It may inhibit ovulation and because of dyspareunia there is reduced frequency of sexual intercourse. Other causes of infertility are luteinized unruptured follicular (LUF) syndrome, increased prolactin and corpus luteal phase defect, nonovulation and tubal blockage. Prostaglandin affects the tubal motility & causes corpus luteolysis too.
