Female Infertility treatment. How can your doctor help?

What is Infertility

Infertility means not being able to get pregnant after one year of trying. If a woman is 35 or older. Women who can get pregnant but are unable to stay pregnant may also be infertile.

Pregnancy is the result of a process that has many steps. To get pregnant:
  • A woman must release an egg from one of her ovaries (ovulation).
  • The egg must go through a Fallopian tube toward the uterus (womb).
  • A man's sperm must join with (fertilize) the egg along the way.
  • The fertilized egg must attach to the inside of the uterus (implantation).
If there are any problems with any of the above steps Infertility can happen.

Female Infertility and its causes

Most cases of female infertility are caused by ovulation problems as without ovulation, there are no eggs to be fertilized. Ovulation problems are often caused by polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) which is a hormone imbalance problem Some signs that a woman is not ovulating normally include irregular or absent menstrual periods.PCOS is the most common cause of female infertility. Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is another cause of ovulation problems. POI occurs when a woman's ovaries stop working normally before she is 40.

Female infertility can also vary widely by geographic location around the world as it is usually more or less a combination of nature and nurture.

Other known causes of fertility problems in women include:

  • Blocked Fallopian tubes
