Infertility
Infertility is the difficulty in achieving a pregnancy after a prolonged period of sexual intercourse without contraceptive methods. It can involve one or both partners.
Common causes: Contributing factors include hormonal imbalances, ovulation problems, blocked tubes, endometriosis, or changes in semen quality. Age and certain habits also play a role.
When is it worth seeking care? If pregnancy has not been achieved after a reasonable period of trying, it is worth having both partners evaluated to identify possible causes.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist and the obstetrician-gynecologist are usually the first point of contact; in specific cases, the endocrinologist or the urologist gets involved. The most helpful step is to schedule an appointment to review the case in a personalized way and discuss the available options.
