Infertility is defined as the inability to achieve pregnancy after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse in women under age 35, notes Dr. Alejandro Kava Braverman, obstetrician-gynecologist specializing in human reproduction at ABC Medical Center.<\/p>\n
According to the European Society of Human Reproduction, an estimated 43 million couples worldwide experience infertility, with the main causes falling into three categories: a female factor, a male factor, or a combination of both.<\/p>\n
The World Health Organization reports that between 48 million couples and 186 million people worldwide experience infertility.<\/p>\n
In women, contributing factors can vary widely. Age is considered the most important predictor of a successful pregnancy. Women’s fertility tends to remain stable between ages 20 and 30, after which it begins to decline, becoming more noticeable by age 35.<\/p>\n
Hormonal imbalances, ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, and endometriosis can also play a role. All of these conditions can be linked to infertility, and each needs to be evaluated individually to find the right solution, notes Dr. Kava.<\/p>\n
In men, infertility can stem from issues with semen quality, including a low sperm concentration, or problems with sperm motility or shape (morphology), all of which can affect fertility.<\/p>\n
If you suspect you may be dealing with infertility, or are having trouble conceiving, it’s a good idea to see a reproductive medicine specialist, who can help find the right solution for your specific situation.<\/p>\n
Dr. Kava notes that a range of treatment options are available today, from simpler approaches to more advanced ones, such as in vitro fertilization, to help support a successful pregnancy.<\/p>\n
