Uterine Polyps And Infertility

-



Women of childbearing age who experience abnormal uterine bleeding may be suffering from polyps in the uterus, or endometrial polyps. While these anomalies can cause infertility, removal may restore your ability to conceive. Bleeding between periods is one of the most frequent symptoms of this common reproductive condition. Although, some women may have polyps and not experience any abnormal bleeding.

It is not unusual to find these polyps when seeking to identify the cause of a woman’s infertility. They are sometimes an incidental finding when looking for other causes. An x-ray of the uterus and fallopian tubes often reveals the presence of polyps. This diagnostic test is called a hysterosalpingogram (HSG.)

The polyps are a result of overgrowth of the endometrial lining inside the uterus. Endometrial polyps are usually benign, meaning non-cancerous; however, they should be examined because there is the possibility that they could be premalignant or malignant. Removed polyps are always sent to the laboratory for analysis to determine if they are benign.

ENDOMETRIAL POLYPS AND INFERTILITY

Polyps are found in various locations in the uterus. One of the most common areas is the posterior uterine wall. The way in which endometrial polyps affect conception is not yet understood; however, research shows that the placement of the polyp may cause interference with the embryo implanting on the uterine wall. Endometrial polyps may block the cervical canal, making it impossible for sperm to reach and fertilize the egg.

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...

Testicular trauma refers to damage to the testicles, which hang outside of your body and are vulnerable to being hurt. Your scrotum is the tissue that covers your testicles, but there’s no other protection from muscles or bones. Much of the time, testicles can absorb the shock that comes from an injury without serious damage. At other times, you may need to seek medical attention for treatment. Trauma can hurt your scrotum and your testicles, even tearing the protective tissue or causing the testicles to split open. Your testicles make sperm and hormones. Testicular trauma can harm those functions and interfere with blood flow. Who Is Affected By Testicular Trauma? Testicular trauma can affect anyone with one or two testicles. They are outside the body and have little protection. What Are The Types Of Testicular Trauma? There are several types of testicular trauma, including: - Contusion:  This is a bruise or a hematoma, a collection of blood beneath tissues. - Testicular torsion:...
