What is Infertility ?

Infertility is a medical condition characterized by the inability to conceive a child or carry a pregnancy to term after a year or more of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. It can affect both men and women and can be caused by various factors, including age, lifestyle choices, underlying health conditions, and genetic factors. In women, common causes include issues with ovulation, damage to the fallopian tubes, or problems with the uterus. In men, infertility is often due to problems with sperm production, function, or delivery.

Diagnosis typically involves a series of tests for both partners to determine the underlying cause, and treatment can vary from medication and lifestyle changes to assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). Addressing infertility can be a complex process requiring medical, emotional, and sometimes financial support.

Types of infertility?

  • Primary Infertility

    This type refers to couples who have never been able to conceive a child after at least one year of trying through unprotected sexual intercourse.

  • Secondary Infertility

    This type occurs when a couple has previously been able to conceive naturally and have a child, but are now unable to achieve another pregnancy.

  • Female Infertility

    This type of infertility is attributed to factors affecting the woman. Common causes include ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, uterine abnormalities, and endometriosis.

  • Male Infertility

    This type refers to infertility due to issues in the man. Causes include low sperm count, poor sperm motility, abnormal sperm shape, or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm.

  • Unexplained Infertility

    In some cases, no specific cause can be identified despite thorough medical evaluation of both partners. This is termed unexplained or idiopathic infertility.

How common is infertility?

Infertility is a relatively common condition that affects a significant portion of the population worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), infertility affects about 10-15% of couples globally. This translates to millions of individuals and couples facing challenges with conceiving and sustaining a pregnancy.

  • Global Prevalence: Approximately 1 in 6 couples experience infertility at some point in their reproductive lives.
  • Gender Distribution: Infertility affects both men and women. About one-third of infertility cases are due to female factors, one-third are due to male factors, and the remaining one-third are due to a combination of both partners or unexplained reasons.
  • Regional Variations: The prevalence of infertility can vary by region due to factors like access to healthcare, cultural practices, and socioeconomic conditions. In some developing countries, the rate of infertility may be higher due to untreated infections and lack of medical care.

Infertility is a significant public health issue that can have profound emotional, psychological, and social impacts on individuals and couples. As awareness and access to fertility treatments improve, more people are seeking help and finding solutions to overcome infertility.

What causes infertility?

Infertility can be caused by a variety of factors affecting both men and women. Here are some common causes:

Female Infertility

  • Ovulation Disorders

    Problems with ovulation, such as irregular or absent menstrual cycles, can prevent the release of eggs from the ovaries.

  • Fallopian Tube Damage

    Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes can prevent sperm from reaching the egg or hinder the fertilized egg from reaching the uterus.

  • Endometriosis

    This condition involves the growth of uterine tissue outside the uterus, which can interfere with the function of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus.

  • Uterine or Cervical Abnormalities

    Issues with the uterus or cervix, such as polyps, fibroids, or an abnormally shaped uterus, can affect implantation or increase the risk of miscarriage.

  • Age

    As women age, especially after the age of 35, the quality and quantity of their eggs decline, making conception more difficult.

Male Infertility

  • Sperm Production Issues

    Problems with the production of sperm, such as low sperm count or poor sperm quality, can affect fertility.

  • Sperm Delivery Issues

    Blockages or issues with ejaculation can prevent sperm from being delivered effectively.

  • Varicocele

    A varicocele is a swelling of the veins that drain the testicle, which can affect sperm quality.

  • Hormonal Imbalances

    Imbalances in hormones such as testosterone can affect sperm production.

  • Lifestyle Factors

    Factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol use, drug use, obesity, and exposure to environmental toxins can negatively impact sperm quality and quantity.

Unexplained Infertility

In some cases, no specific cause can be identified despite thorough medical evaluation of both partners. This is termed unexplained or idiopathic infertility.

Causes of Infertility in Women and People Assigned Female at Birth

Infertility in women and people assigned female at birth can result from a variety of factors. Here are some common causes:

  • Ovulation Disorders

    Issues with ovulation can prevent the release of eggs from the ovaries. Common ovulation disorders include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hypothalamic dysfunction.

  • Fallopian Tube Damage or Blockage

    Damage to or blockage of the fallopian tubes, often caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, or previous surgeries, can prevent sperm from reaching the egg or hinder the fertilized egg from reaching the uterus.

  • Endometriosis

    Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, which can cause inflammation, scarring, and adhesions, affecting fertility.

  • Uterine or Cervical Abnormalities

    Abnormalities of the uterus or cervix, such as uterine fibroids, polyps, or a malformed uterus, can interfere with implantation or increase the risk of miscarriage.

  • Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI)

    Also known as premature ovarian failure, POI is a condition where the ovaries stop functioning normally before the age of 40, leading to reduced estrogen production and irregular or absent menstrual periods.

  • Age

    Age is a significant factor in fertility. As women age, especially after the age of 35, the quantity and quality of their eggs decline, making it more difficult to conceive.

  • Hormonal Imbalances

    Hormonal imbalances, such as those involving the thyroid or prolactin levels, can disrupt the menstrual cycle and ovulation, impacting fertility.

  • Chronic Conditions

    Chronic health conditions such as diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can affect fertility.

  • Lifestyle Factors

    Lifestyle factors including smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, drug use, poor diet, obesity, and excessive stress can negatively impact fertility.

Unexplained Infertility

In some cases, no specific cause of infertility can be identified despite thorough medical evaluation. This is known as unexplained or idiopathic infertility.
