It is usually diagnosed by a thorough and detailed semen analysis. Sometimes, blood tests are also required to determine hormonal imbalances or genetic issues.

Several examinations are conducted to determine the exact cause of female infertility – hormonal testing through blood samples, ultrasound scanning, pelvic examinations and laparoscopy.

In some cases, high fertility levels of one partner can compensate for the low fertility levels of the other.

In general, infertility could be caused by genetic or lifestyle-related factors. However, a few factors are specific to male and female infertility. Lifestyle-related factors: obesity, excessive tobacco/alcohol/drug consumption, sedentary lifestyle, over-exercising and age. Factors contributing to male infertility: genetic issues, endocrine problems, hormone imbalance and testicular malformations. Factors contributing to female infertility: ovulation issues, pelvic inflammatory disease, blockage of fallopian tubes, uterine issues and endometriosis.

Thanks to the rapid advances made by medical science, a range of treatments are available today that can treat infertility at various stages. Through a combination of fertility medication and surgery, cases of infertility can definitely be converted into success stories. The rate of success can vary depending on the method of treatment used.
