Disease Description

Infertility primarily refers to the biological inability of a person to contribute to conception.

Infertility may also refer to the state of a woman who is unable to carry a pregnancy to full term. There are many biological causes of infertility, some which may be bypassed with medical intervention.

Some women are infertile because their ovaries do not mature and release eggs. Other factors that can affect a woman's chances of conceiving include being overweight or underweight, or her age as female fertility declines sharply after the age of 35. Sometimes it can be a combination of factors, and sometimes a clear cause is never established. Common causes of infertility of females include ovulation problems, tubal blockage, age-related factors, uterine problems, endometriosis.

Male infertility refers to the inability of a male to achieve a pregnancy in a fertile female. In humans it accounts for 40-50% of infertility. The main cause of male infertility is low semen quality.

Generally, worldwide it is estimated that one in seven couples have problems conceiving, with the incidence similar in most countries.
