Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Infertility is a medical condition characterized by the inability to conceive a child or carry a pregnancy to term after a year of unprotected sexual intercourse. There can be several causes of infertility, including both male and female factors.
PCOS is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It is characterized by enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges. Women with PCOS may have irregular periods, high levels of male hormones, and difficulties in ovulation, which can contribute to infertility.
Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus, such as on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other pelvic organs. The presence of endometrial tissue in these areas can cause inflammation, scarring, and adhesions, leading to infertility by affecting the function of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus.
