Common Causes of Infertility

At Havya Women's Hospital, we recognize that infertility can affect both men and women. A successful conception depends on a range of factors from hormonal balance to reproductive organ health in both partners. Here’s a closer look at some common causes of infertility we diagnose and treat:

Irregular Menstrual Cycles/PCOS

A regular menstrual cycle — typically every 21 to 35 days — often indicates consistent ovulation, which is essential for natural conception. Irregular or absent periods can signal that ovulation is disrupted, often due to conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is one of the most common causes of female infertility and is typically linked to hormonal imbalances, insulin resistance, and ovarian cysts. If you’re experiencing irregular cycles, our experts can assess and manage the underlying cause with personalized treatment plans.

Blocked Fallopian Tubes

Fallopian tube blockages can prevent the egg and sperm from meeting, thereby making natural conception difficult. These blockages often result from pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, or past surgeries. In some cases, fluid-filled tubes (hydrosalpinx) can further reduce fertility. At Havya Women's Hospital, we use advanced imaging and laparoscopic techniques to diagnose and treat these issues, and may recommend assisted reproductive techniques like IVF when necessary.

Endometriosis/Chocolate cyst

Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial-like tissue grows outside the uterus, commonly affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lining. This can lead to inflammation, adhesions, painful periods, and fertility issues. Chocolate cysts, which are a form of ovarian endometriosis, can further compromise reproductive health. Our minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures provide accurate diagnosis and effective management, increasing your chances of conception.

Male Infertility Factors

Infertility is not solely a female concern — male-related factors account for nearly 40–50% of infertility cases. Common issues include:

• Low Sperm Count or Poor Motility: Fewer or sluggish sperm reduce the chances of successful fertilization.
• Abnormal Sperm Morphology: Misshapen sperm can have difficulty reaching or fertilizing the egg.
• Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum can raise testicular temperature and affect sperm production.
• Hormonal Imbalances: Low levels of testosterone or other hormones can impair sperm development.
• Lifestyle & Environmental Factors: Smoking, alcohol, obesity, stress, and exposure to toxins can impact fertility.

At Havya Women's Hospital, we conduct comprehensive male fertility evaluations including semen analysis, hormone testing, and scrotal ultrasound. Based on the diagnosis, our team guides patients toward medical, surgical, or assisted reproductive solutions.

Other Contributing Factors

Other gynecological conditions that may affect fertility include:

• Uterine Fibroids
• Endometrial Polyps
• Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
• Thyroid or Prolactin Disorders
• Autoimmune or Genetic Conditions

Each patient’s fertility journey is unique, which is why we believe in thorough evaluation and highly personalized care.
