Female Infertility

What are the causes of female infertility?

There are a number of fertility problems in females that may affect one or more of the processes required for conception. The problems can develop at different stages of conception.

Problems with ovulation

A common cause of female infertility is failure of the ovaries to release a mature egg during each monthly cycle. Ovulation is controlled by a complex interaction of hormones produced by the hypothalamus (an area of the brain), the pituitary and thyroid glands, and the ovaries. A common and treatable cause of female infertility is polycystic ovary syndrome, which may cause a hormonal imbalance that prevents ovulation from taking place. Disorders of the thyroid gland, such as hypothyroidism, may also lead to a hormonal imbalance that can affect the frequency of ovulation. Pituitary gland disorders, such as prolactinoma, a noncancerous tumour, may cause a similar imbalance. Ovulation does not always occur in some women for reasons that are unclear. In some cases, women who have been using oral contraceptives for a number of years may take time to re-establish a normal hormonal cycle after discontinuing them. Excessive exercise, stress, and obesity or low body weight may affect hormone levels and cause temporary infertility.

Premature menopause also results in a failure to ovulate. It can occur for no apparent reason or may be the result of pelvic surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy. In rare cases, the ovaries do not develop normally due to a chromosomal abnormality, such as Turner's syndrome.

Problems with egg transport and fertilization

The passage of the egg from the ovary to the uterus may be impeded by damage to one of the fallopian tubes. This damage may be due to pelvic infection, which may in turn result from a sexually transmitted infection such as chlamydial infection. Such disorders may exist with no symptoms and may be detected only if you have difficulty conceiving.

Endometriosis, a condition that can lead to the formation of scar tissue and cysts within the pelvis, may also damage the fallopian tubes, preventing the passage of an egg.

In some women, the egg cannot be fertilized because the mucus produced naturally by the cervix contains antibodies that destroy the partner's sperm before they reach the egg.

 Male Infertility

What are the most common causes of male infertility?

Varicoceles

Varicoceles are dilated veins in the scrotum, (just as an individual may have varicose veins in their legs.)  These veins are dilated because the blood does not drain properly from them. These dilated veins allow extra blood to pool in the scrotum, which has a negative effect on the sperm production. This condition is the most common reversible cause of male factor infertility and may be corrected by minor outpatient surgery.

Most experts  do this microscopically to preserve the arterial supply and lymphatics. A sub-inguinal incision (about 1 inch above the penis and 1 inch from the midline) is usually  used, as this avoids incising the abdominal muscles and creates less post-operative pain.

Abnormalities in the seminal fluid

If the seminal fluid is very thick it may be difficult for the sperm to move through it and into the woman’s reproductive tract. Often the semen can be processed to separate the moving sperm from the surrounding debris, dead sperm and seminal fluid. The processed sperm is usually placed directly inside the uterus with a small tube (catheter). This is called intrauterine insemination (IUI).

Problems with the ductal system 

Sperm carrying ducts may be missing or blocked.

A patient may have bilateral (both sides) congenital (from birth) absence of the vas deferens.

He may have obstructions either at the level of the epididymis (the delicate tubular structure draining the testes) or higher up in the more muscular vas deferens. He may have become mechanically blocked during hernia or hydrocele repairs. He may have become blocked by scar tissue as a response to an infection.

Sperm are stored in sacs called the seminal vesicles and are then deposited in the urethra which is the tube through which men urinate and ejaculate. The sperm must pass through the ejaculatory ducts to get from the seminal vesicles to the urethra. If these are blocked on both sides no sperm will come through.

In some situations the ducts may be repaired or unblocked, to allow them to flow throught the man's reproductive tract. If this is not possible, the sperm may be harvested, but because they are obtained in lower numbers, they must then be used in conjunction with advanced reproductive techniques to attempt a pregnancy.

Cryptorchidism

When a baby boy is born without the testes having fully descended into the scrotum the condition is known as cryptorchidism.

Since the testes are very sensitive to temperature, if they do not descend into the scrotum prior to adolescence, then they will stop producing sperm altogether. In fact, they have a higher rate of malignancy. The current recommendation is that at approximately one year of life, if they have not yet descended by themselves, they be brought down surgically.

Cryptorchidism is often associated with male factor infertility. 81% men who have a single testis that is cryptorchid have normal fertility. However, approximately only 50% of men who have bilateral cryptorchidism have normal fertility. This may be due both to something inherent in the testes, to the surgery, or to the damage done by not having brought the testes down in time.

Immunologic Infertility

Men can develop an immunologic response, (antibodies) to their own sperm. The causes for this may include testicular trauma, testicular infection, large varicoceles or testicular surgery. Sometimes there are unexplained reasons why this occurs.

These antibodies have a negative effect on fertility although the exact reason why this is the case is unclear. Most likely these antibodies act negatively at several points along the pathway to fertilization. They make it more difficult for the sperm to penetrate the partner’s cervical mucous and make its way into the uterus. They make it more difficult for the sperm to bind with the zonapellucida (the external membrane or shell of the egg). Also, the antibodies make it more difficult for the sperm to fuse with the membrane of the oocytes (eggs) themselves.

The treatment for anti-sperm antibodies is somewhat controversial. Men may be treated with corticosteroids. However, this can lead to significant morbidity in the man. The most significant is aseptic necrosis of the hip (noninfectious destruction of the joint) requiring hip replacement.

Most of the time, the first level of intervention includes intra-uterine inseminations. If the couple is planning invitro fertilization, (IVF) the presence of anti-sperm antibodies is usually an indication to inject the sperm directly into the egg (ICSI) instead of conventional IVF.

Difficulties with erections and ejaculation

About 5% of couples with infertility have factors relating to intercourse. This includes the inability to obtain or maintain an erection,  premature ejaculation, lack of ejaculation, retrograde (backwards) ejaculation, lack of appropriate timing of intercourse and excessive masturbation. Interestingly, the most common problem is infrequency of intercourse. Studies have shown that 5 out of 6 previously fertile couples having intercourse four times per week will conceive over six months, while only 1 out of 6 with intercourse once per week will conceive during the same period.

Testicular Failure 

This generally refers to the inability of the sperm producing part of the testicle (the seminiferous epithelium) to make adequate numbers of mature sperm. This failure may occur at any stage in sperm production for a number of reasons. The testicle may completely lack the cells that divide to become sperm (“Sertoli Cell-Only syndrome”). There may be an inability of the sperm to complete their development (" maturation arrest"). Sperm may be made in such low numbers that few if any successsfully travel through the ducts and into the ejaculated fluid (hypospermatogeneses).  This situation may be caused by genetic abnormalities, hormonal factors, or varicoceles.

Even in the case where the testes are only producing low numbers of sperm, the sperm may be harvested and used in conjunction with advanced reproductive techniques to attempt a pregnancy.
