Female infertility is a disease in which the ability to get pregnant and give birth to a child – impaired or limited. At least 10% of women deal with infertility of some kind. The chances of being infertile increases as a woman ages.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!For heterosexual couples (man and woman), this is usually diagnosed after one year of trying to get pregnant. For heterosexual couples, one third of causes of infertility are due to a male problem, one third are due to a female problem, and one third are due to combination or unknown reasons.
As a woman ages, her chances of becoming pregnant decreases. Age is becoming a more common factor in female infertility because many couples are waiting to have children until their 30s or 40s. Women over age 35 have a higher risk of having fertility issues. The reasons for this include:
- Overall number of eggs is lower.
- More eggs have an abnormal number of chromosomes.
- An increased risk of other health conditions.
Symptoms and Causes of Female infertility
There are many possible causes of female infertility, it is not difficult to pinpoint the exact cause, some couples have “multifactorial” female infertility (multiple causes, often both male and female factors).
Some possible causes of female factor infertility can include:
Problems with the uterus:
This includes polyps, fibroids, septum or adhesions inside the cavity of the uterus. Polyps and fibroids can form on their own at any time, whereas other abnormalities (like a septum) are present at birth. Adhesions can form after a surgery like a dilation and curettage (D&C).
Problems with the fallopian tubes:
The most common cause of “tubal factor” infertility is pelvic inflammatory disease, usually caused by chlamydia and gonorrhea.
Problems with ovulation:
There are many reasons not ovulate regularly. Hormonal imbalances, a past eating disorder, substance abuse, thyroid conditions, severe stress and pituitary tumors are all examples of things that can affect ovulation.
Problems with egg number and quality:
Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have, and this supply can “run out” early 
before menopause. In addition, some eggs will have the wrong number of chromosomes and cannot fertilize or grow into a healthy fetus. Some of these chromosomal issues (such as “balanced translocation”) may affect all of the eggs. Others are random but become more common as a woman gets older.
Risk for female infertility
Many factors can increase a woman’s risk of female infertility, for example general health conditions, genetic traits, lifestyle choices and age etc. can all contribute to female infertility.
Specific factors can include:
- Age.
- Hormone issue that prevents ovulation.
- Abnormal menstrual cycle.
- Obesity.
- Anorexia or being underweight.
- Endometriosis.
- Structural problems (problems with the fallopian tubes, uterus or ovaries).
- Uterine fibroids.
- Cysts.
- Tumors.
- Autoimmune disorders for example: lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto’s disease, thyroid gland conditions).
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
- Primary Ovary Insufficiency (POI).
- Drinking.
- Smoking.
- DES syndrome (DES is a medication that was given to women to prevent complications in pregnancy like premature birth or miscarriage.
- A past ectopic (tubal) pregnancy.
Diagnosis
Ask your patient about her menstrual periods, any past pregnancies, miscarriages, pelvic pain, unusual vaginal bleeding or discharge, any surgeries, any past pelvic infections or sexually transmitted infections (STIs/STDs).
Tests required
Tests required female for infertility in physician’s clinic are:
- An overall physical exam.
- A Pap tests.
- A pelvic exam.
- A pelvic ultrasound.
- An examination of the breasts for unusual milk production.
Lab tests can include:
Blood tests
Examples of lab tests include thyroid testing, prolactin levels, tests of ovarian reserve and progesterone (a hormone produced during the menstrual cycle that signals ovulation).
X-ray hysterosalpingogram (HSG): 
A dye is injected into the cervix and the caregiver watches how the dye moves through the fallopian tube with an X-ray. This test checks for blockages.
Laparoscopy:
Laparoscope – to look at the organs.
Transvaginal ultrasound:
In this test is done by inserting an ultrasound wand into the vagina. It allows the healthcare provider a better view of organs like the uterus and ovaries.
Saline Sono hysterogram (SIS):
This test is used to look at the lining of the uterus and assess for polyps, fibroids or other structural abnormalities. Saline (water) is used to fill the uterus, allowing to get a better view of the uterine cavity during a transvaginal ultrasound.
Hysteroscopy:
A hysteroscope is inserted into the vagina and through the cervix to view the inside of the organ.
Allopathic treatment
Once we have diagnosed female infertility and pinpointed the cause, there are a variety of treatment options. The cause of the infertility guides the type of treatment. For example, structural problems may be allopathically treated through surgery, while hormonal medications can be used for other issues (ovulation issues, thyroid conditions).
Many patients will require artificial insemination (injecting washed sperm into the uterus after ovulation) or in vitro fertilization (fertilizing eggs with sperm in the lab to make embryos, then transferring the embryo into the uterus).
Homeopathic treatment for female infertility
Most forms of female infertility cannot be predicted but could be prevented easily with Homeopathic treatment. However, the risk factors that may contribute to infertility can, in some cases, be controlled to prevent this condition. For example, lifestyle modifications, such as stop alcohol consumption and quitting smoking and sniffing, may be beneficial to one’s fertility, as is maintaining a healthy weight and developing good exercise habits.

Outlook / Prognosis
The outlook (prognosis) for female infertility depends greatly on the individual and the underlying cause of infertility and the treatment method (allopathic or Homeopathic). In cases where we advise allopathic drugs to treat an ovulatory condition, or use a surgical procedure to correct a structural abnormality (polyps or solitary fibroids); In same cases Homeopathy allows us treat our patient only with oral medication and the outlook is generally very positive.
