Dr. Zhao Xiaodong
The main causes of infertility include the following aspects:
1. Physiological factors: Such as abnormal development of reproductive organs, fallopian tube blockage, endometriosis, low sperm quality, etc.
2. Disease-related factors: Gynecological conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian failure, pelvic inflammatory disease, and uterine fibroids, as well as male conditions such as prostatitis, azoospermia, and abnormal semen quality.
3. Environmental factors: Long-term exposure to radiation, chemical substances, pesticides, and other environmental pollutants may negatively affect fertility.
4. Psychological factors: Psychological states such as high stress, anxiety, and depression may interfere with the normal functioning of the reproductive system.
5. Age-related factors: Fertility declines with age, particularly in women whose fertility begins to gradually decrease after the age of 30.
