Sterility refers to the state of being infertile or the incapacity to beget off-springs. Sterility can affect both men and women. If a woman does not conceive inspite of trying for one complete year, any one of the two partners could be sterile. A man's fertility is governed by the testicles which must produce healthy sperms to be ejaculated timely into the woman's vagina. Low sperm count, abnormal sperm motility, poor semen production, structural abnormality in sperm transporting tubes, varicose vein in the cord that connects to testicles etc may make a man sterile.

A woman's fertility is governed by the regular release of healthy eggs by ovaries. Also a woman's reproductive tract must facilitate proper passage of eggs and sperms into her fallopian tubes to be fertilized and implanted in the uterus. Fall in estrogen and progesterone levels, inflammation of fallopian tubes, inflammation of cervix etc may interfere with ovulation and a woman’s power to reproduce. Sterility may be of the following 2 types:

1. Primary sterility - In this case, conception has never taken place.

2. Secondary sterility - In this case, the couple has conceived previously; but is now unable to do so because of some fertility impairing physical or medical condition.

Age plays a crucial role in determining sterility. Both men and women are highly fertile in their mid-twenties. Fertility starts declining as one crosses 30 years of age. The factors that promote sterility in case of both men and women are stress, smoking, alcoholism, drug addiction, obesity, under-weight, dieting etc. Medical conditions like thyroid disease, diabetes, anemia etc may also make a man or woman sterile.
