Backgrounds: Besides aging, there are a number of modifiable lifestyle risk factors, such as smoking, elevated consumption of caffeine and alcohol, stress, chronic exposure to environmental pollutants, hormonal imbalance and other nutritional habits exert a negative impact on a women’s fertility. The aim of present work was to study the gynecological and nutritional risk factors implicated in developing female infertility. Methodology: This cross sectional study comprised of 109 women with infertility either primary or secondary . Data were collected using a questionnaire and in face to face interviews. The questionnaire include questions about risk factors, food intake history by 24 hours recall and modified FFQ beside data on anthropometric. Data was presented as either mean ± SD or frequencies and percentages according to the natural of data. Chi-square test was used at a< 0.05. Results: Of the total samples 109 women with infertility aged between 17-40 years old shown that the peak age at 18-25 years old. The gynecological risk factors shown no significant differences. However, the obtained biochemical result revealed that abnormal high levels of estrogen, TSH, T4, LH, and testosterone, and abnormal low levels of FSH, and T3. The nutritional risk factors have been determined include low levels of serum vitamin D, and serum ferritin. In addition, women with infertility shown to have heavier body weight, overall BMI was 31.5 kg/m2 by which the majorities of women found significant obesity (P< 0.05), have high risk of waist circumferences and also WHR (P< 0.05). The result of present work found that food intake and food pattern of women have low energy intake and their dietary habits shown lack fruits and fish intake with increased junk food consumption (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The gynecological risk factors can be modified. The correct balance of energy, vitamin D and iron in the daily diet provides essential benefit for an optimal female reproductive health and reduces the risk of infertility. In this context, the association of certain risk factor to develop of infertility could be ameliorate by increase intake of balance diet or triggers can be eliminated.
