Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive a child or carry a pregnancy to full term after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse. It affects an estimated 1 in 8 couples of reproductive age. While both men and women can suffer from infertility, around 35% of cases are due to female factor infertility, 35% due to male factor infertility, 20% due to issues in both partners, and 10% are unexplained.
The most common causes of female infertility include:
- Ovulation disorders - lack of ovulation or irregular ovulation can prevent pregnancy
- Blocked fallopian tubes - often caused by pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis
- Uterine problems - fibroids, polyps, or other abnormalities
- Endometriosis - where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus
For men, common culprits are:
- Low sperm count
- Abnormal sperm shape or mobility
- Low testosterone
- Varicocele - enlarged veins near the testicles
Diagnosing the root cause is crucial for determining the appropriate course of treatment. After assessing medical history and running tests, doctors may recommend lifestyle changes, fertility drugs, surgery, intrauterine insemination, or IVF.
