Infertility has become a widespread problem for women. Symptoms in general are not always noticeable, they are don’t appear as apparent health issues unless someone somehow becomes aware of it. Infertility varies and has several types with different signs and symptoms among women, and it can also affect her partner.

It is advised to see a doctor if a woman has failed countless times in the process of getting pregnant. A more acceptable case would be having unprotected intercourse for up to two years averaging to two or three times a week. In this situation a couple should schedule an appointment with their doctors to discuss possible solution to their fertility problem. When a couple is diagnosed, they are a then referred to a specialist to find medical solutions.

The most common sign of infertility is having an irregular menstrual cycle. An Irregular menstrual cycle doesn’t mean that a woman is infertile, it can be a sign of an other possible health problem. If a woman is too thin or too obese chances are that her health status can be interpreted as a sign of infertility. Being too thin can also lead to lack of the needed nutrients which can make the problem even worse. In the case of obesity, hormonal problems are a common cause that has a great potential in directly affecting a woman’s reproductive health. Unhealthy lifestyle practices like alcohol and substance abuse also cause infertility. A woman’s ability to conceive can be worsen by these factors. Basically, the overall capability of the body to work normally is greatly affected with the woman’s abuse of drugs and other substances. These women are the ones who are most likely to experience the infertility problems.

Aside from women, infertility can also affect men. It can in fact have some physical symptoms in men. Men’s most common sign of infertility is the fact that they have undescended testicles. Outside factors also play a vital role in the development of infertility for men. If a man wears tight jeans or tight underwear it could cause him the inability to produce adequate sperm. A worse factor involves the scrotum or gonad’s exposure to heat causing infertility.

In some cases, couples tend to show the same signs of the health problem. The abuse of certain substances as well as health factors can affect both the man and woman’s reproductive capabilities. The before mentioned factors can directly affect a man’s ability to produce the sufficient amount of sperm needed for reproduction and it can also make it impossible for a woman to have a child.

The first step is to absolutely make sure that infertility truly is the couple problem and the best way to take care of this issue is to take all the necessary steps during intercourse while the woman is ovulating. This can be done by using an ovulation kit to determine the woman’s body temperature. Not having intercourse at the right time can be a direct cause for infertility.
