Causes of Female Infertility
Female infertility can result from various underlying conditions that affect ovulation, reproductive anatomy, or hormonal balance. Common causes include:
- Ovulatory disorders like PCOD/PCOS
- Endometriosis – abnormal tissue growth outside the uterus
- Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
- Age-related decline in egg quantity and quality
- Thyroid or hormonal imbalances
- Uterine abnormalities such as fibroids or adhesions
- Unexplained infertility (in 15–20% of cases)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most common cause of infertility in women?
Ovulatory issues, especially PCOD, are the most common. Hormonal imbalances and age also contribute significantly.
If you're under 35 and have been trying to conceive for over a year — or over 35 and trying for more than 6 months — you should consult a specialist.
Is IVF required for all infertility cases?
No. Many patients conceive through simpler treatments like ovulation induction, IUI, or surgery. IVF is recommended only for specific complex cases.
