Infertility is the inability of a couple to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse. This condition affects about twenty percent (1 in 5) couples in the United States. Its escalating incidence reflects today's intentional delay in marriage and in having the first child.

Prevalence

Infertility affects approximately 10% of people of reproductive age [2], and 15% of couples. Roughly 40% of cases involve a male contribution or factor, 40% involve a female factor, and the remainder involve both sexes. [

Infertility affects approximately 15-20% of all couples. Male infertility factors contribute to approximately 50% of all infertility cases, and male infertility alone accounts for approximately one-third of all infertility cases.

Today's world is very different that the old times. There is a lot of controversy about how prevalent this is.

Infertility is a growing issue that many couples face. It effects 6.1 million American couples. (That is 10% of American couples of childbearing age).

25% of infertile couples have more than one reason that causes their infertility.

The growth of this medical problem may be due to women waiting until their mid thirties to start a family, when their reproductive possibilities are lower.
