Infertility - Hormone Harmony Clinic

What is infertility?

Infertility refers to the inability to conceive a child or carry a pregnancy to full term after trying for over a year without success (or 6 months if a woman is over 35 years old). This medical condition affects an estimated 1 in 8 couples today.

Some common causes behind female infertility include:

• Irregular periods or absence of periods (amenorrhea)
• Issues with the uterus or fallopian tubes
• Hormone imbalances like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Endometriosis
• Prior complications from STDs or pelvic infections

Whereas some reasons for male infertility include:

• Low sperm count (oligospermia)
• Poor sperm motility
• Abnormal sperm shape and size (teratozoospermia)
• Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum)
• Infections
• Erectile dysfunction

If you and your partner have been trying to conceive for over a year with no success, I would recommend booking an appointment with a fertility specialist.

Now to answer a few common questions about infertility:

Does infertility mean I can never have a child?

No, infertility is treatable through various medical interventions and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) procedures like:

• Fertility medications to stimulate ovulation and egg production
• Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
• In vitro fertilization (IVF)
• Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) into the egg
• Donor eggs or sperm

Today the success rates of these infertility treatments are quite high, giving hope to millions globally.

What lifestyle changes can improve fertility?

• Maintain a healthy BMI between 19-25
• Take supplements like folic acid and antioxidants
• Avoid smoking and limit alcohol intake
• Reduce stress via yoga, meditation, counselling
• Have intercourse at peak ovulation days

Making positive lifestyle choices can help treat underlying issues for both partners and prepare the body for conception.

So in summary - infertility refers to consistent difficulties getting pregnant/sustaining a pregnancy. It has numerous medical and lifestyle causes. While the diagnosis can feel overwhelming initially, today there are more treatment options than ever to help couples struggling with infertility build their families.
