Overview of Infertility Causes

• Infertility can result from female factors, male factors, or both.

Male Factor: Low Sperm Motility

• Sperm motility is crucial for fertilization. Low motility (25%) can significantly reduce conception chances.

Female Factors to Consider

• Age-related fertility decline is notable, especially after 35.
• Common issues include ovulation disorders, tubal blockages, endometriosis, and uterine abnormalities.

Diagnostic Steps

• Comprehensive evaluation for both partners is essential.
• Female tests: hormonal profile, ovulation assessment, pelvic ultrasound, hysterosalpingography.
• Male tests: repeat semen analysis, possibly advanced sperm function tests.

Treatment Options

• Lifestyle changes for both partners.
• Medical treatments to enhance ovulation or sperm quality.
• Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IUI or IVF.

Specialist Consultation

• Consult a fertility specialist or reproductive endocrinologist for personalized evaluation and management.

Emotional Support

• Recognize the emotional impact and seek support if needed.
