Description

Infertility is the inability to conceive or reproduce naturally, and it can affect people of all genders. It can be caused by a number of factors, including:

• Age
• Diet
• Alcohol consumption
• Environmental toxins
• Exercise
• Radiation therapy or chemotherapy
• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
• Smoking and tobacco products
• Substance abuse
• Obesity or underweight 

There are two types of infertility:

• Primary infertility

When a couple has not been able to conceive after at least a year of unprotected sex

• Secondary infertility

When a couple has been able to conceive at least once, but is now unable to do so 

Some causes of infertility are preventable, and there are many treatments available. For example, if infertility is due to ovulation issues, fertility medicines can help the ovaries release an egg. Other treatments include intrauterine insemination (IUI) and surgery.
