Understanding Infertility: Causes, Diagnosis & Treatment

At Rotunda Hygeia, we understand that starting or growing a family is one of life’s most cherished dreams. If you’ve been trying to conceive without success, you’re not alone. Infertility affects millions of couples worldwide — but with the right care and expertise, many go on to achieve their dream of parenthood.

What is Infertility?

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse. For women over the age of 35, evaluation and assistance are recommended after 6 months, as fertility naturally declines with age.

At Rotunda Hygeia, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care to diagnose and treat infertility in both women and men.

Common Causes of Infertility

Infertility can affect either partner or both, and may be caused by a range of factors.

In Women:

  • Ovulation problems (e.g., PCOS, premature ovarian failure)
  • Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes (due to infections, endometriosis, or prior surgery)
  • Uterine abnormalities (fibroids, polyps, scarring)
  • Age-related decline in egg quality and quantity
  • Hormonal imbalances and chronic conditions

In Men:

  • Low sperm count or poor sperm quality
  • Obstructions in the reproductive tract
  • Hormonal disorders
  • Testicular injuries, infections, or varicocele
  • Lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, obesity, or stress

When Should You See a Fertility Specialist?

You should consult our experts at Rotunda Hygeia if:

  • You’re under 35 and have been trying for over 12 months without success.
  • You’re over 35 and have been trying for over 6 months.
  • You have a known reproductive health condition (irregular periods, endometriosis, low sperm count, etc.).
  • You’ve experienced multiple miscarriages.

Early evaluation can improve your chances of successful treatment.
