Infertility Evaluation And Treatment
Infertility evaluation and treatment provides comprehensive care for couples experiencing difficulty conceiving. Infertility is defined as the inability to achieve pregnancy after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse, or six months for women over 35. With proper evaluation and treatment, many couples can successfully achieve pregnancy.
Modern fertility treatment involves thorough evaluation of both partners to identify the underlying causes of infertility. Treatment options range from simple lifestyle modifications and medications to advanced assisted reproductive technologies. The approach is individualized based on the specific diagnosis, age, duration of infertility, and patient preferences.

- •Age: Fertility declines with age, especially for women over 35.
- •Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol, poor nutrition, stress, environmental toxins, and excessive exercise.
