Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse. It affects both men and women and can be caused by a variety of factors. Difficulty getting pregnant is stressful for any couple. Our doctors provide counseling and guidance as well as offer basic fertility testing to help overcome some of the obstacles that couples face.

 Causes of infertility may include:

• Uterine fibroids

• Women over the age of 35

• Tobacco, marijuana, and other drugs

• Chemotherapy

• Painful menstrual periods

• Pelvic infection

• Irregular menstrual cycles and PCOS

• Male causes such as low sperm count or motility

If you are experiencing difficulty getting pregnant, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider who can diagnose and manage fertility issues. They may recommend basic fertility testing to identify any underlying causes of infertility and develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
