More on Fertility

An estimated 1 in 6 Canadian couples of childbearing age will experience infertitlity.¹

Infertility is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a disease of the reproductive system which results in the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse.²

Infertility can affect both men and women, or a combination of both. Causes of infertility in men may include poor sperm quality, low sperm count, a history of sexually transmitted disease and a hormonal imbalance.³ Potential causes of infertility in women include age (fertility decreases after age 35), problems producing eggs, a history of sexually transmitted diseases, problems in the uterus or fallopian tubes, endometriosis, hormonal imbalances and early menopause.⁴

As a leader in the treatment of infertility, we have developed a comprehensive range of products and devices [AN1] designed to support patients through their fertility concerns.
