The Sex - For couples who recently married, a baby in the household is
a very anticipated. Unfortunately, not all couples can be awarded even if a
baby has tried each day. It may be that couples with fertility problems.
Infertility or infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after trying for 6-12 months. Cause there are many, ranging from lifestyle, diet to physical disorders. Age to the level of the infertility is also increasing.
As reported by USNews.com, Sunday (6/10/2012), here are some things that interfere with fertility at risk.
1. Sports are too heavy
A study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility suggests that normal-weight women who do strenuous exercise like running, swimming and aerobics for 5 hours or more a week have 42 percent less likely to become pregnant than women who do not exercise at all.
"Strenuous exercise can affect ovulation and disrupt the menstrual cycle. Pituitary gland is interpreted as a time of vigorous exercise less than optimal for the body to reproduce and send signals to the ovaries not to ovulate," says Jessica Scotchie, a reproductive endocrinologist in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The researchers also added that extreme sports can affect implantation, the ability of eggs to be fertilized. However, this study did not analyze these factors in men. Some doctors say the effect on men is not much different. Less intensive exercise such as walking, cycling and is the most good.
2. Most drinking coffee
"There is a relationship between excessive caffeine intake and infertility, miscarriage and pregnancy complications," said Serena Chen, director of reproductive medicine at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey.
A laboratory study in female mice published in the British Journal of Pharmacology found that levels of caffeine equivalent to two cups of coffee reduces muscle activity in the fallopian tubes. Muscle activity is helping to deliver the egg from the ovary to the uterus. Caffeine causes contraction of the muscles to be loose so the egg can not move.
Other studies have also shown a link between caffeine and infertility. A report published in the journal Reproductive Toxicology found that taking 300-700 milligrams of caffeine a day decreases the chances of women getting pregnant by 12 percent. Drinking more can reduce the chance of pregnancy by 37 percent.
3. Foods that contain gluten
One cause of infertility in men and women are celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by a reaction to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. This disorder is found in more than 5 percent of women who suffer from fertility problems in infertility clinics.
Another study published the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research found that more infertile couples who have celiac disease than couples who do not have problems with fertility.
Women with celiac disease often suffer from menstrual disorders such as secondary amenorrhea, a condition in which an old woman coming months so do not ovulate less often. Whereas in men, people with celiac disease have lower testosterone levels and sperm are abnormal.
4. Toxic mercury
In 2002, British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology published a study showing that among a group of 150 infertile couples, more than a third of men have high mercury levels in their blood. As many as 23 percent of women in the study also experienced the same thing. Intake of mercury from most fish.
Fish should be eaten in moderation and is beneficial to health, which contain lots of omega 3 fatty acids. Women should avoid fish that are at the top of the food chain such as shark, tilefish and mackerel because the high mercury content.
5. Eating unhealthy fats
According to a study published in the journal Human Reproduction, men who ate the most saturated fat had 35 percent fewer sperm than men who ate less saturated fat. Saturated fats found in foods such as processed meats, butter and milk.
The good news, studies have shown sperm quality in men can be improved by eating omega-3 fatty acids found in foods such as cold water fish, flax seeds and nuts or a supplement.
6. Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition in which cells are normally found in the uterus grows outside the uterus. Symptoms are usually in the form of pelvic pain during or after sexual intercourse or it could be during bowel movements. This disorder is one of the three main causes of infertility. If you suffer from this condition, see a specialist endocrinologist.
7. Disturbed biological clock
Women who often work the night shift has been shown to have problems with fertility and menstrual cycle because it is often out of sync with the external light cycle. A laboratory study in female mice published in the journal PLoS One found a direct relationship between the biological clock disorders with pregnancy.
In mice that have normal biological clock, 90% had become pregnant. Mice disrupted biological clock through laboratory manipulation only 22 percent who get pregnant.
