Pinar del Rio. The variables analyzed were: age, time and type of infertility, causes
and related infections. Data obtained were grouped in simple tables, to its analysis,
methods of descriptive statistics and qualitative variables were summed up
considering absolute and relative percentages, calculating the mean for the age of
the group and its standard deviation.

of 23,7% prevailing secondary infertility, female causes prevailed in 56 women
(47,5%), followed by mixed causes. The greatest number of patients were between
20 and 34 years old, representing 80,5% of the total of the sample. More than the

followed by oligoasthenozoospermia (21,6%), found in male infertility.
