If the woman is older than 35 years then this period should not exceed 6 months for reasons that will be analysed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nowadays, infertility unfortunately is a common problem; as more than one in six couples have some infertility issue. It is also very important to understand that fertility is like a mathematical equation, and should be defined as the sum of female fertility and male fertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Couple\u2019s Fertility = Female Fertility + Male Fertility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So if for example, a couple consists of a fertile man and a slightly infertile woman, most likely we will never see this couple in our office as they will naturally manage to have children. On the other hand though, if a slightly infertile man chooses a slightly infertile woman to reproduce his species, they are more likely to have difficulty conceiving and addressing assisted reproduction methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, in 80% of infertility cases, either the male or the female factor is responsible, and in the remaining 15-20% of cases, both parties are responsible at the same time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"663\" height=\"603\" src=\"https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/General-causes-of-infertility-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/General-causes-of-infertility-1.jpg 663w, https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/General-causes-of-infertility-1-300x273.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/General-causes-of-infertility-1-370x337.jpg 370w, https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/General-causes-of-infertility-1-410x373.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 663px) 100vw, 663px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But let us take a closer look at all the most common obstacles that may cause infertility<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Problems with eggs<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Problems with sperm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Problems with the path<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Endometriosis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Multiple insignificant infertility factors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Uterine reception issues<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As infertility we describe the situation in which a couple experiences repetitive failure to conceive, after intercourse with sufficient frequency in each cycle, meaning more than 10 times per month,&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"both","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":301,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[312,334],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26067","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-infertility","category-causes-of-infertility"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26067"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26067\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26070,"href":"https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26067\/revisions\/26070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/drsfakianoudis.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
