Overview

Infertility affects approximately 1 in 6 couples worldwide, defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of unprotected intercourse. The causes span female factors (ovulatory dysfunction, tubal blockage, endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve), male factors, and unexplained infertility. Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IVF have revolutionized treatment, but success rates remain limited—often 30-40% per cycle for women under 35, declining with age.
