FAQ

Can female infertility be prevented?

Most forms of female infertility cannot be predicted or prevented. However, the risk factors that may contribute to infertility can, in some cases, be controlled to prevent this condition. For example, lifestyle modifications, such as reducing alcohol consumption and quitting smoking, may be beneficial to one’s fertility, as is maintaining a healthy weight and developing good exercise habits. It’s important to regularly visit your healthcare provider and discuss any other risks you may have for female infertility.

Does stress and lifestyle factors affect fertility?

Yes, high levels of stress, poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and being overweight or underweight can all impact fertility.

Can age affect female fertility?

Yes, fertility declines with age, especially after the age of 35, due to a decrease in the number and quality of eggs.

When should I seek a doctor’s advice for my infertility?

If you are a woman in a heterosexual relationship engaging in regular sexual intercourse and experiencing consistent menstrual cycles, it is advisable to consult your doctor if you have been attempting to conceive without using contraception for 12 months (or six months if you are aged 35 or above). Additionally, it is crucial to maintain regular visits to your healthcare provider once you initiate sexual activity.
