What Infertility Treatments Are Suited for You?

  

According to studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 10% of the female population of the United States (15-44), totaling about 6.1 million people have difficulty conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy. While there are a growing number of sophisticated infertility treatments available, life choices and a number of other social factors with physical abnormalities contribute to an increase in cases of infertility.
   infertility treatments are not limited to women only. Both men and women may be responsible for the inability of a couple to conceive. In fact, about one third of cases are caused by exclusively male problems.
The causes of male infertility are:

    Sperm motility can be less than desirable. This condition occurs when the male sperm was abnormally or suffered injuries that damaged the reproductive system.
    Cystic fibrosis can cause infertility in men.

The presence of toxins in the environment, pesticides and lead, can cause fertility problems in men. Kidney disease, hormonal problems and mumps, are also causes of reduced fertility. Age, diseases such as cancer and the use of certain drugs can cause infertility in men.
   A woman may face difficulty conceiving, if not able to ovulate normally. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is caused by a hormonal imbalance and is the cause of the most common fertility problems in women. If the ovaries stop working normally before the woman reaches the age of 40, she is considered to suffer from primary ovarian failure or POI.
