Infertility is a condition affecting millions of people worldwide, often in silence and solitude. For many couples, the path to parenthood is not always straightforward, and understanding how common infertility is can provide valuable perspective and encouragement. At Jeevan Women Care, we’re here to shed light on this topic, offering support and guidance every step of the way.
Understanding Infertility Rates
According to recent statistics, about 10-15% of couples worldwide face infertility challenges. This condition affects both men and women and may be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, lifestyle, age, and underlying health conditions. In fact, in 1 in 8 couples, either the man or woman may have a fertility problem, or both partners may experience difficulties.
Causes of Infertility
Infertility can have multiple causes, and in many cases, it involves a combination of factors from both partners. Common causes in women include ovulation disorders, age-related decline in fertility, endometriosis, and blocked fallopian tubes. For men, infertility is often linked to low sperm count, abnormal sperm, or issues with sperm mobility. In about 20% of cases, infertility has no identifiable cause, a condition known as unexplained infertility.
Rising Infertility Rates in Modern Times
Today’s lifestyle changes, work-related stress, delayed parenthood, and environmental factors have all contributed to an increase in infertility rates. Many couples are choosing to start families later in life, often after age 35, which can impact fertility as age is a significant factor for both men and women. Additionally, lifestyle choices such as smoking, excessive alcohol intake, and poor diet can impact fertility.
Treatment Options at Jeevan Women Care
At Jeevan Women Care, we understand the emotional and physical challenges associated with infertility and offer a range of fertility treatments tailored to meet each individual’s needs. Common treatments include medication to stimulate ovulation, intrauterine insemination (IUI), and in vitro fertilization (IVF). With expert care, advanced technology, and a compassionate approach, we help couples navigate their journey toward parenthood.
When to Seek Help
It’s essential to seek medical advice if you have been trying to conceive for over a year (or six months if you’re over 35) without success. Early intervention can help identify underlying issues and provide treatment options to increase the likelihood of a successful pregnancy.
