What is Infertility?

Infertility is a condition of the male or female reproductive system defined by the inability to conceive after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. Infertility affects millions of people of reproductive age all over the world, affecting their families and communities. Thereby, our Cyprus IVF clinic in North Cyprus is here to assist and treat infertility in the community.

 

Infertility can be primary or secondary. Primary infertility occurs when a person has never had a pregnancy, while secondary infertility occurs when a person has had at least one past pregnancy.

 

30% of infertile women are primarily infertile, while 70% have previously had one or more pregnancies. 8-10% of women between the ages of 15-44 will have difficulty getting pregnant. These numbers can vary between different countries. It is the responsibility of the infertility specialists to diagnose and inform the patient thoroughly about their chances of conceiving. Particularly among women over the age of 35, or women who have been tested to have decreased chance of getting pregnant, should be advised of ways to speed up the process.

 

Infertility may be caused by several different factors in either the male or female reproductive systems. However, it is sometimes not possible to explain the causes of infertility.

 

Problems with the ejection system are the most common cause of infertility in men. Infertility in men is usually caused by semen ejection, sperm absence or low levels, or defective morphology (morphology) and motility (motility) of the sperm.

 

Infertility in women can be caused by a range of abnormalities of the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tubes, and endocrine system, among other things.
