Infertility
Infertility is a condition seen in both women and men. Infertility, which is known as infertility in medicine, is the inability of men and women to have children naturally. Infertility, which is suspected in the case of not being able to have children despite regular sexual intercourse, can only come into question after a long period of waiting. In terms of medicine, it is possible to say that there is such a problem in men or women after at least 1 year in people under 35 years of age and after approximately six months of regular sexual intercourse in people over 35 years of age. The fact that no contraception method is applied during sexual intercourse is also of great importance for the diagnosis of the disorder.
