What are the causes of reduced fertility?
Decreased fertility is a complex problem with a variety of causes that are almost evenly spilt between male and female factors. Causes range from hormone imbalances that interfere with ovulation, to uterine fibroids, to endometriosis, to low sperm counts, and even high stress lifestyles. If you and your partner are becoming frustrated or concerned, our physicians are more than willing to sit down with both of you to discuss your medical history and formulate a plan of care that will hopefully identify and correct any problems. It is important to keep in mind, however, that most couples are not “infertile”, but rather are experiencing a relative decrease in their conception rates, and that this decrease is most often correctable.
