Infertility affects roughly 1 in 7 couples in the UK, making it a common yet deeply personal challenge. Defined as the inability to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse, infertility can result from various physical, hormonal, or lifestyle-related factors. For both men and women, medical and emotional support are essential components of managing and overcoming infertility challenges.
Infertility can stem from a range of health factors, affecting either one or both partners. Common causes for women include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, hormonal imbalances, and issues with ovulation. In men, low sperm count, reduced motility, or structural issues can contribute. Other lifestyle factors, such as age, stress, smoking, and alcohol consumption, can also impact fertility in both partners.
Early intervention can be crucial. Some fertility issues, such as hormonal imbalances or blockages, can be more effectively managed when detected early. Understanding potential barriers to conception and having the right support from a medical team can make a significant difference in your journey to parenthood.
