How can hormones be used to treat infertile women?

The most common causes of infertility in women are

• ovulation disorder
• blocked fallopian tubes, and
• age.

The infertility in women is treated by administering clomiphene injections which will allow them to ovulate after a menstrual period, if this does not work even with increased concentrations ( up to a certain level), they go for Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) injections coupled with Intra uterine inseminatin (IUI) . This reasults in hyperstimulation of ovaries leading to multiple ovulation and hence increases the chance of twins or triplets.
