Fertility: What are the most common causes of infertility?

Ovulation Disorders

• Issues like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or hormonal imbalances can prevent egg release.

Tubal Factors

• Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, often due to infections, can hinder egg and sperm meeting.

Uterine or Cervical Issues

• Conditions such as fibroids or cervical mucus problems can affect implantation or sperm movement.

Age-Related Factors

• Fertility declines with age, even at 30, due to decreasing egg quality and quantity.

Lifestyle and Environmental Factors

• Stress, smoking, excessive alcohol, obesity, and toxin exposure can impact fertility.

Medical Conditions

• Thyroid disorders, diabetes, or autoimmune diseases may affect fertility.

Diagnostic and Specialist Consultation

• Consult a gynecologist or fertility specialist for tests like hormone levels and ultrasounds.

Treatment Options

• Treatments may include medication, surgery, or assisted reproductive technologies.
