No, infertility is definitely not always a woman’s problem. Both men and women can contribute to infertility.  
About 35% of couples with infertility have both a male and female factor contributing to lack of conception. Only about 8% are due to male identifiable causes.
We typically help our clients as a couple regardless of if the male or female partner has an underlying fertility issue.

Use of contraceptives, such as birth control pills, can cause hormonal imbalance in women. In modern times, it has become common for women, especially young girls, to take birth control pills to avoid pregnancy as well as to regulate irregular menstrual cycles. However, these birth control pills contain synthetic hormones that can cause damage to women’s breast tissue and changes to the uterine lining. 

Ageing causes those essential hormones to diminish and collapse, which eventually results in a decline in fertility When women are ageing, they go through two difficult processes which include perimenopause and menopause. Perimenopause is that stage that comes before menopause while a woman is still going through her regular menstrual cycle. It starts in the late 30s or early 40s and lasts up to 4 to 8 years. Symptoms of perimenopause include fatigue, difficulty sleeping, muscle and joint pain, stress, depression, and anxiety. It is suggested that a woman going through perimenopause should take blood tests to confirm the level of her hormones. When the period of perimenopause is in its last stages, conceiving may be difficult but possible. During menopause women no longer have their regular menstrual cycles as their ovaries stop releasing eggs, making them unable to reproduce. It is a normal process that every ageing woman goes through. This stage comes after a woman has been through her perimenopause. Menopause usually occurs between the ages of 45 to 50. It is suggested that women going through menopause should get their blood tested to keep a check on their hormone levels and ensure they still have viable eggs to achieve conception.
