Understanding Infertility
Infertility is a widespread condition that impacts a significant number of couples across the globe. It refers to the inability to achieve pregnancy despite having regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for a year—or six months if the woman is over the age of 35. Since both male and female partners can be affected, a comprehensive assessment is essential to identify the underlying cause and determine the most appropriate course of treatment.
At Gynae Care Kolkata, Dr. Sujata Datta, a leading gynaecologist and fertility specialist, offers advanced diagnostic and treatment options to help couples achieve their dream of parenthood.
Common Causes of Infertility
Infertility can be due to various medical, lifestyle, and genetic factors affecting both men and women.
Female Infertility Causes:
- Ovulation Disorders: Conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid imbalances can disrupt ovulation.
- Blocked Fallopian Tubes: Due to infections, endometriosis, or previous surgeries.
- Endometriosis: A condition where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, affecting fertility.
- Uterine Abnormalities: Fibroids, polyps, or congenital defects that hinder embryo implantation.
- Age-related Decline: Female fertility declines with age due to reduced egg quantity and quality.
Male Infertility Causes:
- Low Sperm Count or Poor Motility: Often due to hormonal imbalances, lifestyle factors, or genetic conditions.
- Erectile Dysfunction or Ejaculation Disorders: Can affect natural conception.
- Testicular Issues: Infections, injury, or varicoceles impacting sperm production.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol, obesity, and exposure to environmental toxins.
Symptoms Indicating Infertility
While infertility itself is a symptomless condition, certain signs may indicate underlying reproductive issues:
- Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
- Painful periods or pelvic pain(potential signs of endometriosis or fibroids)
- History of recurrent miscarriages
- Erectile dysfunction or low libido in men
- Unsuccessful conception after a year of trying
