    Abstract:
    Sterility is the lack of fertility, the failure to reproduce, and it is often short-term. It often occurs at puberty, before menopause, during lactation, and during gestation. 500 couples were examined, generally meeting these criteria: under 30 and married at least 2 years, or 31-35 and married at least 1 year. 64.8% were 21-30 years old and 22.2% were 31-35. Primary sterility was present in 66.6%, secondary sterility in 33.4%, and infertile couples, 4.2%. In each case, a complete 3-month study was done to determine the causes of sterility or fertility, considering vaginal, cervical, uterine, tubal, ovarian, and thyroid factors. A tubal factor was implicated in 23.3%, cervical in 20.3%, ovarian masculine in 12.1%, uterine in 6.96%, and vaginal in 8.5%. 3256 studies were done on 500 couples; 546 treatments were carried out in 319 couples; 110 pregnancies were obtained.
