The state of absolute infertility or complete infertility, with no chance of getting pregnant without special help. Causes include azoospermia, anovulation (especially primary ovarian failure), and blocked fallopian tubes. (Although words like sterility and sterile sound insensitive, especially for a book like Overcoming Infertility, it’s important in medicine to avoid ambiguity; see the box, Medical Vocabulary - Sensitive, Precise and Correct? on page 440 for a discussion of the medical author’s dilemma.)
