Infertility

Infertility refers to the inability of a couple to conceive after one year of trying (or six months if the woman is over 35). It can affect both men and women and is often due to various factors, such as hormonal imbalances, structural issues with reproductive organs, or lifestyle factors. In men, infertility may involve low sperm count or quality. In women, it can be related to ovulation issues or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Treatment options range from medication and lifestyle changes to assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF).
