Most Common Causes of Fertility Issues Include:
- Age - fertility naturally declines with age, particularly after 35 years, affecting egg quality.
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) - a hormonal imbalance that can disrupt ovulation and menstrual cycles that may make it more difficult to conceive.
- Endometerosis - this condition can lead to inflammation, hormonal changes and scar growth that all may interfere with fertility.
- Thyroid disorder - an underactive or overactive thyroid can significantly affect menstrual cycles and overall hormonal balance, impacting fertility.
- Male Factor Infertility - low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology can significantly reduce the chances of conception.
