Common signs and symptoms of Infertility in Men

A man’s fertility is associated with the health of his hormone. Changes in masculinity, usually driven by hormones can represent the problems with fertility.

There are numerous reasons that can contribute to the pain and swelling in the testicles, and many of them can also lead to infertility.

Common Signs and Symptoms of Infertility in Women
-
1. Irregular Menstrual Cycle
28 days is the average length of a woman’s menstrual cycle. But anything falling under the few days of this period is considered to be normal until the cycle is regular. For instance, a woman having a cycle of 33 days in a month, 31 days cycle in the next, and 35 days cycle following that, is considered to be normal. However, when a woman’s cycle is so inconsistent that she does not have a track when her periods might start, this implies she is experiencing irregular menstrual cycle. This can be due to hormonal problems or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Both these reasons can be accounted for infertility in women.
-
2. Pain at the time of sex
Encountering pain during sexual intercourse also known as dyspareunia can be an indicator of underlying health issues that might impact a woman’s fertility. Such as infections, fibroids, endometriosis and so on, which can also lead to infertility.

3. Signs of hormonal fluctuations
Indicators of hormonal fluctuations in women can showcase possible issues with fertility. Therefore, consulting the gynaecologist is a must if you experience any of these follows:
- Skin problems

4. Dark or pale menstrual blood
In case you observe your menstrual blood to be paler than general, this calls for action. Generally, the menstrual blood is bright red in colour during the initial days of periods and might get darker with the passing days. Therefore, dark or old blood flowing right at the beginning of a period can also be considered to be a sign of endometriosis. Also, if a woman is experiencing some other symptoms, she should consult a doctor right away.
-
5. Heavy, long or painful periods
Certain women experience a light flow of blood for a few days, whereas others continuously experience heavy periods and painful cramps.
