Female Infertility: Common Causes and Tests Doctors Use to Diagnose It

Female infertility can be linked to ovulation problems, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, fibroids, uterine polyps, and hormonal or genetic factors. In some cases, more than one factor may affect a person’s ability to conceive. A fertility assessment often begins with questions about menstrual cycles, previous pregnancies, medical history, medications, surgeries, and symptoms. Doctors may also check whether ovulation is occurring regularly and request blood tests to assess reproductive hormones, thyroid function, or ovarian reserve. Women who have been trying to conceive without success, have irregular or absent periods, or have a history of reproductive health concerns may benefit from speaking with a fertility specialist. Early assessment can help identify possible causes and guide the next steps for care.
