Infertility And Pregnancy In Women

Pregnancy in women occurs when the reproductive system and the endocrine system work together. The endocrine glands in the brain, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, must function properly. The hypothalamus stimulates the pituitary gland. Thus, the pituitary gland activates the LH and FSH hormones. Hormones then come to the ovaries through the bloodstream.

Then, the sacs (follicles) filled with ovaries begin the maturation phase. The healthiest mature egg is deposited in the canal between the uterus and ovaries. These are the fallopian tubes, where the egg can survive for 24 hours. Sperm, which is a male reproductive cell, can live in the female body for up to 5 days. With fertilization, the zygote turns into an embryo and pregnancy occurs.

The causes of infertility preventing pregnancy in women can be listed as follows:

Thyroid hormone disorders,
Cancer treatments,
Hyperprolactinemia,
