abstract

  • (Abstracted from Hum Reprod 2023;38(9):1843–1852) Up to 25% of women experience infertility in their lifetime, with a variety of possible causes including dysfunction in the endocrine system, immune system, or reproductive anatomic structures. Research has found that infertility is associated with propensity for poor health outcomes later in life, including reproductive cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes mellitus.
