Infertility is a disease of the reproductive system that impairs one of the body's most basic functions: the conception of children. Conception is a complicated process that depends upon many factors: on the production of healthy sperm by the man and healthy eggs by the woman; unblocked fallopian tubes that allow the sperm to reach the egg; the sperm's ability to fertilize the egg when they meet; the ability of the fertilized egg (embryo) to become implanted in the woman's uterus; and sufficient embryo quality.
Finally, for the pregnancy to continue to full term, the embryo must be healthy and the woman's hormonal environment adequate for its development. When just one of these factors is impaired, infertility can result
No one can be blamed for infertility any more than anyone is to blame for diabetes or leukemia. In rough terms, about one-third of infertility cases can be attributed to male factors, and about one-third to factors that affect women. For the remaining one-third of infertile couples, infertility is caused by a combination of problems in both partners or, in about 20 percent of cases, is unexplained.
The most common male infertility factors include azoospermia (no sperm cells are produced) and oligospermia (few sperm cells are produced). Sometimes, sperm cells are malformed or they die before they can reach the egg. In rare cases, infertility in men is caused by a genetic disease such as cystic fibrosis or a chromosomal abnormality

Wright State Physicians
Women's Health Care is staffed by skilled physicians who are faculty members in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Wright State University BoonshoftSchool of Medicine. We pride ourselves in providing the highest quality choices to assist women with their reproductive health. Our objective is to provide high quality medical and preventive health care for our patients. Our Clinical Research Program offers comprehensive gynecologic, obstetrics, and wellness care for women, and participates in clinical research studies as a privately contracted entity. Faculty members also are involved in the training of residents and medical students.
A woman’s primary gynecologist can usually successfully treat problems related to the reproductive system. Sometimes, however, difficult or persistent problems require the expertise of a sub-specialist. Thanks to research advances at Women’s Health Care and other medical centers around the world, these difficult problems can now often be treated successfully. The Women’s Health Care Fertility Program offers the latest technologies for the evaluation and treatment of infertility problems and reproductive endocrinologic problems, including problems with menstruation, menopause, premenstrual syndrome, breast discharge, excessive hair growth, and other hormonal problems that affect the reproductive tract.
