Infertility is a complex disease and is often due to numerous factors. A woman who suspects she is infertile, must have a thorough examination by a specialist.
Infertility is divided into two categories. Primary infertility refers to women who have never had a child. Secondary infertility applies to women who have delivered at least one child. Primary infertility occurs in about 1 of 12 couples (8.3%).
