Poor Ovarian Reserve or Diminished Ovarian Reserve is one of the prime causes of infertility in women worldwide. However, women can overcome infertility if they understand their condition, have it diagnosed and treated in time.

This condition points to a reduced number of oocytes or eggs in women of child-bearing age. It can be detected in a woman’s later years of reproductive life or in younger women due to various etiological factors.
