Infertility
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse. It affects both men and women and can be caused by a variety of factors. Difficulty getting pregnant is stressful for any couple. Our doctors provide counseling and guidance as well as offer basic fertility testing to help overcome some of the obstacles that couples face.
Causes of infertility may include:
Uterine fibroids
Women over the age of 35
Tobacco, marijuana, and other drugs
Chemotherapy
Painful menstrual periods
Pelvic infection
Irregular menstrual cycles and PCOS
Male causes such as low sperm count or motility
If you are experiencing difficulty getting pregnant, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider who can diagnose and manage fertility issues. They may recommend basic fertility testing to identify any underlying causes of infertility and develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
