What is Infertility?

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that affects women of reproductive age. It occurs when the ovaries produce an excess of androgens (male hormones) and small cysts develop on the ovaries. Symptoms of PCOS include irregular periods, infertility, acne, weight gain, and excess hair growth on the face and body.

Menopause

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycles. Menopause is typically diagnosed when a woman has gone 12 months without a period. Symptoms of menopause can include hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. Treatment for menopause can include hormone therapy, medications to manage symptoms, and lifestyle changes such as exercise and a healthy diet.

Thyroid disorders

Thyroid disorders refer to medical conditions that affect the thyroid gland, which is located in the neck and produces hormones that regulate the body's metabolism. Common thyroid disorders include hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), which can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, and mood changes.
