Let’s clear up some misconceptions about infertility. This blog post seeks to debunk common myths, with help from a specialist. Much like an urgent care paramus is not a replacement for routine check-ups, don’t mistake popular opinion for medical fact. Let’s dig into the truth.
Myth 1: Infertility is a woman’s problem
Both men and women contribute to infertility. About one-third of cases are due to women, another third due to men, and the rest down to a combination of factors. So remember this is not a blame game. We are in this together.
Myth 2: Infertility means you cannot have children
Infertility does not mean you are sterile. Infertility only indicates a challenge in conceiving. With modern medical advances, there are ways to manage this challenge.
Myth 3: Age does not affect fertility
Age plays a significant role in fertility, especially for women. As women age, the number and quality of eggs decline. Men’s fertility also declines with age, but at a slower pace.
