Patient's question:
I've been married to my husband for four years, but we've never been able to conceive a child. Both of us are generally in good health, and we've had medical check-ups, but no specific cause has been found. The doctor suggested that it might be due to excessive stress and advised us to relax, as it could help with conception. Now, another six months have passed, and there's still no news. I'm thinking of waiting until after the New Year to visit a hospital in the provincial capital.Doctor's answer:
Infertility caused by female ovarian factors accounts for approximately 15% to 25% of all infertility cases. Ovarian infertility can be caused by various factors, such as congenital absence of ovaries or immature ovaries, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovaries, systemic diseases like severe malnutrition or a diet lacking essential nutrients, all of which can affect ovarian function and lead to infertility. In addition to ovarian factors, there are also external genitalia/vaginal factors, uterine factors, cervical factors, and fallopian tube factors.
