Infertility Due To Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (Poi)

-



A woman’s ovaries normally function until she is well in her 40’s. Generally, menopause will begin around age 50. Unfortunately, some women experience primary ovarian failure. This condition can occur in women before they reach the age of 40.

Primary ovarian insufficiency, or POI, is the result of the ovaries not producing normal amounts of the hormone estrogen, or they do not release eggs regularly. Infertility is often the result.

POI is different from premature menopause, although the two are often confused. Women who experience premature menopause cannot get pregnant, while those with POI can still have irregular or occasional periods for years and may become pregnant.

Low estrogen levels in women with POI can produce other problems such as osteoporosis. Restoring sufficient levels of estrogen can reverse these symptoms.

SYMPTOMS OF POI

Menopause, estrogen deficiency and POI have similar symptoms:

- Missed or irregular periods over years or could develop after having a baby or stopping birth control pills

- Difficulty getting pregnant

- Hot flashes

- Night sweats

- Vaginal dryness

- Dry eyes

- Irritability or difficulty concentrating

- Reduced sexual desire

Male Fertility And Anabolic Steroids

Male infertility can be a very sensitive and difficult issue for many men to accept. It can come as a big surprise that they may be creating the problem by taking certain supplements – especially (anabolic) steroids. Steroids that are used to enhance strength and fitness can actually drastically lower a sperm count (to zero in many cases). These types of steroids can do damage to male fertility. The drugs interfere with the hormone signals required to produce sperm. The amount of damage depends on which drugs are being used, the dosage and how often they are taken. Anabolic steroids can be found in some fitness and muscle-building dietary supplements from unreputable companies. Excessive amounts of anabolic steroids may help you achieve a more muscle-bound physique; however, at the same time, it can also lower your sperm count considerably. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are important hormones in sperm production. These drugs affect FSH and LH and i...

Understanding Uterine Shape Abnormalities, Their Detection, and Impact on Fertility The uterus, a vital organ in a woman's reproductive system, plays a crucial role in fertility. Its shape can vary significantly among individuals, and abnormalities in uterine shape can have a significant impact on a woman's ability to conceive. Uterine Shape Abnormalities: Bicornuate Uterus:  This condition is characterized by a heart-shaped uterus, where the organ is divided into two sections. It can reduce the space available for an embryo to implant, increasing the risk of miscarriage. Septate Uterus:  In this condition, a septum or wall divides the uterus into two parts, limiting the available space for an embryo to implant. It can also increase the risk of miscarriage. Arcuate Uterus:  An arcuate uterus has a slight indentation at the top, but it generally doesn't affect fertility. However, in some cases, more significant indentations may impact implantation. Unicornuate Uterus: ...
