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.

Publication of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany

There are two different, unaffiliated companies that use the name MERCK. Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, which operates this website, uses the firm name "Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany," in the United States and Canada, and also uses "EMD Serono" in biopharma, "MilliporeSigma" in life science and "EMD Electronics" in materials business. The other company, Merck & Co., Inc. holds the rights in the trademark MERCK in the United States and Canada. Merck & Co. is not affiliated with or related to Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, which owns the MERCK trademark in all other countries of the world. To reflect such fact and to avoid any confusion, certain logos, terms and business description of the publication on this website have been substituted or modified, such as by referring to "Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany" instead of "Merck" standing alone. Publications on this webpage, therefore, slightly deviate from the otherwise identical versions accessible outside the United States and Canada. Accommodation for applicants with disabilities is available as part of the application and recruitment process. If you would like further information on accommodation, please contact HR at 855-444-5678.
