Infertility is more common than many people think, and it affects both men and women almost equally. It’s an emotional journey that can deeply impact individuals and couples trying to start or grow their families.
For women, infertility might be due to issues like hormonal imbalances, ovulation problems, blocked fallopian tubes, or conditions like endometriosis or PCOS. For men, it could be related to low sperm count, poor sperm quality, or blockages that prevent sperm delivery. But often, the cause isn't obvious right away—and that uncertainty can be tough.
What makes this journey especially hard is that fertility struggles often remain unspoken. Couples may feel isolated or even blame themselves. But the truth is, infertility is a medical issue, not a reflection of one's worth or identity.
Advances in medicine, from fertility testing to assisted reproductive technologies like IUI, IVF, and beyond, offer real hope. More importantly, compassionate care, early diagnosis, and emotional support can make a world of difference.
