Causes of Infertility

Infertility is a complex condition affecting both men and women, caused by various factors. Understanding the root causes can help in seeking appropriate medical intervention for treatment and management.

Introduction

Irregular hormone levels can disrupt ovulation in women and sperm production in men, leading to infertility. Common conditions include PCOS, thyroid disorders, and low testosterone levels.

Hormonal Imbalances

Fertility declines with age, especially in women after 35, due to reduced egg quality and quantity. In men, sperm motility and quality may also decline over time.

Age Factor

Blocked fallopian tubes prevent the sperm from reaching the egg, leading to infertility. Causes include infections, endometriosis, or previous pelvic surgeries affecting the reproductive system.

Tubal Blockages

Men with a low sperm count may struggle with conception. Causes include genetic factors, hormonal disorders, varicocele, and lifestyle choices such as smoking, alcohol, and stress.

Low Sperm Count

Endometriosis

Unhealthy habits like excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, drug use, poor diet, and lack of exercise can negatively impact reproductive health in both men and women.

Lifestyle Factors

Inherited genetic conditions, such as Turner syndrome in women and Klinefelter syndrome in men, can lead to infertility by affecting normal reproductive functions and hormone production.

Genetic Disorders

Infertility has multiple causes, but medical advancements offer hope. Early diagnosis and lifestyle changes, combined with proper treatment, can improve the chances of conception and a healthy pregnancy.
