Etiology: Problems with ovulation like PCOS, damage to fallopian tubes or uterus, or problems with the cervix.
Affects the body system: It affects the body's ability to reproduce, which is the main purpose of the body system, so the system is unable to function as it is supposed to. Your reproductive organs should work as a team to nourish and protect a tiny embryo or growing fetus, and the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or uterus can be unfit for developing offspring.
Affects daily life: The inability to have children can be devastating, especially when people that you know around you have growing families. The view that you have on life changes.
Number of Americans: 6.7 million women are unable to have children and 1.5 million women are infertile
