Risk Factors For Male And Female Infertility

Have you been wondering what the cause of infertility in both males and females are? In this article, we will be taking a look at the risk factors for male and female infertility. Keep reading, we got it all covered.

Risk factors for female infertility

Factors that could contribute to female infertility include:

Abnormal menstruation
Blocked fallopian tubes
Celiac disease
Kidney disease
Past ectopic (tubal) pregnancy
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Pituitary gland disorders, such as Cushing’s syndrome
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian cysts, and primary ovarian insufficiency
Sickle cell anemia
Uterine problems, including endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and uterine polyps
Thyroid disease

Risk factors for male infertility

They include:

Enlarged veins (varicocele) in the scrotum, the sac that holds the testicles
Genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis
High heat exposure to testicles from tight clothing or frequent use of hot tubs and saunas
Injury to the scrotum or testicles
Low sperm count or low testosterone (hypogonadism).
Misuse of anabolic steroids
Premature ejaculation or retrograde ejaculation (semen flows back into the bladder)
Testicular cancer and treatments
Undescended testicles

If, after a year of trying, a woman under 35 is still not pregnant, she should visit a doctor. If you are older than 35, you should get help sooner (after six months of trying). As a woman ages, her chances of becoming pregnant decline. The fertility of a woman in her 30s is half that of a woman in her 20s. Regardless of gender, if you have a risk factor that affects fertility, you should seek care as soon as possible.
