What is Infertility? Explained by Iswarya Fertility Centre
Introduction
Many couples wonder why pregnancy doesn’t happen despite regular attempts. The answer often lies in infertility, a medical condition affecting the ability to conceive naturally. At Iswarya Fertility Centre, understanding infertility is the first step toward effective treatment and successful parenthood.
Definition of Infertility
Infertility is generally defined as the inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for women under 35, or after six months for women over 35. It can affect women, men, or both partners.
At Iswarya Fertility Centre, infertility is treated as a manageable medical condition, not a personal failure.
Types of Infertility: Table Overview
| Type | Description | Examples / Causes |
| Primary Infertility | Couples who have never conceived | Ovulation disorders, tubal blockage, male infertility |
| Secondary Infertility | Couples who have conceived before but cannot conceive again | Age-related fertility decline, reproductive tract issues, lifestyle factors |
| Female Infertility | Infertility due to issues in women | Hormonal imbalance, PCOS, endometriosis, tubal problems |
| Male Infertility | Infertility due to issues in men | Low sperm count, poor motility, abnormal sperm shape, hormonal problems |
| Unexplained Infertility | No clear medical cause identified | Diagnosed after normal test results; often managed with targeted treatments like IVF |
Causes of Infertility
Infertility can result from various biological, lifestyle, and medical factors:
1. Female Factors

Tubal blockages or uterine abnormalities
Age-related egg decline
2. Male Factors
