What can cause female infertility?

  • Ovulation disorders that inhibit the normal frequency of ovulation, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hypothalamic dysfunction, premature ovarian failure, and elevated prolactin 
  • Damaged fallopian tubes due to pelvic inflammatory disease or previous abdominal or pelvic surgery. 
  • Endometriosis when tissue that normally grows in the uterus implants and grows in other locations. 
  • Uterine or cervical causes can interfere with implantations and/or increase the risk of miscarriage (e.g. benign polyps of tumors in the uterus, abnormally shaped uterus, narrowing of the cervix)
