Female Infertility – Overview

Female infertility refers to a woman’s inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term despite regular, unprotected intercourse for 12 months or more (or 6 months for women above 35 years). It is a common medical condition that can affect women of all ages and is often influenced by hormonal, anatomical, lifestyle, or age-related factors.

At Matritwa IVF, we believe early diagnosis and personalized treatment are key to improving fertility outcomes and helping women achieve a healthy pregnancy.

Female Infertility – Causes

Female infertility may occur due to one or multiple factors. Some of the most common causes include:

1. Ovulation Disorders

Problems with ovulation are one of the leading causes of female infertility and may include:

• Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
  
  

• Hormonal imbalances
  
  

• Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
  
  

• Premature ovarian failure
  
  

2. Fallopian Tube Problems

• Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
  
  

• Tubal infections
  
  

• Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
  
  

• Previous pelvic or abdominal surgery
  
  

3. Uterine Abnormalities

• Fibroids
  
  

• Polyps
  
  

• Congenital uterine abnormalities
  
  

• Scar tissue within the uterus (Asherman’s syndrome)
  
  

4. Endometriosis

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing inflammation, pain, and difficulty in conception.

5. Age-Related Factors

As a woman’s age increases, especially after 35 years, both the quantity and quality of eggs decline, reducing the chances of natural conception.

6. Lifestyle and Medical Factors

• Obesity or being underweight
  
  

• Thyroid disorders
  
  

• Diabetes or autoimmune conditions
  
  

• Smoking, alcohol consumption, and stress
  
  

Female Infertility – Treatment

Treatment for female infertility depends on the underlying cause, age, and overall health. At Matritwa IVF, every woman receives a personalized fertility care plan.

1. Medical and Lifestyle Management

• Hormonal medications to regulate ovulation
  
  

• Treatment of thyroid or metabolic disorders
  
  

• Weight management and nutritional counseling
  
  

• Stress management and lifestyle modification
  
  

2. Ovulation Induction

Medications are used to stimulate egg development and release in women who do not ovulate regularly.

3. Surgical Treatments

• Laparoscopy or hysteroscopy to treat fibroids, polyps, endometriosis, or adhesions
  
  

• Tubal corrective surgeries (where appropriate)
  
  

4. Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART)

When conventional treatments are not effective, advanced fertility treatments offer higher success rates:

• IUI (Intrauterine Insemination): For mild fertility issues
  
  

• IVF (In Vitro Fertilization): Eggs are fertilized outside the body and transferred into the uterus
  
  

• ICSI: Used when both male and female infertility factors are present
  
  

• Donor Egg IVF: For women with poor egg quality or ovarian failure
  
  

Diagnosis of Female Infertility

Female fertility evaluation may include:

• Hormonal blood tests
  
  

• Ultrasound scans
  
  

• Ovulation monitoring
  
  

• Hysteroscopy or laparoscopy
  
  

• Specialized fertility tests when needed
