Infertility has become a common issue among a lot of women. Generally symptoms are not noticeable unless a person is made aware of it. Infertility varies and has several types with different signs and symptoms among women, and it can also affect her partner.

If a woman fails to get pregnant several times it is advised to make an appointment with a doctor right away. Having unprotected intercourse for a period of up to 2 years and averaging this act about two to three times a week is an acceptable case. In this scenario it is advised to see an OBGYN to seek possible solutions for their fertility problem. After being diagnosed with infertility the couple is then sent to a specialist for medical treatment options.

An irregular menstrual cycle is by far the most common sign of infertility. If a woman has an irregular menstrual cycle it doesn’t necessarily make her sterile, those symptoms can be a sign of many other health problems. Being too thin or obese in relation to the woman’s overall health status is also considered as a sign of infertility. Being too thin can also lead to lack of the needed nutrients which can make the problem even worse. When a woman is obese, hormonal problems are a common cause that can potentially affect her reproductive health. Unhealthy lifestyle practices like alcohol and substance abuse also cause infertility. All these factors can worsen any health problem you have as they can directly affect the woman’s ability to conceive. Basically, the overall capability of the body to work normally is greatly affected with the woman’s abuse of drugs and other substances. These women are more susceptible to having infertility problems.

Aside from women, infertility can also affect men. Men can in fact have some physical manifestations. Having undescended testicles is the most common sign of infertility for men. In some cases, outside factors also play a vital role in developing infertility among men. If a man wears tight jeans or tight underwear it could cause him the inability to produce adequate sperm. The exposure of the scrotum to heat can cause infertility problems.

Couples in general tend to share the same signs of health problems. A couple’s reproductive capability can be affected by factors such as obesity and the abuse of certain substances. These factors can directly affect a man’s ability to produce the potent sperm needed for reproduction.

It is necessary to first make sure that infertility is indeed the problem of the couple and the best way of dealing with it is by means of taking all the necessary steps during intercourse during the woman’s ovulation period. This can be simply accomplished by finding out the body temperature through by usign an ovulation kit.
