3. Tubal factor infertility: This occurs when there is damage to the fallopian tubes, which can be caused by infections, surgery, or endometriosis.
4. Uterine factor infertility: This occurs when there are abnormalities with the uterus, such as fibroids or adhesions, which can affect the implantation of a fertilized egg.
5. Endometriosis: This condition occurs when the tissue that lines the uterus grows outside of it, which can cause scarring and damage to the reproductive organs.
