Abstract

The primary condition that has affected humanity is female infertility. Factors such as infertility resulting from genetic disorders, stressful environments, excessive radiation, inadequate nutrition, changing lifestyles, and elevated electronic discharge have all contributed to the infertility of females. Great personal sorrow and distress are brought on by infertility and childlessness. The majority of this suffering is concealed from view. This is the reason why there isn't an open discussion of this subject. The fundamental cause of the public's lack of sympathy for childless couples is their deplorable ignorance and indifference of the causes and treatments of childlessness. There is a growing trend in the Western World to put off having children. Consequently, many couples may find it difficult to conceive as a result of age's detrimental effects on oocyte quality. Furthermore, lifestyle factors may exacerbate a couple’s difficulty in conceiving due mainly to the metabolic influence of obesity; however, the negative impacts of low peripheral body fat, excessive exercise, the increasing prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases, and smoking all have significant negative effects on fertility. Other factors that impede conception are the perceived increasing prevalence of the polycystic ovary syndrome, which is further exacerbated by obesity, and the presence of uterine fibroids and endometriosis (a progressive pelvic inflammatory disorder) which are more prevalent in older women. A tendency for an earlier sexual debut and to have more sexual partners has led to an increase in sexually transmitted diseases.
