What does primary infertility mean?

Patient's question:

I've been married for three years without having children. The doctor said I have primary infertility. What does primary infertility mean?

Doctor's answer:

Infertility can be categorized into two types: secondary infertility, which is the most common cause, including issues such as fallopian tube problems and polycystic ovary syndrome. Apart from abnormalities in the growth and development of organs or functional disorders, there is also primary infertility, which refers to individuals who have never been pregnant and have not used contraception. If they wish to have children, it is best for both partners to undergo thorough examinations, such as the female's menstrual cycle and the male's sperm survival rate.
