Want to have a second child but can't get pregnant? 5 Things That Can Lower Women's Fertility, Men Should Look Too

Having children has always been an essential life pursuit for most women. Now with the opening of the two-child policy, many couples who have already given birth to a "big treasure" want to have another "second treasure", but many families also I found out that when the first child was born, everything went smoothly, but when I wanted to have a second child, I encountered the trouble of "not being able to conceive".

In fact, many people should have guessed that age is indeed one of the key factors affecting fertility. With the increase of age, both male and female fertility will decline, so being able to give birth before does not mean that you can give birth now. For women, the best reproductive age is about 20-30 years old. At this time, women's eggs are in the best condition. After the age of 35, the function of women's ovaries will decline significantly, and the quality of eggs will gradually deteriorate. Overall health is also not as good as it was before the age of 30.

In this way, not only is the chance of conception smaller, but the possibility of developing problems in the fetus is higher than before. However, men do not sit back and relax. For men, the best reproductive age is about 25-35 years old. Men in this age group have the most energy and the best sperm quality. However, as men age, the quantity and quality of sperm also increase. All are declining, including bad habits such as smoking, drinking, etc., will become sperm killers. Therefore, both men and women, it is best to have children as soon as possible.

In addition to age, another factor that is quite easily overlooked is obesity. Maybe everyone knows that obesity can lead to diseases such as high blood pressure and affect physical health, but what many people do not know is that obesity may also affect fertility. Excessive obesity can indeed lead to infertility, one of the important reasons is that obesity can affect ovulation. Obesity can lead to increased leptin levels and insulin resistance in women. If obesity persists for a long time, it will eventually lead to anovulation. For example, many women have irregular menstruation when they are fat, but menstruation returns to normal after losing weight. This is the reason.

At the same time, some women with irregular menstruation are often particularly worried that their irregular menstruation will cause difficulty in pregnancy or even infertility. In fact, among the many causes of irregular menstruation, such as mental stress, malnutrition, underweight or overweight, excessive dieting, excessive exercise, and certain drugs or diseases, some of them may indeed cause infertility. When you have irregular menstruation, you must find out what the cause is and deal with it in time. If you have had irregular menstrual periods for two or three consecutive months, or if your menstrual cycle has been irregular, it is necessary to go to the hospital.

Plus, it's less well known that high blood sugar can have a big impact on your fertility in both men and women. Research findings show that 25%-30% of male hyperglycemia patients under the age of 40 will be infertile; for female hyperglycemia patients, due to diet control, metabolic disorders and low body weight, it is easy to cause hypothalamic dysfunction. , thereby affecting the secretion of related hormones, further leading to irregular menstruation, ovulation disorders, etc., and more likely to be combined with autoimmune disorders (such as the emergence of anti-ovarian antibodies) caused by menstrual disorders, which can lead to infertility.

Finally, generally when women with infertility see a doctor, their doctor may recommend a PPD (tuberculin test) to check for tuberculosis. Many people may have always thought that tuberculosis only grows in the lungs. In fact, tuberculosis in other organs other than the lungs is not uncommon. When Mycobacterium tuberculosis invades the female reproductive organs such as the fallopian tube, endometrial, ovary, pelvic peritoneum and cervix, it will cause tuberculosis of the reproductive organs, thereby causing tuberculous pelvic inflammatory disease. No matter which part of the reproductive organ occurs, it will cause infertility .

In fact, there are not a few people who have difficulty getting pregnant, and more and more people go to the hospital to see infertility. To a certain extent, infertility is an age-determined disease, because with age, female fertility will decrease. Significantly reduced, the incidence of infertility will of course increase, so young people may still be "willful" for a period of time, but older women and men will be "stupid birds fly first".
