Causes of Female Infertility :

Ovulation Disorders: An egg disorder is a major cause of infertility in women. Ovulation disorders can cause irregular or absent ovulation. They have several causes.

• Hormonal Imbalance
• Ovarian Insufficiency
• Over-production of prolactin

Endometriosis: This condition occurs when uterine tissue grows outside the uterus. Such tissue, or a procedure for its removal, can lead to the blockage of fallopian tubes. Also, this condition can prevent the fertilized egg from implanting. This can cause infertility.

Fallopian Tube Blockage: Fallopian tubes are important to a woman's reproductive system. They transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. If these tubes get damaged or blocked, they can prevent egg fertilization. Reasons for such damage could be:

• Pelvic inflammation
• Surgery involving your abdomen or pelvis.
• Pelvic tuberculosis

Uterine Malformation: A malformed uterus can cause infertility. Doctors must examine it. It is a leading cause of female infertility.

• Polyps or benign tumors can block fallopian tubes. Furthermore, such tumors may interfere with implantation, affecting your fertility.
• Several anatomical anomalies of the uterus could also be responsible for infertility.

Repeated Miscarriages: They are a condition of two or more miscarriages. Many women have miscarriages. But repeated miscarriages may mean infertility. They should consult a specialist to find the cause.
Miscarriages can stem from:

• Uterine conditions
• Metabolic causes
• Environmental factors
• Infections
• Hormonal disorders
• Clotting disorders

Irregular Periods: Irregular periods are common and don't always affect fertility. But some hormonal imbalances can cause irregular periods. They may underlie female infertility. If you have irregular periods, consult a doctor for a solution.
