What is Infertility?
|
Not being ablr to conceive for 12 months during regular sexual intercourse without using a contraception method is called infertility. Today, every one out of seven couples are experiencing this problem.
Definitions
Primary infertility : Not experiencing a pregnancy before.
Secondary infertility : Experiencing a pregnancy before, however experiencing an infertility problem later on.
Sterility : Congenital absence of uterus in a woman or having no chance of conceivig due to some chromosomal diseases.
When should couples apply to a doctor?
If a pregnancy can not develop within a year despite regular sexual intercourse, then couples are advised to apply to a doctor. In the case of infertility, since age is an essential factor affecting success, in a 25 year old woman this period can be longer, but a woman over 35 should apply to a doctor as soon as possible. Especially women who had undergone a gynecological operation before or having a well known disease or problem detected in herself or her husband can keep this period shorter (for example 6 months).
What are the problems in couples who can not conceive?
