Infertility refers to the inability of a couple to conceive a child despite having regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for a year or more. It can result from issues in either partner or a combination of factors that prevent pregnancy.

Common Causes of Infertility:

In Women:

• Ovulation disorders: Problems with releasing eggs.
• Blocked fallopian tubes: Often due to infections, endometriosis, or pelvic surgeries.
• Uterine abnormalities: Issues like fibroids, polyps, or structural problems.
• Age: Fertility declines significantly after age 35.
• Hormonal imbalances: Conditions like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).

In Men:

• Low sperm count: Insufficient sperm production.
• Poor sperm motility: Difficulty in sperm movement.
• Sperm abnormalities: Issues with sperm shape or structure.
• Hormonal imbalances: Affecting sperm production.
• Testicular issues: Such as varicocele or infections.

Treatment Options:

• Medications: To address hormonal issues or stimulate ovulation.
• Surgery: For blocked tubes, fibroids, or other structural problems.
• Assisted reproductive technologies (ART): Such as IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), or IUI (Intrauterine Insemination).
• Lifestyle changes: Including diet, exercise, and managing stress.
