title: Are we managing the infertile couple effectively?
abstract: The purpose of our study was to construct a management sequence allowing classification of infertile couples into specific groups according to the available treatment modalities. We achieved this by the following: a search of the existing medical literature; critical evaluation of personal experience gained by extensive practice in treating infertile couples; and perusal of methods and modalities for diagnosis and treatment of infertility available at present. We present a new concise classification of infertility, permitting efficient use of existing techniques and treatment modalities and conforming to the expectations of a modern consumer society.
