What is Female Infertility?

The female reproductive system has a complex structure. In contrast to the millions of sperm in the semen during each sexual intercourse in the male reproductive system, ovulation in the female reproductive system, i.e. egg production, produces only one egg in an average reproductive cycle of 28 days. There are hormones responsible for the production of this egg. The egg is produced in a healthy way under the influence of hormones and released into the fallopian tube. During sexual intercourse, one of the sperm coming into the fallopian tube fertilises the egg. When this fertilised structure is attached to the uterus, which thickens for pregnancy in a healthy way, a healthy pregnancy begins.

Infertility in women can be seen when there is a malfunction in any part of the female reproductive system and this malfunction continues. Some of the reasons affecting infertility in women are; obesity, hormone disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, some diseases such as vaginismus, some drugs affecting the reproductive system or side effects of drugs, smoking-alcohol use, excessive stress can cause infertility. In addition to these reasons, a genetic disorder in the female reproductive system can also cause infertility.
