女性因素
通過她的解剖結構可以最好地記住影響女性的主要原因：
- 雞蛋因素 例如排卵障礙和與年齡或“生物鐘”相關的障礙。
- 骨盆因素 如子宮內膜異位症和粘連。
- 輸卵管因素 例如阻塞或阻塞的輸卵管和輸卵管等受損的輸卵管。
- 子宮因素 如肌瘤、息肉、疤痕或子宮畸形。

不明原因的生育能力
不明原因的不孕症被定義為無法通過我們的標準診斷測試確定病因，例如精液分析、子宮輸卵管造影 (HSG) 和激素測試。還有一個原因，只是不那麼明顯。一個例子是當包括 HSG 在內的所有測試都正常時，但管子不能正常工作。子宮內膜異位症是輸卵管功能障礙的常見潛在原因。不明原因的不孕症可能令人沮喪，因為沒有直接的原因，但隨著時間的推移，有適當的算法或治療計劃可以克服或找到原因。
妊娠丟失

不孕不育的原因 - 愛達荷生殖醫學中心
At Idaho Center for Reproductive Medicine (ICRM), we recognize that infertility affects both men and women. Causes of infertility are generally categorized into female factors (40%), male factors (40%), and unexplained factors (20%).
Infertility can be one of the most devastating experiences in a person’s life, leading to feelings of hopelessness and despair. However, it’s important to know that virtually all forms of infertility can be overcome with the right approach. By understanding the underlying causes, we can pinpoint individual barriers to conception and customize effective treatment options for a successful pregnancy. Here, we provide a comprehensive overview of both female and male infertility and provide you with the next steps for overcoming an infertility diagnosis.
Female Infertility
Female infertility encompasses a range of factors that can impede a woman’s ability to conceive. Key issues include:
- Egg Factors: Disorders of ovulation and factors related to age, often referred to as the “biological clock.”
- Pelvic Factors: Conditions such as endometriosis and adhesions can affect reproductive organs.
- Tubal Factors: Blockages or damage to the fallopian tubes, hindering egg transport.
- Uterine Factors: Issues like fibroids, polyps, scarring, or structural malformations of the uterus.
- Cervical Factors: Conditions that restrict sperm passage through the cervix.
- Vaginal Factors: Infections, such as recurrent bacterial or yeast infections that could inhibit conception.
The most common cause of female infertility is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which is highly treatable. Whatever the cause, effective treatments are available to overcome these challenges.
男性不育
Male infertility accounts for approximately 40% of infertility cases. It primarily revolves around the sperm’s ability to fertilize an egg. Key considerations include:
- Sperm Production: Issues affecting the testicles’ ability to produce healthy sperm.
- Sperm Transport Blockage: Obstructions that prevent sperm from reaching the egg.
- Sperm Quality: Motility and morphology can significantly affect fertilization success rates.
A semen analysis is the starting point in evaluating male fertility. It assesses various sperm parameters to identify issues and guide treatment options. Treatments may include lifestyle changes, medication, or assisted reproductive technologies such as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) combined with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).
Unexplained Infertility
Unexplained infertility refers to the inability to determine a specific cause despite standard diagnostic tests, such as semen analysis, hysterosalpingogram (HSG), and hormone testing. While no apparent reason may be found, there is often an underlying issue. One common example is tubal dysfunction resulting from endometriosis.
The frustration of unexplained infertility stems from the lack of a precise diagnosis; however, it is possible to develop a treatment plan that addresses (and possibly identifies) the underlying issue over time. Our skilled team at ICRM possesses extensive experience and success in treating unexplained infertility, providing hope and guidance on your path to parenthood.
Recurring Pregnancy Loss
Recurrent pregnancy loss or miscarriage can be a heartbreaking and frustrating cause of infertility. Fortunately, there is hope—some of the most significant advances recently in our field deal with overcoming genetic causes for repeated miscarriages. There is a specific diagnostic and treatment protocol that effectively addresses the reasons that lead to miscarriages. At ICRM, our knowledgeable physicians are highly skilled at treating recurrent pregnancy loss to find success.
