Infertility is the inability to conceive a child after trying for a year or more. It can manifest in both men and women, and is usually caused by issues with the reproductive system. Symptoms can include irregular menstrual cycles and low sperm count. Infertility can develop gradually, with couples noticing a decrease in their ability to conceive over time, or it can be sudden. Treatment options vary depending on the cause, but can include lifestyle changes, medications, and assisted reproductive technology.
