Generally,
worldwide it is estimated that one in seven couples have problems conceiving,
with the incidence similar in most countries independent of the level of the
country's development. Infertility is not always a woman's problem. Both women
and men can have problems that cause infertility. About one-third of
infertility cases are caused by women's problems. Another one third of
fertility problems are due to the man. The other cases are caused by a mixture
of male and female problems or by unknown problems.
What is Infertility?
Infertility
primarily refers to the biological inability of a person to contribute to
conception. A condition in which a couple has problems conceiving, or getting
pregnant, after one year of regular sexual intercourse without using any birth
control methods. Infertility can be caused by a problem with the man or the
woman, or both. Infertility may also refer to the state of a woman who is
unable to carry a pregnancy to full term.
Types of Infertility
There
are many types of infertility which could be summed up in the following ways:
- Primary Infertility: - Primary infertility is a term used to describe a couple that has never been able to conceive a pregnancy after a minimum of one year of attempting to do so through unprotected intercourse.
- Secondary Infertility: - Secondary infertility is usually defined as the inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term after successfully and naturally conceiving one or more children.
- Subfertility: - Infertility that is not “absolute', or “complete infertility” that is, there is a chance of pregnancy, but the chance of getting pregnant each month is reduced. A less than normal capacity for reproduction is called as subfertility.
- Male Infertility: - Male infertility refers to infertility in male humans. Being infertile has nothing to do with male sexual prowess (virility), but rather with the absence of healthy sperm in the semen that are capable of traveling to meet the ovum.
- Female Infertility: - Female infertility refers to infertility in female humans. Infertility in a couple that relates to factors associated with the woman rather than the man. For a woman to be fertile, her reproductive organs must be healthy and functional.
