1. Infertility can be classified into physiological infertility and pathological infertility based on its nature. Infertility occurring before puberty, during lactation, and during menopause is referred to as physiological infertility. Infertility caused by various diseases is called pathological infertility.2. Infertility can be divided into primary infertility and secondary infertility based on whether there is a history of pregnancy.
