Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse. It affects an estimated 1 in 8 couples globally. The most common causes of infertility include:
- Ovulation disorders - problems with ovulation account for about 25% of female infertility cases. These include polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), primary ovarian insufficiency, ovarian cysts, etc.
- Damage or blockage in the fallopian tubes - can prevent the egg and sperm from meeting. Usually caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, prior surgeries, endometriosis.
- Endometriosis - where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing inflammation and scarring. This can disrupt fertility in various ways.
- Low sperm count or quality - responsible for about 30-40% cases of infertility. Sperm issues can be caused by genetics, health conditions, lifestyle factors like smoking, etc.
- Unexplained infertility - where no specific cause is found despite complete infertility workup. Accounts for 15-30% of cases.
- Other issues like uterine fibroids, anatomical problems, genetic issues, thyroid problems etc.
Diagnostic tests for infertility aim to find the underlying cause. These include:
- Semen analysis
- Ovulation testing
- Hysterosalpingography (HSG test)
- Laparoscopy
- Ovarian reserve testing
- Genetic testing
And more. Treatment options for infertility depend on the specific cause and include:
- Timed intercourse
- Ovulation induction medicines
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
- Assisted reproductive techniques like IVF, ICSI, etc.
