One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

Infertility is a common condition that warrants accurate evaluation and treatment. Evaluation should be initiated after 1 year of unprotected intercourse without conception. It is appropriate to initiate an evaluation after 6 months of infertility for women over the age of 35 years or for women with a history of oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea, a partner who is known to be subfertile, or known uterine/tubal disease or endometriosis Current recommendations for evaluation are reviewed with an evidence-based approach.
