Résumé

L’infertilité peut être considérée comme une maladie multifactorielle qui touche aujourd’hui plus de 15% des couples. Dans un tiers des cas, une cause purement féminine est retrouvée, dans 21% des cas une cause uniquement masculine, et une cause à la fois féminine et masculine est objectivée dans 39% des cas. Enfin, dans 7% des cas, aucune cause n’est trouvée (infertilité inexpliquée dite idiopathique) (1).
