Infertility is a disorder of the male or female reproductive system described by the inability to conceive after 12 months or more of unprotected sexual activity. (1) Infertility affects millions of people worldwide who are of reproductive age, as well as their families and communities. Infertility affects 48 million couples and 186 million people worldwide, according to estimates. Infertility in men is most usually caused by issues with semen ejection (1), sperm absence or low levels, or defective morphology (morphology) and motility (motility) of the sperm. Infertility in women can be caused by a variety of problems with the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, and endocrine system, among other things. Primary or secondary infertility exists. Primary infertility occurs when a person has never had a pregnancy, while secondary infertility occurs when a person has had at least one past pregnancy. Fertility care includes infertility prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. In most nations, particularly in low and middle-income countries, equal and fair access to fertility care remains a concern. In national universal health coverage benefit packages, fertility care is rarely prioritised.
