In about 40% of cases disorders are found in both the man and the woman. Uterine or endometrial factors, gamete or embryo defects, and pelvic conditions such as endometriosis may also play a role.

Given the range of causes of fertility problems, the provision of appropriate investigations is critical. These investigations include semen analysis; assessment of ovulation, tubal damage and uterine abnormalities; and screening for infections such as Chlamydia trachomatis and susceptibility to rubella.
Once a diagnosis has been established, treatment falls into 3 main types:
​
-
Medical treatment to restore fertility (for example, the use of drugs for ovulation induction).
-
Surgical treatment to restore fertility (for example, laparoscopy for ablation of endometriosis).
-
Assisted Reproduction Techniques (ART): any treatment that deals with means of conception other than vaginal intercourse such as IUI or IVF. It frequently involves the handling of gametes or embryos.
The main causes of infertility are (per cent figures indicate approximate prevalence):

Intraurine Insemination (IUI) Package
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a fertility procedure that involves inserting sperm within the uterus of a woman to promote fertilisation. The aim of the IUI is to increase the amount of sperm that enter the fallopian tubes and, consequently, to increase the chances of fertilisation. IUI gives the sperm an advantage by giving it a head start, but it also allows thesperm to penetrate and fertilise the egg on its own. This is a less invasive and less costly choice compared to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
