Infertility

Infertility is the inability to get pregnant after a year of unprotected sexual intercourse or the inability to produce a baby.

What are the causes?

A wide range of causes are responsible for infertility. Some of the most common reasons in women are hormonal problems, blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, sexually transmitted disease(s) and pelvic infection. In men, infertility has been linked to sperm disorders, retrograde ejaculation, hormone deficiency and scarring from sexually transmitted disease(s).

Approximately 10 – 20 per cent of couples will be unable to conceive after 1 year of trying for a baby.

A woman is at her most fertile during her early 20s and fertility drops substantially once a woman turns 35.
