Female infertility, defined as the inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse, can have various underlying causes. Understanding these potential factors is essential for diagnosing and addressing infertility issues. Here are nine possible causes of female infertility:
1. Ovulation Disorders
Irregular or absent ovulation, known as anovulation, is a common cause of female infertility. Ovulation disorders can result from hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, or ovarian dysfunction.
2. Fallopian Tube Blockage
Blockages or damage to the fallopian tubes can prevent the egg from traveling from the ovaries to the uterus for fertilization. This may result from pelvic inflammatory […]
Natural Cycle In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional IVF procedures, offering several advantages for couples struggling with infertility.

1. Minimized Medication and Side Effects
One of the primary advantages of natural cycle IVF is the avoidance or significant reduction of fertility medications used in traditional IVF. Standard IVF often requires the […]
For male cancer patients facing treatments like chemotherapy, radiation or surgeries that may impact their fertility, sperm banking presents a crucial opportunity to preserve the possibility of having biological children in the future. Here is why sperm banking is an important consideration for male cancer patients, even if starting a family is not an immediate priority.
Preservation of Fertility

A cancer diagnosis is a life-altering event, and for many female patients, it raises concerns about preserving their fertility.

Infertility is a widespread issue that affects both men and women. When it comes to male infertility, various factors can contribute to difficulties in conceiving. Understanding these causes can help individuals and couples address and manage fertility issues. Here are eight of the top causes of male infertility:
1. Sperm Abnormalities
Abnormalities in sperm production, quality, or function are a leading cause of male infertility. This can include low sperm count (oligospermia), poor sperm motility (asthenospermia), and abnormal sperm shape (teratospermia). Sperm abnormalities can make it difficult for sperm to reach and fertilize the egg. A semen analysis performed at Neway Fertility […]
Elective single embryo transfer, or eSET, is a procedure that has become more popular in recent years as more couples are choosing to have children through IVF.

Here are seven reasons to consider elective single embryo transfer:
1. Reduced Risk of Multiple Pregnancies
One of the biggest benefits of eSET is that it significantly reduces the risk of multiple pregnancies. When multiple embryos are transferred, there […]
