Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse. Affecting both men and women, it can result from a variety of factors including hormonal imbalances, physical problems, age, and lifestyle factors such as smoking and obesity. Women may experience issues such as ovulation disorders or fallopian tube damage, while men might face low sperm count or sperm motility issues. Diagnosis typically involves physical exams, blood tests, and imaging studies. Treatment can range from medication and surgery to assistive reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF). Addressing underlying conditions and making lifestyle changes are also integral parts of managing infertility.
