The Most Common Cause Of Infertility And What You Can Do About It Infertility, whether primary or secondary, poses many challenges for any couple. Tests and treatments can be embarrassing, expensive, and invasive. Sometimes, no matter how many tests they run, the doctors do not find any specific cause of infertility. This can be disappointing and frustrating. I know, because I was there and I went through it. Where Most Couples End Up Most people, however, do find at least one cause they can pinpoint for treatment. Men may be experiencing a low sperm count or lack of sperm motility...women may be facing ovulation problems or uterine complications. There may not really be a cause at all, if the couple are not attempting unprotected sex frequently enough over the course of many months, up to a year. Many couples incorrectly assume that you can get pregnant any time you have unprotected sex, and if they do not get pregnant after a few times of trying, something must be wrong. For many, something is going on, either with their reproductive abilities or due to a lifestyle choice they may be subjecting themselves to. While no one necessarily wants to make lifestyle changes, or may not like to hear that a choice they have made has caused any form of infertility, finding this out should be empowering. If the cause of your infertility is a few bad habits, you may be able to realize your dreams of parenthood without the expense and side effects of drugs, surgeries, or other medical procedures. The #1 Cause of Infertility Revealed Are you waiting to hear the #1 cause of infertility? It is smoking. Smoking is one of the worst bad habits you can develop, as it can affect not only fertility, but your heart health, your lung health, and consequently, your overall health. Over 4,000 chemicals are produced by a burning cigarette; over 250 of which are toxic, and more than 50 are known carcinogens. These carcinogens and toxins enter the bloodstream and are transported throughout the body to every single cell, including your reproductive system. These toxins interfere with sperm counts, can cause malformation in the sperm that are produced, give the sperm less motility, and decrease a mans circulation enough to cause impotence. For women, smoking may interfere with egg quality or the even the ovary's ability to release the egg properly during ovulation. It may also affect the uterine lining, making it difficult for the fertilized egg to attach itself. The Bottom Line No one wants to hear they may need to make what may seem like a drastic change to their life. But if you smoke and want to conceive a child, however, you really need to consider it. Not only will it make you healthier, it will boost your odds of conceiving. And it will make your child healthier too!
