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.
