Infertility refers to the inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to full term after 1 year or more of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. It affects an estimated 1 in 8 couples trying to conceive. While infertility is often thought of as a women's health issue, causes lie with both men and women.
There are various causes of infertility:
Infertility can be a frustrating and emotional experience for patients. Diagnosing the underlying cause usually starts with an evaluation of the woman first, checking the regularity and timing of ovulation and any structural issues. Semen analysis and hormone bloodwork are also standard. From there, treatment options range from ovarian stimulation medications to increase ovulation to surgeries to repair reproductive organs, or use of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) like in vitro fertilization (IVF).
