Female Infertility

Female infertility, defined as the inability to achieve pregnancy after 12 months of unprotected intercourse in women younger than 35 or 6 months in women 35 or older, remains a major global health concern affecting nearly 15% of couples. This activity reviews the female factors that contribute to about half of all infertility cases, stemming from ovulatory dysfunction, tubal or uterine abnormalities, endometriosis, genetic disorders, and lifestyle influences, as well as advances in diagnostic techniques, hormonal assays, imaging modalities, and assisted reproductive technologies that have improved outcomes, though disparities in access, cost, and emotional burden persist. Participants will gain an understanding of the complex etiology of infertility and evidence-based management. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance learners’ competence in identifying the physiologic mechanisms of female infertility, performing the recommended evaluation, applying individualized treatment approaches, and implementing an appropriate interprofessional approach when managing this condition to improve patient outcomes and support emotional well-being.
