Abstract

Introduction

Infertility is much investigated and widely studied subject in the field of gynaecology. The reason for this lies in the innate desire of a woman to procreate.

Being labeled ‘infertile is devastating to the couple. In the words of one couple, “it feels like being sentenced for a crime you have not committed”. For the vast majority of patients infertility is totally unexpected. They look, feel and act normally and everything appears to be functioning well. Suddenly, a young and healthy couple has a medical label, a stigma thrust upon them.

Infertility is the failure of a couple to become pregnant after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse. In both men women the fertility process is complex. About 10% of couples fall in this category.
