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 Boonshoft
School 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.
