Abstract

Vitamin D has considerable potential for the treatment of subfertility-related disorders. It affects immune responses, hormonal balance, and cellular functions essential to conception and pregnancy. Vitamin D is very helpful for disorders related to subfertility like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis since it improves ovulation, endometrial receptivity, and embryo implantation by virtue of antiinflammatory and antioxidant qualities. Vitamin D supplementation may be a safe, noninvasive method of increasing fertility and addressing subfertility issues in both men and women due to its many advantages, cost, and safety. This chapter examines the role of vitamin D deficiency in subfertility, particularly its association with PCOS, endometriosis, and outcomes in assisted reproductive technology.
