about infertility
According to the definition of the World Health Organization, infertility is a condition, when a couple does not get pregnant after one year of regular, unprotected sex. It is divided into primary and secondary:
- primary infertility – the couple has not yet conceived
- secondary infertility – the couple has already conceived in the past, either with the same or another partner, but pregnancy no longer occurs
According to European data, every sixth couple is faced with infertility.
The causes of infertility can be identified in a woman (female infertility), in a man (male infertility) or in both. When they are not detected, we speak of unexplained infertility .
