Infertility - Rejuvenate Wellness

What is Infertility?

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of unprotected intercourse. It affects an estimated 10-15% of couples globally. The causes of infertility are complex and can involve both partners.

Some key facts about infertility:

• It is equally common in men and women. Male factor infertility accounts for 30-40% of cases, while female factor accounts for 40-55%.
• The most common causes in women are ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, and uterine or cervical abnormalities.
• In men, the most common causes are low sperm count, poor sperm quality, abnormalities, and obstructions in the reproductive tract.
• Lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, stress, and obesity can negatively impact fertility in both sexes.
• Age is also a major factor, as fertility starts to decline significantly in the mid-30s for women and 40s for men.
• Unexplained infertility makes up 15-30% of cases.
• Certain medical conditions like thyroid disorders, PCOS, and diabetes can cause or contribute to infertility.
