Risk factors of infertility

• Age a womans fertility starts to drop after she
  is about 32 years old, and continues doing so. A
  50-year-old man is usually less fertile than a
  man in his 20s (male fertility progressively
  drops after the age of 40).
• Smoking smoking significantly increases the risk
  of infertility in both men and women. Smoking may
  also undermine the effects of fertility
  treatment. Even when a woman gets pregnant, if
  she smokes she has a greater risk of miscarriage.
• Alcohol consumption a womans pregnancy can be
  seriously affected by any amount of alcohol
  consumption. Alcohol abuse may lower male
  fertility. Moderate alcohol consumption has not
  been shown to lower fertility in most men, but is
  thought to lower fertility in men who already
  have a low sperm count.

  countries overweight/obesity and a sedentary
  lifestyle are often found to be the principal
  causes of female infertility. An overweight man
  has a higher risk of having abnormal sperm.
• Eating disorders women who become seriously
  underweight as a result of an eating disorder may
  have fertility problems.
• Being vegan if you are a strict vegan you must
  make sure your intake of iron, folic acid, zinc
  and vitamin B-12 are adequate, otherwise your
  fertility may become affected.
• Sexually transmitted infections(STIs)

  well as making the mans scrotum become inflamed.
  Some other STIs may also cause infertility.
