Abstract
Infertility is a frequent problem that significantly affects people, families and communities. It is defined as the inability to conceive after twelve months of unprotected sex. Approximately one in six couples has infertility problems, which is attributed by forty percent to male factors, forty percent to female factors and twenty percent corresponding to unknown causes. Among the factors that increase the risk of infertility, it is possible to mention advanced age, tobacco consumption, diet high in saturated fats, obesity, medications and infections.
