Female Infertility Causes & Treatment: What Every Woman Should Know
“Doctor, everything seems normal… then why am I still not able to conceive?”
This is one of the most regular questions women ask when they first walk into Dr. Abrol Ayurveda & Panchkarma Hospital, Amritsar. As an Ayurvedic doctor, I always tell them:
Infertility is just a health condition like any other — it’s not your fault. Few women feel guilty, stressed, and confused, as if they themselves are responsible for everything. Stress and anxiety lead to hormonal imbalance, which increases the problem of infertility.
But do not worry, Ayurveda offers holistic, natural, and safe treatments that help women to regain strength and overcome fear. It has no side effects. Through Panchkarma, herbal treatments, and lifestyle correction, we bring the body back into balance— naturally, gently, and effectively.
The real-world causes of female infertility and:
- How Ayurveda views fertility
- How Panchkarma restores hormonal balance
- Real patient stories
- And why natural healing can make a major difference in your motherhood journey.
Let’s begin.
Understanding Female Infertility – Explained Simply
Female infertility means difficulty getting pregnant after regular unprotected intercourse. This problem is very common these days. You are not alone – 1 out of every 6 couples worldwide faces infertility (WHO research).
From our hospital data and global studies:
- 40% of infertility cases are due to female factors
- 30% are due to male factors
- 10% are mixed factors
- 20% remain unexplained
Whenever I meet a patient, I explain fertility in very simple words:
“Pregnancy happens when the body is in harmony. If hormones, digestion, sleep, or the mind are disturbed, conception becomes difficult.”
Ayurveda works by restoring this harmony.
Why Infertility Happens: The Most Common Causes I See in Women
Based on thousands of cases treated at our hospital, these are the major reasons:
1. Hormonal Imbalance (35–40%)
The No. 1 reason women often come with:
- Irregular periods
- Delayed ovulation
- Mood swings
- Sudden weight gain
Hormonal Imbalance affects egg release, uterine lining, and overall cycle rhythm.
2. PCOS (25–30%)
Rising rapidly in young women. In our hospital, around 45% of young women with infertility have PCOS.
PCOS causes:
- Irregular cycles
- Acne, facial hair
- Cysts in ovaries
- Difficulty in ovulation
3. Blocked Fallopian Tubes (20–25%)
When tubes are blocked, egg and sperm cannot meet. Common reasons include infections, past surgeries, low immunity, and Vata imbalance.
4. Endometriosis (10–12%)
A painful condition where tissues grow outside the uterus, affecting implantation and causing inflammation.
5. Poor Egg Quality (15–20%)
Egg quality decreases naturally after 35 —– but today, even younger women face this due to
Poor diet
Stress
Late-night lifestyle
Hormonal disorders
6. Stress, Poor Diet, and Lifestyle (30%):
Almost 70% of my patients have high stress levels. Stress directly disturbs hormones like FSH, LH, and prolactin —– all crucial for conception.

How Ayurveda Understands Infertility
Ayurveda says infertility depends on:
Balanced Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)
Especially Vata, which governs reproduction and movement.
Strong Digestion (Agni)
Weak digestion → toxins (Ama) → hormone Imbalance
Clean Channels (Srotas)
If toxins block reproductive pathways, ovulation and implantation suffer.
Nourished Reproductive Tissue (Artava Dhatu)
Needs warmth, strength, circulation, and good nutrition.
Panchkarma helps in resetting the entire system, not just treating symptoms. I often tell my patients: “To conceive, your body needs purity, strength, emotional stability and balance. Panchkarma prepares all four.”
