Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse (or six months if the woman is over 35). It is a common and often emotionally challenging condition affecting millions of couples worldwide. Infertility can stem from issues with either the male or female partner, or a combination of factors. For women, common causes include ovulation disorders (such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome - PCOS), blocked fallopian tubes (often due to endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease), uterine abnormalities (like fibroids or polyps), and diminished ovarian reserve (reduced egg quantity or quality). Male infertility can be due to low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm shape. Lifestyle factors, such as age, weight, smoking, and stress, can also play a role for both partners. Diagnosing infertility involves a comprehensive evaluation for both partners, including hormone tests, semen analysis, and imaging of the reproductive organs. Treatment options vary widely depending on the underlying cause and may include lifestyle modifications, medication to stimulate ovulation, surgical correction of structural problems, intrauterine insemination (IUI), or in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
