Infertility is a condition in which a couple fails to conceive after regular unprotected intercourse for a period of one year or more. It is a public health problem that is rising day by day not at the national but at global levels. There are different causes that lead to infertility. Some are anatomical problems that underly infertility while others are functional or endocrinal problems. All these problems are treated accordingly. But one of the most rising causes of infertility nowadays is obesity. Obesity is a leading cause of infertility both in males and females. It causes infertility in many ways, by affecting the metabolic system as well as the endocrinal system of the body. Obesity is reaching alarming conditions not only in the reproductive age but also in the teenage. There is a need to control obesity from its very beginning to avoid its devastating outcomes in the form of male and female infertility. The current review provides a look over the vicious cycle that how obesity leads to infertility and how it can be overcome.
