Infertility means inability to conceive. A couple may be considered infertile if, after two years of regular sexual intercourse, without contraception, the woman does not become pregnant.

Infertility may be primary or secondary. Primary infertility is infertility in a couple who have never had a child. Secondary infertility is failure to conceive following a previous pregnancy.

Common causes of infertility of females include:
Ovulation problems
Tubal blockage
Pelvic infection
Age-related factors
Uterine problems

The treatment depends on the cause of infertility. It may be managed by medicines in some couples or there may be a need of some corrective surgery which is usually done laparoscopically and by Hysteroscopy. If these methods fail there may be a need of procedures like IUI, IVF.
