Top 7 Causes of Infertility in Women Under 35

Published by Dr. JP Kaur on June 28, 2025

1. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

PCOS is one of the most common causes of infertility in younger women. It is a hormonal disorder characterized by irregular periods, excessive androgen (male hormone) levels, and small cysts in the ovaries.

How It Affects Fertility:

Irregular ovulation or no ovulation at all
Imbalanced hormone levels (LH, FSH, insulin)
Poor egg quality due to disrupted cycles

Women with PCOS may also face issues like acne, weight gain, and hair thinning. The good news is that PCOS can be managed with lifestyle changes, medications, and ovulation induction techniques.

2. Thyroid Disorders

Both hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can affect a woman’s ability to conceive. The thyroid gland plays a key role in hormonal regulation and metabolism, which are essential for a healthy reproductive system.

Common Signs:

Irregular periods
Unexplained weight changes
Fatigue or restlessness
Depression or mood swings

Untreated thyroid issues can also increase the risk of miscarriage. Thyroid function tests are part of a routine fertility workup at Dr. JP Kaur’s clinic.

3. Tubal Blockage or Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)

The fallopian tubes are essential for fertilization, allowing the egg to travel from the ovary to the uterus. If the tubes are blocked due to infection, inflammation, or past surgeries, fertilization cannot occur naturally.

Causes of Tubal Damage:

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
Untreated pelvic infections
Previous abdominal or pelvic surgeries
Endometriosis

A hysterosalpingography (HSG) test or laparoscopy can detect these blockages. Treatments may include tubal surgery or assisted reproductive techniques like IVF.

4. Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus—on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or pelvic lining. It can cause severe pain, heavy bleeding, and infertility.

How It Affects Fertility:

Scarring and adhesions on reproductive organs
Distorted pelvic anatomy
Inflammatory environment affecting egg quality
Pain during ovulation and intercourse

Laparoscopic surgery can help diagnose and treat endometriosis. Dr. JP Kaur specializes in minimally invasive laparoscopy to remove endometrial tissue and restore fertility.

5. Lifestyle and Environmental Factors

Your daily habits and environment also play a major role in reproductive health. Even if you’re young, certain lifestyle choices may interfere with your ability to conceive.

Risk Factors:

Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
Obesity or being underweight
High levels of stress
Poor sleep and nutrition
Exposure to endocrine disruptors (like BPA)

Dr. JP Kaur helps patients build a fertility-friendly lifestyle through nutritional counseling, stress reduction techniques, and routine monitoring to optimize conception chances.

6. Hormonal Imbalances

Beyond PCOS and thyroid issues, other hormonal conditions can interfere with ovulation and reproductive health. This includes elevated prolactin levels, luteal phase defect, or adrenal disorders.

Symptoms to Watch:

Spotting before periods
Breast discharge (not related to pregnancy)
Low libido or mood changes
Irregular cycles or no ovulation

Comprehensive blood tests help identify hormonal issues and guide customized treatments such as hormone therapy or ovulation induction.

At https://drjpkaur.com, hormone panels are part of every thorough infertility workup.

7. Unexplained Infertility

Sometimes, despite normal test results, a couple is unable to conceive. This is called unexplained infertility, and it accounts for up to 10–15% of infertility cases.

What Can Help:

Timed intercourse with ovulation tracking
IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
Lifestyle optimization

Dr. JP Kaur offers a structured, step-by-step approach to managing unexplained infertility using advanced diagnostics, reproductive technologies, and patient education.

When Should You See a Fertility Specialist?
