Female infertility is a problem that affects many women around the world. According to the World Health Organization, about one in six couples experience difficulty conceiving.

What causes female infertility?

Female infertility is a condition that affects many women around the world. There are many causes of female infertility, but the five most common are:

  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): PCOS is a hormone imbalance that affects ovulation and can cause infertility.
  • Endometriosis: Endometriosis is a disorder in which tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside the uterus. This can cause infertility by blocking the fallopian tubes or damaging the eggs.
  • Poor egg quality: Eggs that are of poor quality are less likely to result in a successful pregnancy.
  • BLocked or damaged fallopian tubes: The fallopian tubes are responsible for carrying the egg from the ovary to the uterus. If they are blocked or damaged, it can prevent conception from occurring.
  • Myomas of the uterus: Myomas of the uterus are non-cancerous tumors that grow in the uterus. They can affect fertility by blocking the fallopian tubes or preventing implantation of the embryo.
