Reproductive Endocrinology

It is estimated that globally 15% of couples affected by Infertility, amounting to 48.5 million couples. Males are found to be solely responsible for 20-30% of infertility cases and contribute to 50% of cases overall. The problem affects around one in seven couples in the U.K, which translates as approximately 3.5 million people. When the balance of many different hormones goes wrong at any point in the body, infertility is a potential result. There are several health conditions that are specific to the endocrine (hormonal) system of the body. Hormone imbalances are not solely a female fertility problem. Male fertility will reduce if there is a problem with testosterone levels among different hormones produced by the pituitary and thyroid glands. Female infertility will result from hormone problems, physiological problems and lifestyle or environmental factors. Infertility occurs in around 12% of women in the UK. In around thirty percent of patients the cause for hyperprolactinemia is not known. Follow Endocrinology Conferences and Diabetes Conferences for more updates.
