Top 7 Causes of Female Infertility and How to Overcome Them

Infertility affects millions of couples worldwide, and in Nepal, the concern is steadily rising due to lifestyle, medical, and environmental factors. At NIHS Fertility Clinic in Kathmandu, we are committed to helping women understand and overcome fertility challenges with compassion and advanced treatment options.

In this blog, we’ll explore the top 7 causes of female infertility and how to effectively manage or treat them.

1. Ovulation Disorders

Ovulation problems are one of the most common causes of infertility in women. Conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), hormonal imbalances, and thyroid issues can prevent the release of eggs.

Solution:

• Hormonal therapy
• Ovulation-stimulating medications like Clomiphene
• Lifestyle changes (diet + exercise)

2. Fallopian Tube Blockage

Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes can prevent the sperm from reaching the egg or block the fertilized egg from reaching the uterus.

Solution:

• Laparoscopic surgery
• In vitro fertilization (IVF) if surgery is not effective

3. Endometriosis

This painful condition occurs when the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside it, affecting the ovaries and fallopian tubes.

Solution:

• Medication to reduce inflammation
• Surgical removal of endometrial tissue
• IVF for moderate to severe cases

4. Age-related Fertility Decline

Female fertility naturally declines after age 30, especially after 35, due to lower egg quality and quantity.

Solution:

• Early fertility assessment
• Egg freezing (for future family planning)
• IVF with donor eggs if needed

5. Uterine Abnormalities

Fibroids, polyps, and congenital uterine malformations can interfere with implantation or increase miscarriage risks.

Solution:

• Ultrasound and hysteroscopy for diagnosis
• Surgical correction or removal of fibroids/polyps

6. Lifestyle Factors

Poor diet, smoking, alcohol, obesity, stress, and lack of exercise can significantly affect fertility.

Solution:

• Fertility-focused lifestyle coaching
• Nutrition counseling and mental health support

7. Unexplained Infertility

In some cases, no specific cause is identified even after extensive testing.

Solution:

• Fertility treatments like IUI or IVF
• Continued monitoring and personalized care plans
