Immunological and Uterine Factors in Fertility (Singapore)
In some cases, fertility may be influenced by how the body responds to pregnancy or by the structure of the uterus. These are sometimes referred to as immunological or uterine factors.
For some individuals in Singapore, these factors may only be identified during a fertility assessment, particularly when there have been difficulties conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy.
