Common symptoms of Female Infertility

Infertility in women is a condition where the woman is unable to conceive despite frequent trying with unprotected intercourse for more than 12 months. Statistics show that more than 20% of the couples are unable to conceive and almost one third of them are due to female infertility.


Environmental factors such as stress, lifestyle choices, genetic inheritance of infertility causing genes, may be some of the external influencing factors. Medical causes that attribute to female infertility problems include 

  • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (one of the prime causes)

  • Endometriosis (a condition where the uterine lining grows beyond the uterus)

  • Anovulation (no egg production for more than three months)

  • Abnormalities of the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubules and the cervix

  • Damage or blockage of fallopian tubules

  • Premature ovarian failure (ovaries stop producing eggs well before menopause)

  • Hormonal variations


It is always advised to check with the doctor as soon as the below female infertility symptoms are observed. 

  • Irregular or absence of menstruation

  • Heavy periods 

  • Bleeding between periods

  • Irregular menstrual cycles

  • Pain during intercourse

  •  Decreased sex drive


Age is one of the risk factors where increasing age in a woman will increase the risk of successful conceiving and a healthy pregnancy. Early diagnosis and treatment can help address the above signs of infertility in women. 


Diagnosis includes regular monitoring of the menstrual cycle followed by certain tests to detect the exact cause of the fertility issue such as;

  • Ovarian reserve testing to check the amount of quality eggs

  • Hormone evaluation to monitor the levels of hormones such as LH, AMH, FSH, thyroid hormone.

  • Ultrasounds to evaluate the  problems/ disorders of the reproductive organs.

  • Hysteroscopy; a minimally invasive surgical procedure done to examine the condition of the uterus and the fallopian tubes.  

  • Hysterosalpingogram (HSG); an X-ray performed to detect blockages of the fallopian tubes and defects in the uterus. 

  • Laparoscopy; a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to identify various problems within the female reproductive system.

  • Genetic tests, thyroid functionality tests, prolactin, testosterone levels for PCOS, urinalysis, and blood tests are other diagnostic tests.


Sometimes the exact cause cannot be found leading to an unexplained infertility. However, once your doctor finds the exact cause of infertility, it can be addressed by the following treatment options: 

  • Fertility regulation through ovary stimulation requires hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce eggs. Less production of quality eggs, certain ovarian conditions, hormonal issues can be addressed by maintaining an hormonal equilibrium. The above procedure can be coupled with Intrauterine insemination for better fertilization outcome. 


  • Restoration of fertility through surgeries can help correct/treat various conditions causing infertility in females. 


LAPAROSCOPY: Laparoscopy involves examination and treatment of various infertility issues like endometriosis, blocked/damaged fallopian tubes, fibroids, cysts, scars, and many more.


HYSTEROSCOPY: Hysteroscopy can be done to remove polyps, fibroids, treat defects of the uterus, and many other uterine conditions


  • Assisted Reproduction Techniques (ART): ART has helped many to gain pregnancy and solved unexplained infertility  reasons as well.  In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Assisted Hatching, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) are some of the advanced ART procedures used to help women conceive.

It was in the year 1980 when the first successful pregnancy was accomplished through frozen embryo transfer (FET) after which many couples have accomplished their dream of parenthood through FET.  While the cost of embryo freezing differs in various aspects, it is important to note here that the embryo freezing cost in India is mentioned as a procedure cost and in addition, the cost for preserving is calculated on a yearly or half-yearly basis.  In a normal IVF cycle, the ovaries of a woman are stimulated for the retrieval of eggs that are fused with sperm to produce embryos.
