Ovulation problems: The process of egg production is called ovulation. If women do not ovulate regularly, fertility problems occur. 10% of women are infertile due to failure to ovulate.
Uterine problems: Uterine lesions, polyps, fibroid cysts, tumors, etc. cannot hold the fetus. 5-10% of women suffer from uterine problems.
Cervical causes: If there is a wound in the cervix, the sperm cannot enter the uterus.
Fellopian tube problems: If there is a wound in the ovary or fallopian tube, the union of sperm and egg is not possible. Therefore, even if eggs are produced, reproduction does not occur.
Hyper-prolactinemia: If there is high level of prolactin hormone in the blood, egg production is disturbed.
Hormonal imbalances: Ovulation does not occur properly due to imbalance of hormones like estrogen, progesterone etc.
Antibodies to sperm: Antibodies against sperm are produced in a woman’s uterus, cervix and ovaries. These antibodies kill the sperm.
Congenital abnormalities: Due to birth defects, the structure of the vagina and uterus is not correct. As such, the uterus cannot receive sperm and hold an embryo.
Unknown causes: The reason for many women’s infertility is still unknown. Their number is 10%.
