has an absolute power to create life”. It’s a unique and wonderful experience
for both the parents. Any problem in getting pregnant can really make the

depression. Infertility has serious implications on the mental and social
health of a couple.
WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF INFERTILITY?
Infertility can be of many types, some of
them are:
·
Primary infertility – It occurs
when a woman fails to become pregnant after trying for more than 12 weeks
·
Secondary infertility – It
arises in the couple who encounters no problem in conceiving first child but
fails to conceive for the second time
·
Sub fertility- There are
couples who are unable to conceive a child together, but can produce off spring
with other people
What are the causes of infertility?
Infertility in men can occur due to genetic
defects such as DNA damage and other infections like mumps and varicocele.
Premature and retrograde ejaculation and some medications like steroids or
narcotic analgesics can cause problem in release of sperm.
Infertility in women can occur due to
hormonal disorders like polycystic ovary syndrome and other uterine or cervical
disorders. Any blockage in fallopian tubes doesn’t allow the joining of sperm
and ovum thus obstructs the fertilization process.
