Unfortunately infertility has become a growing concern in our society. Infertility is defined by the inability to conceive within twelve months of unprotected intercourse and twenty percents of couples suffer from this. If after the twelve month period you still haven’t succeeded in conception it’s recommended that you consult a doctor who will then run tests on both you and your partner. Tests for fertility problems will determine what type of infertility you are faced with and which services or specialists to turn to next. With all the technological and medical advances available to us, there is an array of possible treatments that can help couples conceive successfully.
The causes for infertility can involve the man, then woman or both parties. When doctors first examine you and your partner they will be looking at the most obvious causes that usually include previous pregnancies, pelvic pain, children previously fathered, testicular injury, infections and surgery among other factors that could have brought on the need for fertility services. Some of the main fertility problems in men are due to sperm disorders like the count, concentration, mobility and shape. For woman it’s difficult to conceive over the age of 35 and if you suffer from irregular or absent periods, if you previously used intrauterine devices (IUD), a history of pelvic infection or cervical disorders.
Other factors that contribute to infertility that you can control are your use of tobacco and alcohol intake. Too much or too little ejaculation can reduce your sperm count, and also your timing and frequency of intercourse.
