Introduction
Fertility challenges affect millions of couples worldwide, yet the topic remains clouded by myths and misinformation. At Genesis IVF Fertility Hospital in Salem, we believe that knowledge is the first step toward empowerment. Whether you're just beginning your journey or seeking advanced reproductive care, understanding the root causes of infertility can help you make informed decisions.
What Is Infertility?
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse. It affects both men and women — and contrary to popular belief, male factors contribute to nearly 50% of all cases.
Common Causes in Women:
- Hormonal Imbalances (e.g., PCOS, thyroid disorders)
- Blocked Fallopian Tubes
- Endometriosis
- Age-related Decline in Egg Quality
Common Causes in Men:
- Low Sperm Count or Motility
- Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum)
- Hormonal Deficiencies
- Lifestyle Factors (smoking, alcohol, obesity)
When to Seek Help
Early diagnosis can make a significant difference. You should consider consulting a fertility specialist if:
- You’re under 35 and haven’t conceived after 12 months
- You’re over 35 and haven’t conceived after 6 months
- You’ve had multiple miscarriages
- You have known reproductive health issues
At Genesis IVF, we offer comprehensive fertility evaluations, including hormonal profiling, ultrasound scans, semen analysis, and advanced genetic testing.
