Infertility vs subfertility!

What is difference between infertility and subfertility and what are the deciding factors?

A common query all patients with fertility issues have. True infertility is when there is any of below mentioned conditions -

1. Blocked tubes/absent tubes

2. Absent follicles/eggs (menopause or premature ovarian failure-pof)

3. Absent uterus (agenesis)

4. Absent sperms (azoospermia)

In these situations, successful conception can occur only with refined art techniques and even with third party reproduction

Subfertility- 

When absolute conditions excluded as mentioned above and where there is chance (even small) of conception even without assistance

Diagnostic work up will unviel the problem and fertility specialist can help couple guide through and to the best what fits the situation.

In case you have a concern or query you can always consult a specialist & get answers to your questions!
