Infertility is defined as the biological inability to conceive or contribute to conception, after having regular unprotected sex. According to the data published by the Department of Health and Human Services, approximately 10% to 15% of couples in the U.S. are infertile and have not conceived after at least one year of regular, unprotected sex.
Infertility may have a single cause in one of the partners, or it could be the result of a combination of factors. Some of the causes of infertility are ovulation disorders in women, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, use of illegal drugs, and testicular infections in men.
Risk factors associated with infertility are smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, eating disorders, over-exercising, inactivity, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), mental stress, and exposure to some chemicals. Ferring International Center S.A. is in the process of developing FE 999310, for the treatment of infertility. Some of the companies having a pipeline of infertility include CellOxess LLC, TocopheRx, and others.
