About Male and Female Infertility

Consult our O&G specialist if you or your partner have the following conditions:

Male Infertility:

Low Sperm Count:

A common cause of male infertility is a low sperm count. This can result from various factors such as hormonal imbalances, genetic issues, or certain health conditions.

Poor Sperm Motility:

Sperm need to move effectively to reach and fertilize an egg. If sperm motility is low, it can hinder the chances of fertilization.

Abnormal Sperm Morphology:

The shape and structure of sperm can impact fertility. Abnormalities in sperm morphology may affect their ability to penetrate an egg.

Erectile Dysfunction:

Difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection can contribute to infertility.

Varicocele:

A varicocele is the swelling of the veins that drain the testicle. It is a common cause of male infertility and can affect sperm production and function.

Infections:

Infections, such as sexually transmitted infections, can affect sperm production and quality.

Female Infertility:

Ovulation Disorders:

Irregular or absent ovulation can be a major cause of female infertility. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition associated with ovulatory dysfunction.

Blocked Fallopian Tubes:

Blockages in the fallopian tubes can prevent the egg from reaching the uterus and the sperm from reaching the egg, reducing the chances of fertilization.

Endometriosis:

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. This can interfere with the normal functioning of the reproductive organs.

Uterine Issues:

Abnormalities in the structure of the uterus, such as fibroids or polyps, can impact fertility.

Age-related Factors:

Female fertility declines with age, and advanced maternal age is associated with a decreased ovarian reserve and an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities.

Hormonal Imbalances:

Imbalances in hormones essential for reproductive function, such as estrogen and progesterone, can affect fertility.

Lifestyle Factors:

Factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and stress can contribute to infertility in both men and women.

Diagnosis and Treatment:

Both male and female infertility can be diagnosed through a variety of tests and examinations. Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, medications, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like in vitro fertilization (IVF), or surgical interventions depending on the underlying cause.
It’s important for couples experiencing infertility to consult with a reproductive and fertility specialist, to determine the specific causes and explore appropriate treatment options tailored to their unique circumstances.
