India, March 28 -- Doctor, why are infertility cases rising today? Infertility is increasingly common due to delayed childbearing from career priorities and lifestyle choices. Factors like stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, obesity, smoking, alcohol, and long working hours negatively impact fertility. Women often face hormonal issues such as PCOS or thyroid disorders, while men may experience low sperm count or poor sperm quality. What is the ideal age for conceiving? Biologically, age between 22 to 30 is ideal for pregnancy. Fertility is higher, and pregnancy risks are lower. After 35, fertility gradually declines, and risks including miscarriage, gestational diabetes, and high blood pressure increases. With proper medical care, many women can still have healthy pregnancies beyond this age. What tests should both partners undergo before trying to conceive? Both partners should be evaluated. Women should take tests like complete blood count (CBC), blood group and Rh factor, thyroid and blood sugar tests, and infection screenings. Hormonal tests are crucial-AMH (Anti-Mullerian Hormone) assesses ovarian reserve, while FSH, LH, Prolactin, and thyroid hormones help evaluate ovulation and reproductive health. Men should have a semen analysis to check sperm count, motility, and quality. What lifestyle changes can support fertility? Maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and healthy weight is essential. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and excess caffeine. Women should also take folic acid supplements under medical guidance. Where can couples get comprehensive fertility testing? Complete diagnostic packages, including hormone panels, AMH testing, and semen analysis, helping couples take informed steps toward a safe and healthy pregnancy....
