Causes of infertility

Infertility is the inability to achieve pregnancy after one year of exposure. The causes can be varied.

Peritoneal Tube Factor 35%

The Fallopian tubes are two structures that “connect” the uterus to the two ovaries. It is here that fertilization happens. When the tubes are obstructed, there is no room for this to happen. Peritoneal Tube Factor. More information.

Male factor 35%

The cause of up to 50% of all infertility cases, to some extent, lies with the man. Problems with the mechanics of ejaculation (retrograde ejaculation, anejaculation, erectile dysfunction, paraplegia, etc.) Sperm. More Information.

Ovulation problems Factor 15%

The ovulation process provides one egg for fertilization by a spermatozoid in every cycle. This process requires hormonal balance in the body.More Information.

Infertility Cause Unknown 10%

There are couples that after profound investigations all the factors appears normal but there is a problem to achieve pregnancy because does not happen. It is essential to make an assessment of the female pelvis by a laparoscopy in addition to other tests in order to classify a couple with the diagnosis of infertility of unknown cause.

Other Problems 5%

There are couples where the cause of infertility is due to endocrine (e.i. hyper or hypothyroidism), sexual dysfunction (impotence, premature ejaculation, etc.), anatomical problems (vaginal wall, hypospadias, poor development of the reproductive tract, etc.) issues Psychiatric (eg Vaginismus).

When is the right time to visit the specialist?

Generally we recommend it on the following cases:

  • Have one year of exposure to pregnancy and still does not happen
  • If your menses are set back recurrently (more than 15 days)
  • If excessive pain is present on menses or sexual intercourse
  • If you had a severe pelvic infection that required treatment with antibiotics or hospitalization
  • If there is sexual dysfunction (premature or retrograde ejaculation, impotence)
  • If you have already achieved a pregnancy but the pregnancy does not reaches term (recurrent abortions)

You do not need to spend a year of exposure to see if any of these problems (2-5)
