Infertility can be the result of a problem with you or your partner, or a combination of factors that prevent pregnancy. Fortunately, there are many safe and effective therapies that greatly improve the chances of couples becoming pregnant. Here are some of the main causes of infertility.

At Advanced Fertility Centre Cancun we provide our patients with a diagnosis so that they can receive the appropriate fertility treatment.

The main symptom of infertility is the inability to become pregnant. There may be no other obvious symptoms. Sometimes, an infertile woman may have irregular or no menstrual periods. In some cases, such as men, they may have signs of hormonal problems, such as changes in hair growth or sexual function.

It is probably not necessary to see a health care provider for infertility unless you have been trying regularly to become pregnant for at least a year, however, you should see a doctor if you are infertile:

• Are 35 or older and have been trying to conceive for six months or more
• They are over 40 years old
• Have irregular or absent periods
• They have very painful periods
• Have known fertility problems
• Diagnosed with endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease
• Have had multiple miscarriages
• Underwent cancer treatment

If it is a man, on the other hand, a doctor should be consulted:

• Have a low sperm count or other sperm problems
• Have a history of testicular, prostate or sexual problems
• Underwent cancer treatment
• Have small testicles or swelling in the scrotum
• Have a history of infertility problems

Sometimes the problems that cause infertility in couples are present at birth and sometimes they develop later in life. They can affect one or both partners. Sometimes the cause cannot be found, but here are some of them:

• Abnormal sperm production or function
• Problems with sperm output
• Overexposure to certain environmental factors
• Cancer-related damage and its treatment
• Ovulation disorders
• Uterine or cervical abnormalities
• Fallopian tube damage or blockage
• Endometriosis
• Ovarian insufficiency
• Pelvic adhesions
