2. Female infertility and its causes:
Infertility is a medical condition which can be treated and both female and male suffer
from Infertility worldwide. Female infertility is not being able to conceive after having
regular unprotected sex for an year or not being able to carry the pregnancy till term and
having repeated miscarriages. Female factor accounts for approximately one third of all
infertility cases.
Causes:
Fertility declines with age as ovarian reserve starts declining in late 20s or after 30 years
and the quality of the remaining eggs is lower than younger females.
In order to become pregnant egg must be released from ovaries i.e ovulation, egg must
travel through fallopian tube to uterus, sperm must join with egg in fallopian tube and
fertilized egg must get attached to uterine wall.

3. Causative factors of female infertility can be many but the most common of them is the
ovulating factor. A woman who is not ovulating due to age, early onset of menopause or
may be releasing inferior quality of eggs will suffer from infertility. PCOS( Polycystic ovary
syndrome )in which multiple follicles are formed in the ovaries but they are not able to
release eggs results in infertility. Thyroid problems like an overactive or underactive thyroid
gland can lead to problems in ovulation due to hormonal imbalance. Lifestyle issues like
smoking, obesity, drinking, stress also affects in ovulation.
Ovary releases the egg into the fallopian tube. It is where the egg and the sperm meet and
travels to the uterus for implantation. Sometimes due to blockage in the fallopian tube the
egg released by the ovary is unable to make its way through it or preventing the sperm from
travelling towards the egg for fertilisation. The fallopian tubes might get blocked due to
reasons like PID (pelvic inflammatory disease). Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) like
Gonorrhea or Chlamydia might cause an infection in the uterus and result in PID. When a
fertilised egg gets implanted in the fallopian tube instead of uterus known as Ectopic
pregnancy can also affect the passage of the fallopian tubes. Any previous surgery
performed might cause changes in the tube and the uterus. Tuberculosis in the pelvic area is
also a known factor in the third world countries like ours. Scarring happens due to
Endometriosis which made tissues grow outside uterus and create tubal blockage. It might
also damage the lining of the uterus preventing the fertilised egg to get implanted.

4. In chronic conditions like Chemotherapy drugs or radiation given for cancer treatment
close to the reproductive area also sometimes renders a woman infertile.
In some women, Uterine factors or cervical factors also leads to infertility .Congenital defect
in the cervix might prevent sperm to travel to the fallopian tube for fertilization or uterine
malformations can lead to female infertility. Polyps, fibroids in uterus results in distortion of
uterine cavity making it difficult for implantation. Scarring or adhesions from previous
surgery or infection also can cause infertility. Cervical mucus defect is also one of the
causative factors.
In some women the tests come clean but they fail to conceive. This is known as unexplained
infertility.
Some couples are advised to go for Surrogacy in cases when the female partner is not able to
carry the child to its term and uses the service of a Surrogate mother. People opt it to get
their own child and complete the family. It is then we step in and provide you world class
facility of Surrogacy clinic in India

5. So to conclude, infertility can be treated if proper consultation and measures are taken at
the right time.
How female infertility is diagnosed?
With the development of ART, treatment of infertility has improved a lot. Various tests are
conducted to diagnose the problem.
Ovulation – A blood test is performed to understand the level of Luteinizing hormone (LH) to
know the surge of this hormone which impacts ovulation. Another test involving
Progesterone (a hormone produced after ovulation) level in the blood is also tested to
confirm ovulation.
Hysterosalpingography – A dye is injected into the uterus and x-ray is taken to detect
abnormalities. Whether the dye is spilling into the fallopian tubes is also checked.
Sometimes this procedure helps to open the fallopian tubes and improves fertility.

6. Ovarian reserve testing – A series of blood and image testing is done to assess the quality
and quantity of eggs. Tests like AMH(anti mullerian hormone) and AFC(antral follicle count)
are the best predictors of ovarian reserve. Production of eggs becomes less with age. In
women older than 35 years the egg supply gets depleted and such women generally
undergo these tests.
Imaging tests – Sometimes an ultrasonography is performed around pelvic area to rule out any
fallopian tube or uterine disease.
Other hormone testing – Hormones produced by thyroid and pituitary glands control
reproductive processes. Checking levels of these ovulatory hormones helps in indicating
infertility.
To diagnose infertility problems and depending on the situation some more tests are also
performed. They are --
Hysteroscopy – A viewing scope is used to look for any uterine or fallopian tube disease or
disorder
Laparoscopy – A minimally invasive procedure is performed through which a viewing device is
inserted to identify scarring, endometriosis or blockages. It can also detect problems of the
ovaries and uterus.

7. Genetic Testing – This test is conducted to rule out any genetic defect that might cause
infertility.
