Subfertility

Subfertility - What it is

Infertility or Subfertility refers to being unable to achieve pregnancy despite regular unprotected intercourse of more than 12 months. This issue is not uncommon, affecting up to 15% of couples worldwide.

Infertility may result from an issue with either the male or female partner, or it might be a combination of factors from both parties that prevent pregnancy. With careful evaluation, there are therapies available that can increase the chances of conceiving a child.

For female infertility, please refer to resources from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
