Infertility
Due to delayed childbearing and the increasing amount of environmental factors harming our health nowadays, more and more people have to confront the problem of trying to become pregnant in vain.
The scientific term for this condition is infertility, describing the situation when a couple does not manage to become pregnant even though they have regular sexual intercourse for more than one year. If you are older than 35 or have a relevant medical history (endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease), it is advised to consult a specialist and start treatment if necessary already after half a year of trying. The origins and causes of unsuccessfully attempts can usually be equally attributed to the female or the male side, and in 10% of the cases it is not possible to establish the reason of infertility.
