Infertility
What is Infertility?
Infertility is the inability to conceive a child after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse. It can affect both men and women and can be due to a variety of factors. Understanding infertility and its causes is the first step towards finding a solution.Causes of Infertility
1. Ovulation Disorders
-
Issues with ovulation can prevent eggs from being released from the ovaries.
Causes include hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or thyroid problems.
2. Fallopian Tube Damage
-
Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes can prevent sperm from reaching the egg.
This can result from pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, or previous surgeries.
3. Uterine or Cervical Issues
-
Abnormalities in the uterus or cervix, such as fibroids or polyps, can interfere with implantation or sperm travel.
4. Age
-
As women age, the quality and quantity of their eggs decline, making conception more difficult.
