Infertility Care & Support: Helping You on the Path to Parenthood in Abu Dhabi
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse (or 6 months if you’re over 35). It can be emotionally difficult, but with the right care and assessment, many couples achieve successful pregnancies.
Understanding Infertility
Infertility can affect both women and men. In women, it may be due to ovulation problems, hormonal imbalances, or conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, or blocked tubes. Male factors and unexplained infertility are also common.
How Common Is Infertility?
Infertility affects about 1 in 8 couples trying to conceive, and the number rises as women age. Many causes are treatable with proper assessment and medical support, leading to increased chances for parenthood.
Infertility: A Widespread Concern
