Put some quote related to mother hood or fatherhood over here. Sadly
some couples cannot experience this. Those people suffer from Infertility.
Infertility refers to conceive after having regular unprotected sex. It could
also be to the biological inability to a female who cannot carry a
pregnancy to full term. Science is a savior for such people, it helps them
conceive. There have been so many advances in science that there are so
many techniques to treat such inabilities.

Global and local issues

T is the choice of each individual and couple, within their own sense of
conscience, to determine if they intend pregnancy, and if so, the size of
their family unit and the timing of when to have a child or children. If
fertility problems arise; interventions can be attempted from simple fertility
awareness methods to more advanced methods associated with in vitro
fertilization. These interventions are scientifically innovative; and, they
have revolutionized concepts of generational identity, family, and human
reproductive potential.






Infertility in developing countries

E. Petit Pierre
In a world that needs vigorous control of population growth, concerns
about infertility may seem odd, but the adoption of a small family norm
makes the issue of involuntary infertility more pressing. If couples are
urged to postpone or widely space pregnancies, it is imperative that they
should be helped to achieve pregnancy when they so decide, in the more
limited time they will have available. Mahmoud Fathalla, Former Director
of HRP*.



Age - a woman's fertility starts to drop after she is about 32
years old, and continues doing so. A 50-year-old man is usually
less fertile than a man in his 20s (male fertility progressively
Smoking - smoking significantly increases the risk of infertility
in both men and women. Smoking may also undermine the
effects of fertility treatment. Even when a woman gets pregnant,
if she smokes she has a greater risk of miscarriage.
Alcohol consumption - a woman's pregnancy can be seriously
affected by any amount of alcohol consumption. Alcohol abuse
may lower male fertility. Moderate alcohol consumption has not
been shown to lower fertility in most men, but is thought to
lower fertility in men who already have a low sperm count.
Being obese or overweight - in industrialized countries
overweight/obesity and a sedentary lifestyle are often found to
be the principal causes of female infertility. An overweight man
has a higher risk of having abnormal sperm.
Being vegan - if you are a strict vegan you must make sure your
intake of iron, folic acid, zinc and vitamin B-12 are adequate,
otherwise your fertility may become affected.
Over-exercising - a woman who exercises for more than seven
hours each week may have ovulation problems
Not exercising - leading a sedentary lifestyle is sometimes
linked to lower fertility in both men and women.

Endometriosis
Endometriosis is when tissue that is normally in the uterus implants
and grows in other locations. This extra tissue growth and the
surgical removal of it can cause scarring, which may obstruct the
tube and keep the egg and sperm from uniting. It can also affect the
lining of the uterus, disrupting implantation of the fertilized egg. The
condition also seems to affect fertility in less-direct ways, such as
damage to the sperm or egg.
Endometriosis is an often-painful disorder in which tissue
that normally lines the inside of your uterus the
endometrium grows outside your uterus (endometrial
implant). Endometriosis most commonly involves your
ovaries, bowel or the tissue lining your pelvis. Rarely,
endometrial tissue may spread beyond your pelvic region.
In endometriosis, displaced endometrial tissue continues to
act as it normally would it thickens, breaks down and
bleeds with each menstrual cycle. Because this displaced
tissue has no way to exit your body, it becomes trapped.
When endometriosis involves the ovaries, cysts called
endometrioses may form. Surrounding tissue can become
irritated, eventually developing scar tissue and adhesions
abnormal tissue that binds organs together.
Endometriosis can cause pain sometimes severe
especially during your period. Fertility problems also may
develop. Fortunately, effective treatments are available.

Risk factors
Several factors place you at greater risk of developing
endometriosis, such as:
Never giving birth
One or more relatives (mother, aunt or sister) with
endometriosis
Any medical condition that prevents the normal passage of
menstrual flow out of the body
History of pelvic infection
A uterine abnormality Endometriosis usually develops
several years after the onset of menstruation (menarche).
Signs and symptoms of endometriosis end temporarily with
pregnancy and end permanently with menopause, unless
you're taking estrogen.















Causes
Although the exact cause of endometriosis is not certain,
several possible explanations include:
Retrograde menstruation. This is the most likely
explanation for endometriosis. In retrograde menstruation,
menstrual blood containing endometrial cells flows back
through the fallopian tubes and into the pelvic cavity instead
of out of the body. These displaced endometrial cells stick to
the pelvic walls and surfaces of pelvic organs, where they
grow and continue to thicken and bleed over the course of
each menstrual cycle.
Embryonic cell growth.
The cells lining the abdominal and pelvic cavities come from
embryonic cells. When one or more small areas of the
abdominal lining turn into endometrial tissue, endometriosis
can develop.
Surgical scar implantation.
After a surgery, such as a hysterectomy or C-section,
endometrial cells may attach to a surgical incision.
Endometrial cells transport.
The blood vessels or tissue fluid (lymphatic) system may
transport endometrial cells to other parts of the body.
Immune system disorder.
It's possible that a problem with the immune system may
make the body unable to recognize and destroy endometrial
tissue that's growing outside the uterus.
