Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

In the female reproductive system, infertility can stem from various causes:

1. Tubal disorders: These may include blocked fallopian tubes, often resulting from untreated sexually transmitted infections (STIs), complications of unsafe abortion, postpartum sepsis, or abdominal or pelvic surgery.

2. Uterine disorders: These can be due to inflammatory conditions (like endometriosis), congenital issues (such as a septate uterus), or benign conditions (like fibroids).

3. Ovarian disorders: Conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and other follicular issues can contribute to infertility.

4. Endocrine system disorders: Imbalances in reproductive hormones, regulated by the hypothalamus and pituitary glands, can also lead to infertility. Common disorders affecting this system include pituitary cancers and hypopituitarism. The significance of these causes may vary by country due to differences in the prevalence of STIs and the age of the population studied.

In the male reproductive system, infertility can result from the following factors:

1. Obstruction of the reproductive tract: This can lead to difficulties in ejaculating semen. Blockages in the tubes that carry semen (such as ejaculatory ducts and seminal vesicles) are often due to injuries or infections of the genital tract.
2. Hormonal disorders: Abnormalities in hormones produced by the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, and testicles, such as testosterone, can affect sperm production. Disorders causing hormonal imbalances include pituitary or testicular cancers.
3. Testicular failure: This may be due to conditions like varicoceles or medical treatments that impair sperm-producing cells, such as chemotherapy.
4. Abnormal sperm function and quality: Conditions or situations that affect the shape (morphology) and movement (motility) of sperm can negatively impact fertility. For example, the use of anabolic steroids can lead to abnormal semen parameters, including sperm count and shape.

For comprehensive details and personalized guidance, I suggest consulting an infertility specialist at your nearest hospital. This topic is extensive, and the space provided here is insufficient for a detailed explanation.

I hope this helps.
