What REALLY is Secondary Infertility?
One standing truth that often raises a lot of eyebrows and tales is secondary infertility . Very few people are aware that such an occurrence is very common. Nine out of ten couples assume that once they have had the first childbirth, the second issue will be darn cakewalk. Actually the case is otherwise. The second childbirth is often more hassled and this happens for many a couples. This is a tell-tale sign of Secondary infertility.
If secondary infertility is not given proper medical attention in its early phase, the dream of having a second baby may remain unfulfilled. The shocking truth is in US these kinds of cases are prevalent among 60% of the couples. And this problem sees the light of the day only when a couple plans for a second child. Eventually, the blame game follows this. Therefore, if a woman does not succeed to get pregnant the second time post the birth of her first or more babies; this disorder is termed medically as the secondary infertility. Based on the 1995 survey report of the National Center for Health Statistics, it has been figured out that about 3.3 million women of USA were suffering from this problem. This was more distressful state than the 1988 survey that recorded 2.7 million women victims.
And to top it all, the medical fraternity does not have provisions to train the doctors on specialized fertility. Therefore, unaware that secondary infertility might befall their patients, the professionals don’t recommend them to keep trying for pregnancy. Consistent trials sometime pay off but only with the stroke of luck. Most of the times, these efforts do not produce any positive results.
Even if the stork knocks at the door for once, the causes responsible for this kind of sterility is same as those of the infertile cases. This includes both the partners. Though there are some marked differences between primary and secondary unproductiveness. Certain problems like putting on additional weight, bacterial infection, alcoholism, stagnant lifestyle with no exercise and stress bring down the sperm count in males. While in case of females the issues are much more serious. The woman may be having ovulation complications, which developed after the first child birth or is suffering from endometriosis. In fact, other viable reasons of secondary infertility are uterine fibroids or pelvic adhesions or polyps. Or else the ovary may be producing poor quality ovum because of ageing.
There are some sure signs that indicate whether a person is suffering from secondary infertility. They are unnatural and excess vaginal discharge or a burning sensation, inconsistent menstruation accompanied with pain. Men may experience low sexual urge, difficulty in ejaculation, which is aching and problem in erection of penis.
