چکیده
To cite: Wilkes S. J Fam Plann Reprod Health Care 2013;39:241–243. BACKGROUND Infertility affects one in seven couples during their lifetime and has an annual incidence of one couple per 1000 total population, which means that each general practitioner (GP) will see on average one to two couples with infertility each year. Over 80% of couples in the general population will conceive within 1 year of regular unprotected sexual intercourse (UPSI) if the woman is less than 40 years of age. Thereafter, clinical investigation should be offered. The main causes of infertility are male factor problems (30%), disorders of ovulation (25%), tubal problems (20%), unexplained infertility (25%) and uterine or peritoneal disorders (10%).
