Infertility affects more than five million people of childbearing age in the United States. It can be caused by a woman's failure to ovulate or blocked fallopian tubes or a man's low sperm count, among many other factors.

Endometriosis is a disease that affects your reproductive organs and monthly menstrual cycle. Constant irritation may cause scar tissue to form. This scar tissue can cause infertility.

PID is an infection of the reproductive organs. Left untreated, it can cause severe damage to the body, including infertility.

Fallopian tubes carry a woman's eggs from her ovaries to her uterus (womb). If sperm and an egg meet in the fallopian tube, the egg is fertilized. The fertilized egg then travels to the uterus and pregnancy begins. If the fallopian tubes are blocked, fertilization can't happen. Fallopian tube catheterization helps open blocked tubes to improve a woman's chances of becoming pregnant. The procedure is done by a specially trained doctor called an interventional radiologist.
