What is Poor Ovarian Reserve?

Poor Ovarian Reserve refers to a lower quantity and quality of eggs in a woman’s ovaries. It is often associated with diminished fertility potential and can be an indicator of approaching menopause. Despite this, many women with poor ovarian reserve can still conceive with appropriate interventions.

Causes of Poor Ovarian Reserve

Factors contributing to poor ovarian reserve include:

• Age: The most common cause, as egg quantity and quality decline naturally with age.
• Genetic Factors: Such as chromosomal abnormalities or inherited conditions.
• Medical Treatments: Exposure to chemotherapy or radiation can harm ovarian reserve.
• Surgery: Previous surgeries on the ovaries can reduce the number of viable eggs.

How Poor Ovarian Reserve Affects Fertility

A diminished ovarian reserve can lead to difficulties in conceiving naturally due to fewer eggs being available for fertilization. It may also affect the success rates of fertility treatments like IVF.
