What is Infertility?
Infertility is a condition where a couple is unable to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse. It can affect both men and women and may require medical intervention.
Common Causes of Infertility
- In Women: PCOS, endometriosis, ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, uterine abnormalities.
- In Men: Low sperm count, poor sperm motility, hormonal imbalances, lifestyle factors.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Doctors use blood tests, ultrasound scans, and semen analysis to diagnose infertility. Treatment options include ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), and surgical procedures.
When to Seek Medical Help?
If you’re under 35 and have been trying for a year without success (or 6 months if over 35), consult a fertility specialist for proper evaluation and treatment.
