Female Infertility Problems

What is Female Infertility Problems?
Female infertility is diagnosed when, after testing of both partners, reproductive problems have been found in the female partner,
Infertility is a widespread problem. For about one in five infertile couples the problem lies solely in the female partner (female
infertility).
The immotile-cilia syndrome is a heterogeneous disease. The dynein arms were missing totally or almost totally, and both spermatozoa
and cilia were immotile in most cases examined by us. In other cases, the ciliary axoneme displayed other defects and the spermatozoa
had motility although restricted; there was no progressive motility. Fourteen men with this syndrome were all sterile. Fifteen women
had the syndrome and twelve tried to become pregnant. This had been successful (one, one, and two children) in three cases only. Thus,
it appears that female fertility is also impaired in this syndrome, although not completely. No case of ectopic pregnancy has been
reported.
