How infertility can strike you.....

You have waited too long:This is the most important reason why several couples,especially women, are facing infertility problems. These days,couples are postponing their conception,says expert doctors.By the time a woman turns 40,the pool reserve of her eggs gets depleted. So the biological for producing children practically stops, observes doctors.Unlike a man, who can produce sperms till he dies, a woman is born with half a million eggs that deplete as she ages.Till about the age of 35, a woman's chances of conception are very high (about 55 per cent).The 36-40 age-group is the grey zone, where the chances of conception drop to about 20-25 per cent. As a woman ages the success rate of assisted reproduction technologies procedure also drops proportionately.
You smoke or drink:Some doctors observed that an ongoing study on the effects of smoking on sperm count at hospital shows a marked increase in abnormal-looking sperm, which also affects men's fertility potential.International studies reveal regular smoking actually brings down the sperm count by 15 per cent.The good news is that the effects are reversible. According a doctor,when a chain smoker has stopped smoking for a year,his sperm count increases between 50 and 800 per cent!These days,women too smoke a lot, which results in fewer chances of conception, higher incidences of miscarriage and premature births (which,in medical parlance, is known as secondary infertility).
Alcohol without which parties,it seems, fail to sparkle, can affect the male libido and therefore indirectly promotes infertility,says doctors.
You are in midication:More people are suffering from diseases like asthma and hypertension,thanks to unhealthy living habits.But they need to be careful while popping their regular pills,says experts.For example,a study reveals that up to 95 per cent of men taking some anti-hypertensives (used to treat hypertension) are reversibly infertile. It is believed that these drugs may elevate the cholesterol level in sperm,leading to the decreased ability of the sperm to bind the eggs.With women too,some anti-hypertensives block fertility.
Your environment is polluted:Plastic (never mind the number of microns, all of it emits xenoestrogen),exhaust fumes like lead, pesticides like DDT,dioxine(industrial chemicals) and such other pollutants, contribute to falling of sperm count, says doctors.In fact, we are surrounded by toxins everywhere.We breathe paints,we breathe,eat and drink pesticides...In the long run, all this affect the quality of eggs,says doctors.
