Abstract

Being a mother, both biologically and from inner emotions, is a very special journey and the same passes to a father too but there are many reasons behind not getting success rates in getting fertile still yet to be understood. Here in this paper, we have just gone through the literature survey of infertility and some of the reasons found in both female and male are presented in brief. In some of the cases, even doctors are unable to determine the cause of infertility when the required test results in both the male and female are normal but still, infertility prevails is unable to be explained by the doctors which makes the couple to struggle for a family. The person's mind, health issues, eating habits, the rise of moods and the body response to medicines as well as lifestyles are also to be considered to understand the reason for. People see infertility as a sickness, and so the very idea makes the person get frustrated and many people get disgusted and stop talking of what to do next to get success in their problem (infertility).

Keywords: Infertility, Biological, Fertile.
