🤰 Top Reasons Why You Might Be Facing Fertility Issues – Expert Guide by Dr. Rohini

Introduction
Fertility issues are more common than you might think, and they affect both women and men. If you’ve been trying to conceive for several months without success, it’s important to understand the possible reasons behind it. Early evaluation and treatment can improve your chances of conception.

Here are the top causes of fertility problems and when you should seek help.

🔍 1. Hormonal Imbalances (PCOS / Thyroid)

Hormonal conditions like PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) or thyroid disorders can affect ovulation, making it difficult to conceive naturally.

🧬 2. Age-Related Fertility Decline

Fertility starts to decline after age 30, especially after 35. Egg quality and quantity decrease over time, affecting chances of pregnancy.

🧫 3. Blocked Fallopian Tubes or Uterine Problems

Conditions like fibroids, endometriosis, or blocked fallopian tubes can prevent sperm and egg from meeting.

🧑‍⚕️ 4. Male Fertility Issues

Infertility is not only a female issue. Low sperm count, motility problems, or lifestyle factors in men can also impact fertility.

🚬 5. Lifestyle Factors (Stress, Weight, Smoking)

High stress, unhealthy body weight, poor diet, smoking, and alcohol use can all reduce fertility in both partners.
