Female infertility has many possible causes — most of them treatable. Learn the common causes, the tests a female infertility clinic in Chennai will run, and the treatment options available.
When to See a Female Infertility Specialist
If you are under 35 and have been trying to conceive for 12 months — or over 35 and trying for 6 months — without success, it is time for a fertility evaluation. Seek help sooner if you have irregular periods, known PCOS or endometriosis, a history of pelvic infection, or previous miscarriages.
Common Causes of Female Infertility
- Ovulation disorders: PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, elevated prolactin, or premature ovarian insufficiency
- Tubal factors: Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes from infection, endometriosis, or surgery
- Endometriosis: Uterine-lining tissue growing outside the uterus, affecting eggs, tubes, and implantation
- Uterine factors: Fibroids, polyps, adhesions, or structural abnormalities
- Diminished ovarian reserve: Fewer or lower-quality eggs, often age-related
- Unexplained infertility: No identifiable cause after standard testing
Tests Your Clinic Will Run
- Hormone blood tests: AMH, FSH, LH, oestradiol, thyroid, prolactin
- Transvaginal ultrasound: Antral follicle count, ovarian cysts, fibroids, uterine lining
- Tubal patency test (HSG or SSG): Checks whether the fallopian tubes are open
- Hysteroscopy: Direct view inside the uterus if abnormalities are suspected
- Laparoscopy: For suspected endometriosis or pelvic adhesions
Your partner's semen analysis is done at the same time — infertility is a couple's diagnosis.
Treatment Options
- Ovulation induction with tablets or injections
- Surgery to remove fibroids, polyps, or endometriosis, or to repair tubes
- IUI for mild cases with open tubes
- IVF / ICSI for tubal factor, endometriosis, low reserve, or when other treatments have not worked
- Egg donation when ovarian reserve is very low
