The reasons for female infertility can be linked to changes in hormone production and as well as lifestyle changes that can impact normal body functioning. This comes in the way of a normal conception.
It impacts fertility in broadly the following ways:
- Anovulation due to which fertilisation cannot take place naturally
- Irregular menses causing ovulation delay or its occurrence ahead in time
- Hormonal imbalances causing sex hormones in women such as oestrogen and progesterone produced in either more or less quantities than required
- Growth of tissues, polyps or tumours in the reproductive system can hinder with the process of conception and pregnancy
- Problems such as blockage in fallopian tubes does not allow developed eggs to travel from the ovaries for fertilisation; structural problems in the uterus act as a barrier for sperms to reach the egg
