Infertility
One in 10 American couples are infertile. Despite common beliefs, male
infertility is just as common as female infertility. There can be many reasons
as to why infertility occurs, but it does not mean a couple is never capable
of having a child. Because of drugs and other high-tech procedures, over
50% of couples that are infertile eventually are able to have a successful
pregnancy.
It is important to know that you are 10 times more likely to conceive
if you get medical help. So if you are having trouble conceiving, you should
consult Dr. Ferguson for a full medical work-up and evaluation.
Causes and
symptoms of infertility may include:
- Uterine fibroids
- Pelvic inflammatory disease
- Women over the age of 35
- Tobacco, marijuana, and other drugs
- Chemotherapy
- Painful menstrual periods
- Pelvic infection
