus. The physician then recommends treatment of infertility that is adapted to the specific type of patient infertility.
