Introduction

Infertility affects millions of couples worldwide, and women are often concerned about understanding the underlying causes. Female infertility can result from hormonal imbalances, structural issues, or other medical conditions. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving the chances of conception.

Dr. Abhilasha Mehta, a leading gynecologist and fertility specialist in Gurgaon, helps women identify causes of infertility and provides advanced fertility treatments tailored to individual needs.

What is Female Infertility?

Female infertility is the inability to conceive after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse. It may also involve recurrent miscarriages or complications in maintaining pregnancy.

 

 

Common Causes of Female Infertility

1. Ovulation Disorders

Irregular or absent ovulation is a major cause of infertility. Conditions such as PCOS or hormonal imbalances can prevent regular egg release.

2. Fallopian Tube Blockage

Blocked or damaged tubes due to infections, surgeries, or endometriosis can prevent the egg from reaching the uterus.

3. Endometriosis

Endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus can interfere with implantation and fertility.

4. Age-Related Infertility

Fertility declines significantly after 35 due to reduced egg quantity and quality.

5. Uterine or Cervical Abnormalities

Fibroids, polyps, scar tissue, or congenital abnormalities can affect implantation or pregnancy maintenance.

6. Hormonal Imbalances

Thyroid disorders, hyperprolactinemia, or adrenal issues can impact reproductive health.

7. Lifestyle Factors

Stress, obesity, poor diet, smoking, alcohol, and environmental toxins can also affect fertility.

When to Seek Help

• Inability to conceive after 12 months of trying (6 months if over 35)
• Irregular or absent periods
