What are the causes of ovary-related infertility?

Patient's question:

I recently went for a pre-marital health check-up and discovered that I have infertility. Because of this, I delayed the wedding with my husband. I wanted to get checked and treated for infertility before getting married, as I was afraid it would delay my husband's family plans. I consulted a doctor about infertility and was told that the ovaries might be the cause of the infertility.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, female ovarian infertility is a common form of infertility. If left untreated for a long time, it not only puts psychological pressure on patients but also causes certain physical harm. The main factors contributing to female infertility due to ovarian issues generally include the following: congenital absence of ovaries or immature ovaries, premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovaries, certain ovarian tumors such as granulosa-theca cell tumors or Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors, all of which can affect ovarian hormone secretion and ovulation; systemic conditions such as severe malnutrition or a diet lacking essential nutrients can also impair ovarian function and lead to infertility; chronic diseases or metabolic disorders like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or adrenal dysfunction can also cause infertility; central influences: such as endocrine imbalances between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and ovaries, pituitary tumors or scars can disrupt ovarian function and result in infertility; psychological factors such as stress or excessive anxiety can affect the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis and inhibit ovulation.
