decreases. Apart from age, there are other problems that might lead to infertility:
Uterine abnormalities or Uterus Problems - A tumor or cyst in the uterus and then their surgical removal can block the entrance of the sperms into the uterus. It
may also interfere with the implantation of the sperm and can cause miscarriage.
Ovulation disorders - Release of eggs from the ovaries is called as Ovulation. Ovulation disorder is one of the main reasons for the infertility issues in women. It
includes infrequent ovulation, polycystic ovary syndrome, hypothalamic dysfunction etc.
Damage to the fallopian tubes - If the fallopian tube is either damaged or blocked, it can stop the sperm from reaching into the uterus, hence causing infertility.
- When bits of issues known as endometrium that makes up the uterus lining, start growing in other locations, it is known as Endometriosis. This tissue growth and
then the removal of it that is often done by surgery can cause a scar or blockage of the fallopian tube. This is another major cause of female infertility.
Alcohol/Drugs use - Excessive Alcohol and drug usage for a long period of time might result in infertility issues. If a woman is pregnant then the excessive use of
alcohol and Drugs might lead to the miscarriage as well.
