fertility

Fertility refers to a person's ability to conceive a child naturally. It involves the reproductive system functioning properly, allowing eggs to be released from the ovaries (in women) and sperm to meet and fertilize the egg. Factors such as age, health, hormonal balance, and lifestyle can influence fertility. In women, fertility peaks in their 20s and declines with age, while in men, sperm production generally remains stable but may decrease in quality over time. Fertility is a complex interplay of biological processes, and difficulty conceiving may involve one or both partners.
