Infertility is a disease of the reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse.
Most common diseases
Ovarian Cyst
The context of the infertility is essential, and surgeons and specialists in reproductive medicine should decide management jointly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Because ovarian cysts are commonly found in young women, many infertile women will also be noted to have ovarian cysts. [drmalpani.com]
A total of 3250 primary infertile patients were administered CC for ovulation induction because of ovulatory dysfunction and/or unexplained infertility. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Sexually Transmitted Disease
[…] transmitted pathogen implicated in urethritis in men and several inflammatory reproductive tract syndromes in women including cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and infertility [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Each year, untreated STDs cause at least 24,000 women in the U.S. to become infertile. [web.archive.org]
[…] and tubal factor infertility [60]. [dx.doi.org]
Hypogonadism
A similar classification has not yet been applied to the infertile population. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[…] testes had higher mean Luteinizing Hormone levels (p CONCLUSION: Latent, rarely decompensated hypogonadism is a potential long-term consequence of undescended testes, besides infertility [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Infertility models were additionally adjusted for baseline infertility. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Women without a diagnosis of infertility served as a control group and were matched with the infertility cases by age ( 3 years) and index year. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
“Infertility” is a term used to describe the inability of a couple to get pregnant or the inability of a woman to carry a pregnancy to term. [nichd.nih.gov]
It is unclear whether the process is more effective than medications for treating PCOS infertility. [web.archive.org]
The polycystic ovary syndrome is a common cause of infertility. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Urethritis
A secondary outcome measure was cost per major outcome averted, where a major outcome is a case of symptomatic PID, ectopic pregnancy, or infertility. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility are possible consequences for female sexual partners. [academic.sun.ac.za]
[…] cases spread of the infection to a female partner who may develop pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), which can cause infertility. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
Salpingitis
Abstract Excised tubal segments from 94 infertile women with tubal obstruction, with a mean infertility duration of 5.3 years, and 40 women with ectopic tubal pregnancy were [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This article will highlight recent research into tubal factor infertility as one of the main causes of involuntary childlessness in women. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
DESIGN: Forty-two women with acute salpingitis (group A), 131 women with tubal factor infertility (group B), and 98 pregnant women (control group C) were studied. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Chlamydia Infection
(Conclusion) There was a high prevalence (24.1%) of serum IgA and/or IgG-antibodies against C. trachomatis from infertility patients. [doi.org]
OBJECTIVE: To summarise evidence on the attributable risk of infertility after chlamydial infection in women. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Complete ascertainment of infertility is not possible because it depends on women presenting for investigation. [doi.org]
Vaginitis
Because of the poor recognition of AV, this condition can lead to treatment failures and is associated with severe complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Higher chance of getting other STDs, causing possible infertility issues. [completewomencare.com]
[…] getting a sexually transmitted infection such as chlamydia or HIV; pelvic inflammatory disease; or pregnancy-related risks, including premature delivery, low birth weight, and infertility [clpmag.com]
Endometriosis
About 25 to 50% of infertile women have endometriosis, and 30 to 50% of women with endometriosis are infertile [ 4 ]. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Typically, endometriosis causes pain and infertility, although 20–25% of patients are asymptomatic. [doi.org]
Endometriosis and infertility The relationship between endometriosis and infertility has been debated for many years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
