Infertility is a condition where a couple is unable to become pregnant or bear a child. Pregnancy is a natural state of the female body, and difficulties in conceiving occur in any age group. But it happens that natural conception is impossible, and then the state of infertility becomes a clear problem for a couple who wants to become parents. In addition, a family that already has children may find it difficult to plan and have more children due to the mother's current condition or other problems.
