Management of female infertility

In the 21st century, infertility has become a major problem, which has a substantial impact on both the individual and social level. Infertility can have an etiology of female, male or combined origin, respectively in some cases the etiology remains unidentified, thus the infertility is idio­pathic. Lifestyle, various metabolic, endocrinological and gynecological pathologies can have a negative effect on fertility in women, causing infertility. In order to establish a correct diagnosis and apply proper treatment, a thorough history and a series of appropriate investigations are es­sen­tial. The general practitioner, being one of the first doc­tors with whom the patient comes in contact, has an in­dis­pen­sable role in recognizing this pathology, in treating it and in guiding patients to the adequate specialists.
