Infertility
Infertility
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. It affects millions of couples worldwide and can result from factors involving either the woman, the man, or both partners. Infertility can cause significant emotional distress and impact a couple’s physical and mental well-being.
Female infertility may be caused by a variety of issues, including hormonal imbalances, ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, uterine abnormalities, endometriosis, or age-related decline in fertility. Lifestyle factors such as excessive stress, poor diet, obesity, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption can also affect fertility. Additionally, certain medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid disorders can interfere with reproductive health.
Male infertility is often related to problems with sperm production or function. Common causes include low sperm count, poor sperm motility, abnormal sperm shape, infections, hormonal imbalances, or lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol use, and exposure to toxins.
Diagnosis of infertility involves thorough evaluation of both partners. For women, this may include blood tests to check hormone levels, ultrasound imaging, and assessment of ovulation. For men, semen analysis is a key diagnostic test to evaluate sperm count, motility, and morphology.
Treatment for infertility depends on the underlying cause. Options range from lifestyle modifications and medication to stimulate ovulation, to surgical interventions to correct structural problems. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) are widely used to help couples conceive when other treatments are unsuccessful.
Early diagnosis and timely intervention improve the chances of successful pregnancy. Emotional support and counseling are also important parts of infertility care, helping couples cope with the stress and challenges of treatment.
