Genetic Factors
There are several factors of infertility that do not relate to diseases that a female developed in her life due to infections, exposures, or other underlying conditions. In a few cases, infertility is caused due to a mix of genetic factors. These factors may be an inherited chromosome abnormality or can be a single gene defect/disorder passed from one generation to the next.
