Causes Behind Infertility

Video transcription:
“The testicles of adult men produce about half a billion sperm each day. By contrast, women generally release only one egg per month. In order for fertilization and conception to occur, one of the man’s many sperm must join the single egg release in a woman’s oviduct or fallopian tube. There are many causes of infertility and often times the reason for the couple’s inability to conceive is never determined. Some known causes of the infertility in men include low sperm count or non-functioning sperm. Infertility in women can be caused by many factors. Some known causes can include failure to ovulate or blocked fallopian tubes. Severe endometriosis, a disorder where pieces of the uterus lining stray interfere to reproductive organs is also a common cause of infertility in women. Diagnosis and management by a physician may be successful in treating some couples with infertility. Some cases of infertility can be treated with medications or surgery. A physician can also discuss alternatives to natural conception, such as donor sperm, donor egg and adoption.”
