Infertility Among Married Couples

The issue of infertility among married couples remains one of the biggest causes of marital problems in Nigeria. When a union fails to produce a baby after a year or two, tensions mount as the mother-in-law becomes impatient. Usually, roving eyes are always on the woman, who is seen to be the cause of the infertility issue. The man, who is equally responsible and is even very likely to be the cause of the problem, is faced with much lesser pressure.

There are various reasons for infertility among married couples. In men, infertility can be caused by low sperm count or motility, blockages in the reproductive tract, hormonal imbalances, or genetic factors.

Women can experience infertility due to ovulation problems, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, or hormonal imbalances.

Infertility can be difficult for couples to cope with emotionally, especially when it feels like everyone around them can easily conceive. It can lead to sadness, frustration, and even guilt or shame. Couples may also experience strain on their relationships, as the pressure to conceive can lead to arguments and tension.

What is Infertility?

Infertility is the inability of couples to conceive a child after trying for at least one year. It can affect both men and women; in some cases, the cause of infertility may be unknown.. According to Dr. Selma Yahaya, the medical director of NISA Reproductive Health Centre, Kaduna State, Nigeria, 10-30% of couples have some form of infertility during their reproductive years in Nigeria.

In men, infertility can be caused by low sperm count or motility, blockages in the reproductive tract, hormonal imbalances, or genetic factors.

Causes of infertility among married couples

Infertility is a complex issue that can be caused by various factors, both in men and women. The following are some of the causes of infertility among married couples:

1. Ovulation Problems: Ovulation problems are among women's most common causes of infertility. These include irregular periods, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid problems, and other hormonal imbalances.
2. Tubal Factors: Blockages or damage to the fallopian tubes can prevent the egg and sperm from meeting, resulting in infertility.
3. Endometriosis is when the tissue that is supposed to grow inside the uterus grows outside, causing pain and damage to the reproductive organs.
4. Uterine or Cervical Problems: These can include abnormalities in the uterus or cervix, fibroids, or scar tissue that can interfere with the implantation of the fertilized egg.
5. Male Factor: Infertility can also be caused by problems in male reproductive health, such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or blockages in the reproductive tract.
6. Age: As women age, the number and quality of their eggs decrease, making it harder to conceive.
7. Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, drug use, and obesity can all contribute to infertility.
8. Environmental Factors: Exposure to toxins, chemicals, or radiation can also affect fertility in both men and women.
9. STDs: The effects of sexually transmitted diseases can be damaging to reproductive health. Diseases like syphilis, herpes, and gonorrhea can lead to watery sperm and low sperm count, which causes the couple to have a hard time when trying to conceive a baby.
10.  Drugs: Certain drugs can interfere with hormonal levels and function in the body and affect men's and women's reproductive health. These hormones, which include testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH), endocrine glands, can be interrupted by drugs meant for treating other health conditions.

Treatment of infertility among married couples

Infertility can be a challenging issue for married couples, but several treatments can help overcome it. The following are some common infertility treatments:

1. Medications: Medications such as Clomiphene citrate, Gonadotropins, or Metformin can help regulate hormones and improve ovulation in women. In men, drugs can also improve sperm count and motility.
2. Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): This procedure is where sperm is directly injected into the uterus, increasing the chances of fertilization.
3. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): In IVF, eggs are retrieved from the woman's ovaries and fertilized in a lab with sperm. The resulting embryos are then implanted in the woman's uterus.
4. Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct anatomical problems that prevent conception.
5. Donor Eggs or Sperm: Using donor eggs or sperm can be an option for couples unable to conceive independently.
6. Surrogacy: This is a process where a woman carries a pregnancy for another person or couple, either through artificial insemination or IVF.
7. Herbal treatments: There are case studies by couples of the effectiveness of kedi herbal products. Kedi Healthcare is a Chinese/Nigerian company that produces a range of herbal supplements and health products.
