Fertility, or the ability of a person to procreate or create an offspring, has been a subject of great importance throughout time for a long time, a woman's worth and value in society was measured by her ability to bear children. Monarchies relied on the ability of the royal line to continue, and societal expectations aside, infertility can be a devastating diagnosis to a person, but until diagnosis, many people don't know what fertility truly means or how it can occur. Today, we'll review the pathophysiology, common symptoms, diagnosis, and available treatment options. This course is a collaboration between AAPA and the Association of Physician Associates in Obstetrics and Gynecology (APAOG).
