Pregnancy, childbearing and becoming a family for many can be one of the most joyous times of their lives; others face sadness, fear, anxiety and stress due to infertility. Infertility affects about 7.3 million women and their partners in the U.S., and about 12 percent of the reproductive-age population. Most infertility cases, 85 to 90 percent are treated with conventional therapies, such as drug treatment or surgical repair of reproductive organs.
Infertility means not being able to become pregnant after a year of trying. If a woman keeps having miscarriages, it is also called infertility. Lots of couples have infertility problems. About a third of the time, infertility can be traced to the woman. In another third of cases, it is because of the man. The rest of the time, it is because of both partners or no cause is found.
About one in seven couples in the United States are infertile. Age, lifestyle and physical problems can all contribute to infertility. A necessary starting point for couples experiencing infertility is finding a compassionate physician that has experience dealing with the complexity of this condition.
Communication and support are two qualities that your medical professional must possess in order to effectively help you understand and deal with the medical, physical, emotional, and financial aspects of this condition. I will be happy to schedule a consultation.
