A couple’s infertility can be attributed to either the woman, the man or both. Usual causes of infertility include:
- Issues with the male partner’s sperm
- Ovulation disorders
- Cervical disorders, such as “hostile” cervical mucus
- Uterine disorders
- Tubal disorders (blockage or adhesions)
- Endometriosis
- Age
- Life style factors (smoking, alcohol, work environment)
- Unknown causes (which may represent as much as 25-30% of cases).
