Pathophysiology
Male infertility
- A decrease in sperm count
- Sperm being blocked from being released
- Sperm that do not work properly
- Genetic disease such as Klienefelter syndrome, Noonan syndrome and chromosome Y deletions.
Female infertility
- A fertilized egg or embryo does not survive once it sticks to the lining of the womb (uterus).
- The fertilized egg does not attach to the lining of the uterus
- The eggs cannot move from the ovaries to the womb
- The ovaries have problems producing egg
- Hormonal imbalance such as hyperprolactinemia, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, PCOS which interfere with fertilty.
