• Age is also a risk factor for infertility.
  

Some other lifestyle habits that can cause infertility include:

• Genetic factors in both the sexes can cause recurrent spontaneous abortions or complete infertility
  

The other case of infertility is combined infertility. Both the sexes may be infertile or subfertile. Infertility arises from the combination of these two conditions.

In some other cases, the cause of infertility can be suspected as genetic or immunological. Independently the man and woman can be fertile but as a couple they can not conceive without any external assistance.

In women, the cause of infertility is mainly due to ovulation difficulties. Ovulation problems are due to irregular or non-existent menstrual cycle. Some other cause can be: uterine fibroids, birth defects within the uterus, and blocked or damaged fallopian tubes.

In men, infertility is determined based on the condition of sperm count. Men who produce no sperm suffer from a condition called as azoospermia. Men with low sperm count suffer from oligospermia. Along with these conditions malformed sperm, inactive sperm and blocked reproductive tracts can lead to male infertility. Scientists have reported that a virus called Adeno-associated virus can cause male infertility.
