Infertility News
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. It affects both men and women and can result from a variety of causes. In women, common issues include ovulatory disorders, tubal damage, and age-related factors, while in men, infertility may be due to low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or anatomical problems. The diagnosis of infertility involves a series of tests such as semen analysis, hormonal profiling, and imaging studies like ultrasound. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and can include medication to improve hormonal balance or stimulate ovulation, assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), and surgical interventions to repair structural problems. Infertility is not only a medical condition but also a significant emotional and psychological issue for many couples, impacting their relationships and quality of life.
