Common Signs of Infertility in Men and Women
It’s common for couples to experience issues with infertility. Many of these couples have no symptoms. Until they start trying to conceive, they have no reason to think they might be infertile. Because of this, couples who have been trying to conceive for more than a year without success should consult a doctor. This time frame is reduced to six months for women over 35. Problems with infertility get worse with age.
1. Changes in sexual desire:
A man’s fertility is also linked with his hormone health. Changes in virility, often governed by hormones, could indicate issues with fertility.
2. Testicle pain or swelling:
There are a number of different conditions that can cause the testicles to hurt or swell, and many of them can cause infertility.
3. Problems maintaining erection:
A man’s ability to maintain an erection is often linked to his hormone levels. As a result, hormone levels may drop, which could make it harder to conceive.
4. Issues with ejaculation:
Similarly, an inability to ejaculate is a sign that it might be time to visit a doctor.
5. Small, firm testicles:
A man's sperm is housed in his testes, so maintaining healthy testicles is essential to male fertility. Small or firm testicles could indicate potential issues that should be explored by a medical practitioner.
1. Periods that are not consistent:
The average woman’s cycle is 28 days long. However, as long as those cycles are consistent, anything occurring within a few days of that can be considered normal. For example, a woman who has a 33-day cycle one month, a 31-day cycle the next, and a 35-day cycle after that, is probably having “normal” periods.
But a woman whose cycles vary so greatly that she can’t even begin to estimate when her period might arrive is experiencing irregular periods. This may be related to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or problems with hormones. Both of these can contribute to infertility.
2. heavy or painful periods:
Most women experience cramps with their periods. But painful periods that interfere with your daily life may be a symptom of endometriosis.
3. No periods:
It’s not uncommon for women to have an off month here and there. Your period may temporarily disappear due to things like stress or intense exercise. However, if you haven't had a period in months, you should check your fertility.
4. Changes in hormones' symptoms:
Hormone fluctuations in women may indicate potential fertility issues. Talk to your doctor if you experience the following:
skin issues, decreased sex drive , facial hair growth, thinning hair, weight gain
5. Pain during sex:
Some women have experienced painful sex their entire lives, so they’ve convinced themselves it’s normal. But it isn't. It could be related to hormone issues, to endometriosis, or to other underlying conditions that could also be contributing to infertility.
