Infertility is the inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term. It can be caused by various factors, including hormonal imbalances, physical problems with the reproductive system, and lifestyle factors such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Age is also a significant factor, as fertility decreases with age, particularly for women. Other potential risk factors for infertility include certain medical conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and sexually transmitted infections. Treatments for infertility may include medications, assisted reproductive technologies (ART), and surgery.
