Summary

Infertility is defined as failure to conceive spontaneously in 12 months of unprotected intercourse. Approximately one out of seven couples seek medical guidance for infertility. Due to postponing childbearing, this number may increase in the future. Infertility is a disability and should be investigated properly. Factors that influence fertility should be assessed and a work-up for both men and women should be performed. This includes a semen analysis, assessment of ovulations and evaluation of tubal pathology or other diseases that could influence fertility. If results reveal that a couple cannot conceive spontaneously, they are infertile, and appropriate treatment should be offered. Idiopathic infertility means that no cause for infertility was found. In these cases, a prognosis should be predicted to evaluate whether a couple should be advised to enter a fertility treatment programme or still has sufficient chances of a spontaneous pregnancy within 6–12 months and should therefore be counselled for expectant management.

Infertility
A disease characterised by the failure to establish a clinical pregnancy after 12 months of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse or due to an impairment of a person’s capacity to reproduce either as an individual or with their partner.
Ovarian reserve
Quantity and quality of the remaining primordial follicle pool of a woman, reflecting the ability to reproduce.
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Infection of the female genital tract.
Primary infertility
The couple has never conceived before.
Salpingitis
Infection of the fallopian tubes.
Secondary infertility
The couple has conceived before, however is now faced with infertility Note: within a couple the woman or man can separately have a primary or secondary infertility, meaning that they did achieve a pregnancy in the previous relationship but not with this partner. For example, a woman can have primary infertility while her partner has secondary infertility as he had a child with a previous partner.
Subfertility
The failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. A term that should be used interchangeably with infertility, according to the International Glossary on Infertility and Fertility Care (Fertility and Sterility 2017). Although the difference between ‘infertility’ and ‘sterility’ lies in the fact that no work-up has been done yet to establish the cause and treatment possibilities, for reasons of clarity only the term ‘infertility’ is used in this chapter.
