Hormonal imbalance can also cause infertility in men, but is a less common infertility factor in men than it is in women. Hormonal imbalances are the leading cause of infertility in women, but are often treatable with lifestyle changes and medications. An irregular balance of the hormones associated with reproductive health in one or both partners can make conception and pregnancy difficult. The timing of the hormone(s) release, interactions with other hormones and ability to respond through cell receptors are also important for hormonal balance. Hormonal imbalance is an incorrect quantity of one or more hormones in the bloodstream. There are also a number of hormones that help regulate the development and release of the female reproductive cells, or egg. The human body uses 50 hormones to regulate different systems and bodily functions such as growth, metabolism and temperature regulation.
