Fertility

Fertility refers to the ability to reproduce and conceive offspring. In biological terms, it typically refers to the capacity of an organism to produce viable eggs or sperm and successfully create offspring. In humans, fertility can be influenced by various factors such as age, health, lifestyle, and genetics.

For women, fertility is often associated with ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovaries), while for men, it is tied to sperm production and quality. Factors like hormonal imbalances, medical conditions, diet, stress, and environmental factors can impact fertility.

Fertility is also commonly discussed in the context of infertility, which is the inability to conceive after trying for a certain period (usually one year for couples).
