A Complete Guide : What Diseases Can Cause Infertility?

Here are some common diseases that can cause infertility:

Endometriosis is when the tissue lining inside the uterus grows outside it, causing inflammation and scarring. Endometriosis can cause infertility in women by blocking the fallopian tubes or affecting the quality of eggs produced.

1. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): This hormonal disorder affects women of reproductive age. PCOS can cause irregular periods, ovulation problems, and insulin resistance, leading to infertility.
2.  
3. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): STIs such as chlamydia and gonorrhea can spread through sexual contact and cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID can damage the reproductive organs and cause infertility in women.
4.  
5. Premature Ovarian Failure: This is the condition where the ovaries stop functioning before age 40, leading to early menopause and infertility.
6.  
7. Varicocele: Varicocele is the swelling of veins in the scrotum, which can affect the quality and quantity of sperm produced. It is a common cause of infertility in men.
8.  
9. Ovulation disorders are when the ovaries do not release an egg every month or when the egg is not released at the right time. This can be caused by several things, including hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and thyroid problems.
10.  
11. Fallopian tube damage: The fallopian tubes are the tubes that carry the egg from the ovary to the uterus. If the fallopian tubes are damaged or blocked, it can prevent the egg from being fertilized or the fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. This can be caused by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), endometriosis, or previous surgery.
12.  
13. Low sperm count: This is when the number of sperm in a man’s ejaculate is low. Several things, including varicocele, a blockage in the testicles, or genetic disorders, can cause this.
14.  
15. Poor sperm motility is when the sperm are not moving well enough to reach the egg.
16.  
17. Abnormal sperm morphology: This is when the sperm does not look normal. Several things, including varicocele, infections, and certain medications, can cause this.

If you are having trouble getting pregnant, seeing a specialist IVF doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions causing your infertility is important. Many treatments are available for infertility; the sooner you start treatment, the better your chances of success.

Here are some additional information about the diseases that can cause infertility:

Genetic disorders: Some genetic disorders can cause infertility. These disorders can affect the way the body produces sperm or eggs, or they can damage the reproductive organs.
