Female infertility is defined as a woman’s inability to conceive after one year of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. It can also refer to the inability to carry a pregnancy to full term. Fertility is influenced by a complex interaction of age, lifestyle factors, and underlying health conditions.
The primary sign of infertility is the inability to get pregnant. However, specific symptoms related to the underlying causes may include:
Menstrual Changes: Irregular, absent, or abnormally heavy/painful periods.
Hormonal Indicators: Unexplained weight gain, skin changes (acne), or thinning hair.
Pain: Pelvic pain or pain during intercourse, which may indicate endometriosis or structural issues.
Ovulation Signs: A lack of regular changes in basal body temperature or cervical mucus.
