Female infertility is caused by poor ovulation (female making egg), damage to fallopian tubes or problem with the womb (uterus) where the pregnancy grows. When damage to the fallopian tubes is diagnosed, eggs are not picked up from the ovary and contact between eggs and sperm is impossible. Treatment of choice for tubal damage is IVF.
After infertility testing, women can be treated with medications, surgery, intrauterine inseminations (IUI) or IVF.
