Women who experience
difficulty getting pregnant after trying to conceive for one year may
have a problem with fertility. The condition of infertility affects
more than 6 million couples in the United States. As women delay pregnancy into their late 30s and 40s, the possibility of infertility increases.
Other causes of female infertility:
Hormonal imbalance
Tumor or cyst
Eating disorders
Substance abuse
Thyroid problems
Excess weight
Stress
Intense exercise
Brief menstrual cycles
Damaged reproductive organs
A physical examination can help determine what is preventing
conception. There is a wide range of options available to assist
couples in achieving a successful pregnancy: drug treatments,
behavioral modifications or surgeries.
