Abstract:
Female infertility is defined as the failure to conceive after a year of frequent, unprotected sexual activity. Infertility affects 8-10% of females worldwide. There are many causes of infertility. One of them is diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). In this condition, the ovary loses its reproductive potential, which affects fertility. This condition may be caused due to injury, but it usually results from aging. DOR is one of the main reasons for infertility in women worldwide. A woman with DOR has fewer eggs in her ovaries than usual. The quality of the remaining eggs may not be bad. This condition impairs the development of existing eggs. Patients with DOR may be able to get pregnant if they are properly treated according to their profile. Their treatments are individually tailored according to their needs. These patients should be recommended a robust approach toward treatment and increasing fertility. The chances of pregnancy increase if the treatment is started early.

Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
