Male infertility refers to the inability of a man to conceive a child with his partner after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse. It can be due to problems with sperm production, sperm delivery, or overall reproductive health. Problems with the ejaculation process, such as retrograde ejaculation (where sperm enters the bladder instead of leaving the body). Blockages in the ducts that carry sperm from the testes to the urethra, often due to injury or congenital issues. Conditions affecting the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, or other endocrine glands.
Female infertility refers to the inability of a woman to conceive a child after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse. It can be caused by a variety of factors affecting the reproductive system. A hormonal disorder causing irregular ovulation or anovulation (lack of ovulation). Disorders of the hypothalamus affecting hormone production and ovulation. Early loss of ovarian function leading to a lack of egg production. Infection of the reproductive organs that can cause scarring or blockages in the fallopian tubes.
