Overview
Disorders of ovulation make up at least 25% of the cases of infertility worldwide, according to a study done by WHO. Other pathologies such as genital tract infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis make up the bulk of female infertility cases.
Pathophysiology
Male infertility
- A decrease in sperm count[1]
- Sperm being blocked from being released
- Sperm that do not work properly
- Genetic disease such as Klienefelter syndrome, Noonan syndrome and chromosome Y deletions.
Female infertility
- A fertilized egg or embryo does not survive once it sticks to the lining of the womb (uterus).[2]
- The fertilized egg does not attach to the lining of the uterus
- The eggs cannot move from the ovaries to the womb
- The ovaries have problems producing egg
- Hormonal imbalance such as hyperprolactinemia, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, PCOS which interfere with fertilty.
