PY - 2020 T2 - Williams Gynecology, 4e AB - Infertility results from diseases of the reproductive system that impair the body’s ability to perform basic reproductive function. It is defined as the failure to achieve a successful pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected intercourse. Earlier evaluation and treatment may be justified based on medical history and physical findings and is warranted after 6 months for women older than 35 (American Society for Reproductive Medicine, 2015a). Ten to 15 percent of the reproductive-aged population is infertile, and men and women are equally affected.
