What causes Secondary Infertility in young women? - Dr. Shailaja N

What is secondary infertility. Here the woman has proved her ability to conceive before she has been labeled as infertile. The 4 things that are required for a good pregnancy are a good sperm, good egg, the patent fallopian tube to transfer these 2 and the normal uterine cavity for support her pregnancy. When she has conceived, we think of in lines of tubal problem and uterine problems. Usually the tubes get obstructed in case of infection, which can happen during abortion, delivery or even secondary to the sexually transmitted diseases.it becomes more common especially when the previous pregnancy outcome or adverse. That means if it is abortion or preterm delivery. So first how do about in secondary infertility? First we do a baseline scan to see the uterus and the ovaries but the tubal patency has to be checked either by doing a hysterosalpingogram or laparoscopic chromopertubation,based on the individual case scenario. So tubes cannot be seen in ultrasound. So these are the 2 thing that we have to think in secondary infertility.
