Infertility is difficult to conceive and sterility is inability to conceive and although these words are used synonymously, they are not.
Most couples who are childless and facing difficulties getting pregnant are considered infertile because they may be able to conceive with the treatments available. Only couples who have a zero pregnancy rate can be considered sterile. But even for these, there are solutions, such as medical treatments that address physiological problems or physical disability.
Know the main diseases that cause infertility in men and women.
Infertility is considered primary when the individual or couple has never had children, and secondary when they have, but can not get pregnant again. For some, this can happen due to some pelvic disease and can be easily solved.
For infertile couples there are treatments such as assisted reproduction, which uses several different methods for the couple to get pregnant. Among them we can mention In Vitro Fertilization and Ovulation Stimulation.
How do I know if I am infertile or infertile?
The couple can only be considered infertile if they do not use any contraceptive method and maintain sexual relations during 24 months, without being able to get pregnant. When this occurs you should seek a doctor to assess the couple's health in order to treat possible problems such as polycystic ovary syndrome. See the Top Causes and Treatments for Infertility in Women.
When after several examinations the doctor realizes that the couple does not have health problems, he recommends the spermogram to evaluate the quality of spermatozoa. However, in cases where sperm are not present in the semen, it may be necessary to collect sperm directly from the testis.
After 1 year of natural unsuccessful attempts to get pregnant, you should see your doctor for tests that evaluate the causes of infertility.
