Infertility Problems

There are many causes of infertility in both men and women. However, there are more reasons why a woman can develop infertility than men, as a woman's body and fertility is more complex than a man's.

The main infertility problems are:

• Amenorrhoea (no periods)
• Anovulation (not ovulating)
• Dysmenorrhoea (painful periods)
• Endometriosis (uterus lining residue)
• High FSH levels (higher than normal levels of follicle stimulating hormone)
• Irregular menstrual cycles
• Low AMH levels (lower than normal levels of Antimullerian hormone)
• Male infertility
• Menorrhagia (very heavy periods)
• PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome - too many follicles on the ovaries)
• Premature ovarian insufficiency (a lack of good quality eggs)
• Reoccurring miscarriages
• Repeated IVF failures
• Unexplained infertility (biomedicine can't find the cause)
