Fertility issues are more common than people think, and modern reproductive medicine has made it possible for thousands of couples to conceive successfully through advanced treatments like IVF, ICSI, and IUI. If you’re considering fertility treatment or exploring your options, this guide will help you understand how to take the first step with clarity and confidence.
Understanding Infertility: A Common but Misunderstood Issue
Infertility affects millions of couples worldwide, yet it remains surrounded by stigma and confusion. The truth is that infertility does not define who you are, and it is not anyone’s “fault.”
In nearly 40% of cases, male factors contribute; another 40% involve female-related causes; and in 20% of cases, both partners may face challenges.
Common causes include:
- Hormonal imbalances
- PCOS
- Low sperm count or poor motility
- Blocked fallopian tubes
- Age-related fertility decline
- Endometriosis
- Ovulation issues
Understanding the root cause is the first step toward finding the right treatment.
