Fertility is a profoundly special journey for most couples. It is the ability to conceive a child. Couples feel anxious and confused when they do not get the expected results through this journey. Globally, infertility issues plague approximately 10-15% of couples due to various factors.
Understanding Fertility
Fertility depends on a healthy interaction between hormones, reproductive organs, and overall wellbeing. In women, regular ovulation, good egg quality, and open fallopian tubes play a key role. In men, sperm count, movement, and shape are crucial. While age remains one of the biggest factors—especially for women after the age of 35—lifestyle and medical conditions also have a major impact.

Common factors that affect fertility include stress, smoking, excessive alcohol, obesity, thyroid disorders, PCOS, and certain medications. Environmental exposures and long working hours may also influence reproductive health. Fortunately, many of these factors can be improved with timely intervention.

Emotional wellbeing is of outmost importance. Fertility journeys can be stressful, and support from partners, family, and professionals can help couples stay positive.

Fertility is not just about conceiving—it is about understanding your body, planning ahead, and taking proactive steps. With the right information and timely care, many couples achieve their dream of parenthood.
