The causes of infertility, a woman's concerns

Potential Causes of Infertility

Many factors can cause or contribute to reduced fertility. Fertility concerns may be attributed to an issue with the woman, the man, the couple, or their lifestyle. That’s why you and your partner should be evaluated and treated as a couple. Some causes may be easily found and treated, while others are more complex. In rare instances, no cause can be found at all.
Roughly speaking, about one-third of infertility cases may be attributable to the woman and another third to the man, while the last third either has to do with problems involving both partners or remains unexplained.
For women, infertility may be caused by a combination of many issues, including the following possibilities:
  • Health and lifestyle choices
  • Ovulation problems
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Anatomical problems
  • Genetic abnormalities
  • Serious infections
The type of treatment you receive depends on what may be causing the infertility
