Dear Editor,
Infertility in women is defined as the inability
to conceive after a year of regular, unprotected
sexual activity 1 .While technological advancements
offer various medical interventions for
treatment, infertility can stem from issues with
ovulation, the uterus, fallopian tubes, or abdominal
factors. Sometimes, the cause remains
elusive despite thorough testing. However, infertility
isn’t solely a biological issue; adverse
childhood experiences (ACE) also play a role.
ACE encompass stressful or traumatic events
during the first 18 years of life, such as domestic
violence, substance abuse, parental mental
illness, divorce, or incarceration, which can impact
fertility beyond mere physiological factors.
