– Causes: Hormonal imbalances, PCOS, fallopian tube damage, endometriosis, or ovulatory disorders.
Male Infertility: A male’s inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female.

Uterine Fibroids: Noncancerous growths of the uterus that can affect fertility.
– Symptoms: Heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and complications during pregnancy.
Blocked Fallopian Tubes: Tubal factor infertility due to blockages in the fallopian tubes, preventing sperm from reaching the egg.
