Common Causes of Female Infertility
Infertility, or vandhyatva, can occur due to various factors that affect a woman's reproductive system. Here are some common causes:
-
Ovulation Disorders: Hormonal imbalances such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or thyroid dysfunction can disrupt regular ovulation, making it difficult to conceive.
-
Fallopian Tube Blockage: Infections or prior surgeries may lead to blocked fallopian tubes, preventing the egg from meeting the sperm.
-
Endometriosis: This condition involves the growth of uterine tissue outside the uterus, causing inflammation and scarring, which can impact fertility.
-
Age-related Factors: As women age, the quantity and quality of eggs decline, reducing the chances of natural conception.
-
Uterine Issues: Fibroids, polyps, or structural abnormalities in the uterus can hinder implantation or cause miscarriage.
-
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet, and high stress levels can negatively affect fertility.
Consulting with a fertility specialist can help in diagnosing and addressing these issues. Early intervention often increases the chances of successful conception.
