What are common causes of female fertility complications?
Several factors can contribute to female fertility complications, including:
Ovulation disorders: Conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hypothalamic dysfunction can disrupt the regular release of eggs from the ovaries. Tubal factors: Blockages or damage to the fallopian tubes, often due to infections like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or surgeries, can prevent sperm from reaching the egg. Endometriosis: This condition involves the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterus, causing inflammation and scar tissue that can affect fertility. Uterine or cervical abnormalities: Fibroids, polyps, or structural abnormalities can interfere with implantation or increase the risk of miscarriage. Age: As women age, the quantity and quality of their eggs decline, making conception more challenging.
