(HealthDay News) — Infertility affects about 1 in 10 couples that are trying to have a baby, the U.S. National Institutes of Health says.
Advancing age is a prime cause of infertility, but there are other factors that are more under a person’s control, the agency says, including:

    • Alcohol consumption.
    • Smoking.
    • Environmental toxins, including pesticides and lead.
    • Certain medicines.
    • Radiation treatment and chemotherapy.
    • Stress.
    • Poor diet.
    • Being overweight.
    • Sexually transmitted infections.
