The sad thing is that many couples either are afraid to seek a specialist's help or they believe nothing can be done. In a majority of cases, however, something can be done. During the past several decades, great strides have been made in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. Of those couples in whom a cause of infertility can be identified, more than 50 percent can be treated successfully with medical or surgical techniques. There are numerous causes of infertility.
