Approximately 15-20% of reproductive age couples have difficulty conceiving or maintaining a pregnancy or stable. The general practitioner is in a unique position to elucidate the patients, make a couple's initial approach and reference them for Reproductive Medicine Centers. The author sought a simple and systematic way to approach the subject in its various perspectives. It defines the concepts of infertility and subfertility fecundability, and reviewed some concepts epidemiological, pathological and non-pathological factors of infertility. Finally we present the methodology of the investigation of infertile couple, revealing the history and physical examination as well as the interpretation of diagnostic procedures, always a practical perspective.Downloads
