What Causes Infertility in Women?

Female infertility can stem from various causes. Hormonal imbalances, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can disrupt regular ovulation. Structural abnormalities, such as uterine fibroids or fallopian tube blockage, can impede fertilisation or implantation. Endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, can lead to scarring and fertility challenges. Ovulatory disorders, characterised by irregular or absent ovulation, can also contribute to infertility. Age, stress, lifestyle factors, and certain medical conditions can further affect fertility. Identifying and addressing these underlying causes is vital in formulating an effective treatment plan.

What are Common Female Infertility Problems?

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

A condition of hormonal imbalance causing irregular periods and ovulation.

Endometriosis

The growth of abnormal tissue outside the uterus leading to pain and infertility.

Fallopian Tube Blockage

Obstruction in the fallopian tubes preventing fertilisation.

Ovulatory Disorders

Irregular or absent ovulation affecting fertility.

Uterine Fibroids

General Symptoms of Female Infertility

Symptoms of female infertility may manifest differently for each individual. Some women may experience irregular menstrual cycles, with periods that are longer or shorter than usual. Excessive or scanty bleeding during menstruation could also indicate fertility issues. Pelvic pain or discomfort, especially during intercourse or ovulation, may be present.

In some cases, there may be no overt symptoms, and infertility becomes apparent only when attempting to conceive. If you have been trying to conceive for a year without success or experiencing any of these symptoms, it is advisable to consult a fertility specialist for a comprehensive evaluation and guidance towards achieving parenthood.
