infertilityIn medicine, inability to reproduce. In women, this may be due to blockage in the Fallopian tubes, failure of ovulation, a deficiency in sex hormones, or general ill health.

Clinical investigation will reveal the cause of the infertility in about 75% of couples and assisted conception may then be appropriate. Certain bacterial infections can cause loss of mobility in sperm and therefore lead to infertility in men. Hungarian biologists estimated in 1998 that around 60% of men may have anaerobic bacteria in their reproductive systems often at levels too low to present symptoms, so treatment with broad spectrum antibiotics may help some men with infertility problems.
