Abnormal Pelvis and Fertility Challenges

Understanding the Impact of an Abnormal Pelvis

An abnormal pelvis can significantly affect a woman’s fertility and pregnancy outcomes. Conditions such as hydrosalpinx, pelvic adhesions, and uterine anomalies can lead to implantation failure, recurrent miscarriages, and other complications. Recognizing and addressing these issues is crucial for improving the chances of a successful pregnancy and live birth.

Key Pelvic Abnormalities Affecting Fertility

  1. Hydrosalpinx:
    • A condition where a fallopian tube is blocked with fluid, often causing recurrent implantation failure. Surgical removal or correction of hydrosalpinx can enhance fertility outcomes.
  2. Pelvic Adhesions:
    • Bands of scar tissue that can form after surgery, infection, or endometriosis, potentially causing pain and infertility. Laparoscopic surgery can help remove these adhesions and restore normal pelvic anatomy.
  3. Uterine Anomalies:
    • Structural abnormalities of the uterus, such as septate uterus or bicornuate uterus, can interfere with implantation and pregnancy. Corrective surgery can often improve pregnancy rates.

Miscarriage Risks from Poor Lifestyle

Lifestyle factors play a critical role in reproductive health. Poor habits and deficiencies can increase the risk of miscarriage and other pregnancy complications. Dr. Karunakar emphasizes the importance of addressing these factors as part of a comprehensive fertility treatment plan.

  • Excessive Body Fat/Weight (Female and Male):
    • Maintaining a healthy weight is essential for both partners to optimize fertility and reduce miscarriage risks.
  • Hyperglycemia:
    • Elevated blood sugar levels can impact hormone balance and egg quality, increasing the risk of miscarriage.
  • Hypothyroidism:
    • An underactive thyroid can disrupt menstrual cycles and affect overall fertility.
  • Vitamin Deficiencies:
    • Adequate levels of vitamins and minerals are crucial for a healthy pregnancy. Common deficiencies include:
      • Vitamin D: Linked to infertility, miscarriage, implantation failure, and abnormal pregnancies.
      • Vitamin B6, B12, CQ10: Important for egg quality and energy production.
      • Vitamin E & Omega 3: Essential for reducing inflammation and supporting overall reproductive health.
