Infertility in women is a disease that causes women to reduce or even lose the ability to become mothers, even though they still have normal marital activities.

• Secondary Infertility: A condition in which a woman has been pregnant before but then cannot become pregnant again.

There are many causes of infertility in women, but the most common are diseases of the ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes. 

• Fallopian tube disease: Blocked fallopian tubes, inflammation of the fallopian tubes... are the direct causes of disruption in the movement of eggs to the cervix. Eggs are easily pushed out of the uterus. Because the egg cannot implant, it will also be more difficult for you to get pregnant.
• Ovarian diseases: Ovarian inflammation, ovarian cysts, polycystic ovaries… are common causes of reproductive dysfunction. If not treated in time, the quality of eggs will be affected, many eggs have no ovum or abnormal ovulation outside the menstrual period, leading to infertility.

Assisted reproductive techniques in female infertility

Assisted reproductive techniques in infertility in women have a fairly high success rate. Some of the methods commonly used today are:

• IVF : With this technique , the embryos will be combined before being inserted into the uterus.

• Intracytoplasmic sperm injection IVF/ICSI: The woman is stimulated with ovaries, then aspirated mature eggs, selecting the best quality eggs to fertilize with sperm. This technique uses only 1 sperm to inject into the ovum. After the embryogenesis stage, the embryos will be transferred always called fresh embryos or the embryos will be frozen and stored at the appropriate temperature for later use. A family with both husband and wife having fertility problems can still use this method.
• Donating eggs: Donating eggs or asking for eggs is something that no woman wants. However, in cases that cannot be treated, this is still the optimal method to help women have a baby. 
• Surrogacy: This method is often applied when a woman has cervical disease that makes the uterus lose its function, unable to function normally. Surrogacy also applies to cases where women are not healthy enough to carry their own children.
