The term "sterility" defines the inability to become pregnant, while "infertility" refers to the inability to give birth to a live child, with further distinction based on prior conception.

⚙ AI-generated deep summary by claude@2026-06, 2026-06-08 ⓘ

The paper provides a definition of the terms “sterility” and “infertility” in reproductive medicine, distinguishing sterility as inability to become pregnant from infertility as inability to give birth to a living child. It further differentiates sterility into “secondary” (the woman in the affected couple relationship has been pregnant before) versus “primary” (the woman has never conceived). The main limitation is that the text is conceptual and does not report original data, study methods, or empirical outcomes beyond terminology clarification. Relevance to endometriosis: the corpus includes this definitional chapter alongside endometriosis-focused infertility literature, but the provided text itself does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis.
