Also, it can be determined if the infertility is temporary or permanent. Once the cause is found, a personalized treatment can be initiated. If necessary, an artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization (IVF) will be carried out. It is important to be clear that infertility and sterility, although they are used colloquially as synonyms to designate the inability to have offspring, do not have the same meaning.
