Fertility Testing Q & A
-
What
causes infertility?
Infertility is the inability to get pregnant with frequent, unprotected intercourse. Infertility can be an issue with the male or female partner or both in some cases.
When any of the steps in the reproduction process don’t happen, or the timing is off, pregnancy can’t happen. Because fertility is a complex condition, it takes time to diagnose the cause.
Many different factors can potentially cause infertility, includingBenign growths, endometrial scarring, or structural issues interfere with implantation or increases the risk of miscarriage.
Previous surgery and certain diseases damage or block the fallopian tubes, preventing sperm from reaching the egg.
Imbalanced reproductive hormones interfere with regular ovulation or prevent it completely.
Age, smoking, an unhealthy weight, and sexually transmitted diseases can impact fertility. Being overweight or underweight
Dealing with chronic stress
Eating a poor diet
Exercising too strenuously or too often
Smoking or drinking too much alcohol
Having a chronic condition, such as diabetes
Having polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Having a sexually transmitted infection (STI)
When the cause of infertility can’t be found, treatment is still encouraged.
