Infertility is
a condition that affects approximately 1 out of every 6 couples. An infertility
diagnosis is given to a couple that has been unsuccessful in efforts to
conceive over the course of one full year (adequate cohabitation). When the cause of infertility
exists within the female partner, it is referred to as female infertility. Female infertility factors contribute to approximately 50% of all infertility cases, and female infertility alone accounts
for approximately one-third of all infertility cases.
Among women, below 35 years, conception is achieved in 60% after 6 months and 85% in one year. For women 35 years and above, only 60% in one year and 85% in two years and occurs in about 9% of married couples.
There are several factors that affects fertility treatment. It includes: age, weight, smoking (lifestyle), and other toxic agents.
