Introduction :

Impossibility to create a pregnancy within a couple at a fertile age by means of normal sexual intercourse is becoming a more extended problem among the population. Having no children does not only generate anxiety, but it also affects the relationship between the couple. Despite the wide mass-media diffusion of reproduction matters these last few years, there are still a lot of questions to be answered, especially by those couples which do not achieve a pregnancy. Mainly, Why me/us? Can I/we find a solution to my/our problem?

Although infertility is not bad, the WHO (World Health Organization) has defined involuntary sterility as an illness, so it is a fundamental right to be provided a therapy to overcome an illness and to be protected from irreversible anatomical or physiological alterations. In conclusion, infertile couples have the right to be treated with all means available in reproductive medicine.

Reproductive Medicine is a recent specialty in Gynaecology which clearly aims at resolving infertility problems. If a couple does not achieve a pregnancy after a year of regular sex without birth control, it may be the time to see a doctor at a specialized centre.

Biogest is a medical centre with the latest technical and technological advances in Human Reproduction. Our staff can help you solve your problem.

Infertility is a very common condition affecting approximately 10-15% of couples of reproductive age.
In Spain there are some 600,000 infertile couples with an increase of 16,000 new cases every year.
