What is infertility?
According to wikipedia, infertility is defined as the condition of a couple after a year of marriage, having sex on average 2-3 times / week, without using any contraception and the wife is still not pregnant.
Signs of infertility are common in women
Menstrual disorders are among the signs of infertility
A woman's average menstrual cycle is 28 days. It may be normal to delay your period for a few days. But if the cycle is irregular, early coming months, late coming months may be signs of diseases related to the ovulation function of the ovaries. At the same time, prolonged and excessive bleeding can also be a sign of infertility. This may be related to problems with hoomone, or polycystic ovary (PCOS). Both of these can contribute to infertility.
Lower stomach pain during menstruation
This phenomenon is also known as dysmenorrhea. Most women experience colic during menstruation. But if frequent, very intense pain, unbearable pain, and interfering with everyday life, it may be a symptom of endometriosis.
Amenorrhea is a sign of infertility
It is not uncommon for women to experience a period of one or two months with amenorrhea because of factors such as stress or heavy exercise. But if the menstrual period goes away for several months, you should go to the hospital to have your fertility and health checkup.
