Infertility refers to the inability of a couple to conceive after one year of regular unprotected intercourse. It may occur due to issues affecting either the male or female reproductive system. Hormonal imbalance, ovulation problems, blocked fallopian tubes, or low sperm count are common causes.
Lifestyle factors such as stress, smoking, alcohol consumption, and obesity may also affect fertility. Infertility can be emotionally challenging for couples. Fortunately, advances in reproductive medicine offer effective treatment options.
