Young women who are having difficulty getting pregnant may have the reason sitting in their medicine chest. The findings of a new study suggest That regular use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by women of childbearing age may have a negative impact on their fertility.

Women who are having problems with fertility can be facing a wide range of issues. Causes of infertility in females can include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hypothalamic dysfunction, premature ovarian insufficiency, endometriosis, damage to the fallopian tubes (from infections or surgery), benign polyps or tumors of the uterus or cervix, or uterine or cervical abnormalities. Frequently, the cause of infertility is not known.
