Infertility
Infertility is characterized as the inability to conceive after frequent attempts over the period of one year. For men infertility occurs most often due to a low sperm count or an anatomical abnormality. Excessive alcohol consumption, heat, injury, illness, or testicular lumps may cause a low sperm count. For women the most common causes of infertility include ovulatory failure, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids. Sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia can also render a couple infertile. Stress and emotional issues may have an effect as well.
