Female infertility can result from ovulatory disorders such as PCOS, tubal blockage from previous infections or endometriosis, diminished ovarian reserve, uterine abnormalities such as fibroids or polyps, and unexplained infertility where investigations return normal results. In approximately 40 to 50 percent of cases, a male factor is also present or contributing, which is why both partners are evaluated before a treatment plan is made.
