What Is Infertility in Women?

Infertility in women refers to the inability to conceive or carry a pregnancy to full-term. It is a common condition, affecting the lives of over six million Americans under 45 years of age. A woman is considered infertile if they have not been able to get pregnant for one year. If they are 35 or older, this timeframe is reduced to six months. Infertility can be caused by problems affecting any aspect of conception, including ovulation, egg transportation, fertilization and implantation.

What Is the Age You Should Go For Mammogram Screening?

Women between the age of 40 to 44 should start annual breast cancer screening. Women between the age of 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year. Women over the age of 55 should get mammograms every 2 years, or can continue yearly screening. Mammogram screening should continue regularly as long as a woman is in good health and is expected to live 10 more years or longer.
