What can cause infertility in a woman?

Menstrual cycle is the indication of the health of a female reproductive system. This may get affected from various factors such as diet, mental stress, life style, lot of physical work out etc. According to Ayurveda the main causes of infertility in females are as follows- The ‘vata dosha’ is mainly responsible for causing defect in the eggs and hence many times responsible for infertility. The ‘vata’ may get imbalanced due to fear, stress, anxiety, trauma, fasting, eating cold-dry and light substances. ‘Pitta dosha’ results in scarring of the fallopian tube and inhibits descent of the ovum, thus causing infertility. Blocked fallopian tubes or thickened fallopian tubes, uterine fibroids is caused due to aggravated ‘kapha doha’ causing infertility.
