ABSTRACT
Infertility constitutes a major social and psychological burden amongst couples
especially in Sub Saharan Africa where it is estimated that female factors and
unexplained infertility generally accounts for about 40 – 90% of cases of infertility and
thus the need to review the various works done by researchers. In this review the
contributions of the different etiological factors in female infertility was examined and
attempt was made to update the available information on the management and
treatment of female infertility. The main aim of this review is to generate information
which could act as guideline in the evaluation of female infertility. From the reviewed
studies on female infertility, it is concluded that anovulation, amenorrhea are the major
causes of infertility in women why maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, prevention and
prompt treatment of sexually transmitted diseases and not pros ponding parenthood
are amongst the purported good preventive measures to tackle infertility amongst
infertile women in Cameroon
