Secondary infertility refers to difficulty conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to term after previously giving birth. It can have various causes, including hormonal imbalances, ovulation issues, structural problems in the reproductive system, or age-related factors. Lifestyle elements such as stress, weight changes, and certain medical conditions may also contribute to secondary infertility.

A diagnosis typically involves a review of medical history, physical exams, and tests to assess ovulation, sperm quality, and the fallopian tubes and uterus. These evaluations help identify any underlying issues that may be preventing conception or a full-term pregnancy. Depending on the findings, treatment options can range from medication to help with ovulation, to assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).
