50% of cases of infertility of a couple is due exclusively to women
The causes
of female infertility are very diverse, although we must establish clear
differences between primary infertility (when not previously had children) and
secondary (when you have had at least one child).
For pregnancy to occur, several things must happen:
It should develop an egg in one of the ovaries of women.
The ovary to release an egg each month (ovulation). The egg must then be picked up by one of the fallopian tubes.
A man's sperm must travel through the uterus to the fallopian tubes to join the egg and fertilize it.
The fertilized egg must travel through the fallopian tubes and adhering (implanted) to the lining of the uterus.
Causes of female infertility
Between 75
and 85% of cases of female infertility is due to anovulation - that is, the
ovum is not expelled Ovary -, theendometriosis - condition in which uterine
tissue outside the uterus, in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, intestines, bladder
and even periotoneo - and finally, the factor peritoneal tube - when the
fallopian tubes, which carry sperm to the egg, have an injury, blocking or
adherence.
However,
they are not the only causes of female infertility. Here are other factors that
may be the cause of female infertility.

Prevention
In some
cases, the causes of female infertility are in their habits and, consequently,
are preventable. No smoking, no alcohol, no drugs are part of this chapter, but
also to maintain a balanced diet, regular exercise but without excess. Finally,
we should mention the unprotected sex when you do not have a stable partner.
It is also
important to detect and correct treatment of diseases that may affect
fertility, so they undergo (not only gynecologic) regular checkups can be a
good way to avoid situations of infertility or reverse them by appropriate
treatment.
It should,
finally, to emphasize the fact not delay the moment of motherhood if you want
to have children, because age is a determining factor in the degree of female
fertility.
