Infertiliitti

Infertiliitti is a Finnish term referring to infertility, a medical condition characterized by the inability to conceive after a year or more of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. It affects both men and women, and can stem from a variety of causes. In women, common factors include ovulation disorders, damage to fallopian tubes, endometriosis, and uterine abnormalities. In men, issues can arise from low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or blockages in the reproductive tract. Age is also a significant factor, with fertility generally declining in both sexes after the age of 30, and more rapidly after 35 for women.

The diagnosis of infertiliitti typically involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and a series of tests for both partners. These may include hormone level checks, ovulation tracking, semen analysis, and imaging studies of the reproductive organs. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and can range from lifestyle modifications and fertility medications to surgical interventions and assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). It is important to note that infertiliitti can have a significant emotional and psychological impact on individuals and couples, and support services are often available.
