Signs of a Fertility Problem

It is estimated that around eleven percent of women have trouble conceiving. In fact, many women do not know that they have a fertility problem until they unsuccessfully try to conceive. However, there are a number of other signs that suggest you have a fertility problem. Below is a list of things you should look out for:

Irregular Periods

Irregular periods are a sign that you are not ovulating regularly. If you are not ovulating regularly, then you will probably have more trouble conceiving. Many women are able to regulate their cycle with exercise and diet. Others will need to take medication. Birth control pills are effective for helping regulate cycles.

No Periods

If it has been a long time since you have had a period, then you should definitely seek medical attention. This could be a sign of infertility. You may also want to see a doctor if your periods are longer or shorter than usual.

Painful Periods

Women believe that painful periods are something that they just have to deal with. It is normal to experience pain during your period. However, painful periods are often an indication of uterine fibroids and endometriosis. Uterine fibrosis and endometriosis can cause fertility issues.

Unpleasant Changes in Appearance

In many cases, female infertility is caused by a hormonal problem. Hormonal problems can cause unpleasant changes. Women with hormonal problems often experience excessive hair growth on the face and body, acne and weight gain.
