Causes Of Infertility In Females

Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after trying for at least one year. It is a common problem that affects approximately 15% of couples trying to have a child. We will focus on the causes of infertility in women. There are many potential causes of infertility in women, and sometimes the cause is unknown. Here are some common causes.

1. Ovulation Disorder
Ovulation is the process of releasing an egg from the ovary. If a woman is not ovulating, she will not be able to get pregnant. Ovulation disorders can be caused by hormonal imbalances, such as high levels of prolactin or low levels of estrogen. Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition that can cause ovulation disorders.

3. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
The womb, fallopian tubes, and ovaries are all included in the upper female genital system, when infected by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) which is a sexually transmitted infection (STI). PID can scare and injure the fallopian tubes, effectively preventing an egg from entering the womb.

If the tubes are damaged or blocked, the egg cannot reach the uterus and fertilization cannot occur.

4. Fibroid
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous tumor muscle tissues in the womb. Infertility may result from uterine fibroids blocking the fallopian tubes or preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. A fetus may also be prevented from growing fully as a result of big fibroids taking up more uterine room.
