Understanding Infertility
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (or six months for women over 35). It affects both men and women, with common causes including hormonal imbalances, structural issues, and underlying medical conditions. Environmental factors such as pollution, stress, diet, and lifestyle choices like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption also play a role in reproductive health.
Initial Consultation and Diagnosis
The fertility journey begins with a thorough consultation, during which a specialist will review medical history, conduct diagnostic tests, and determine potential causes of infertility. Common evaluations include hormone testing, ovarian reserve assessment, semen analysis, and imaging studies such as ultrasounds and hysterosalpingograms (HSGs).
