Pelvic inflammatory disease
• ABNORMAL GROWTH OF TISSUE RESEMBLING THE ENDOMETRIUM THAT IS PRESENT OUTSIDE OF THE UTERINE CAVITY. TISSUE RESPONDS TO CHANGES IN ESTROGEN AND PROGESTERONE LEVELS. THE TISSUE GROWS AND THICKENS DURING THE SECRETORY AND PROLIFERATIVE STAGES OF THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE. THE TISSUE BREAKS DOWN AND BLEEDS INTO THE SURROUNDING TISSUES DURING THE MENSTRUAL PHASE. BLEEDING INTO SURROUNDING TISSUES CAUSES PAIN AND INFLAMMATION. SCARRING, FIBROSIS, AND ADHESIONS RESULT FROM CONTINUED INFLAMMATION.

Is called what?
Polycystic ovarian syndrome
testing for infertility for males
Testing for a man often involves a semen analysis (sperm count). This is done to assess the amount of sperm, the shape of the sperm, and the way that the sperm move. Blood tests for men measure levels of male reproductive hormones. Too much or too little of these hormones can cause problems with making sperm or with having sex. In some cases, an ultrasound exam of the scrotum may be done to look for problems in the testicles.
Testing for infertility in females
Laboratory tests may include blood and urine tests. A urine test can tell when and if you ovulate. Blood tests can measure: Progesterone levels (to see if you have ovulated), Thyroid function (problems with the thyroid may cause infertility), Levels of the hormone prolactin (high levels can disrupt ovulation), Ovarian reserve (egg supply), Imaging tests and procedures may include: Ultrasound exam, Sonohysterography, Hysterosalpingography, Hysteroscopy, Laparoscopy
