Infertility, affecting about 15% of couples globally, is the inability to conceive after a year of trying without birth control. Its prevalence has risen over the past 20 years due to factors like delayed childbearing, lifestyle choices, and conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis. Advances in genetic testing have also revealed underlying genetic causes of infertility, providing critical insights for targeted treatments. Infertility exerts a profound emotional toll, weighing heavily on the mind while profoundly impacting individuals and their relationships. Seeking treatment is a vital step toward healing. It increases the chances of achieving pregnancy and empowers individuals and couples to regain control, alleviate emotional stress, and rekindle hope, guiding them toward a fulfilling future, regardless of whether parenthood is the final outcome.
