subtypes natural, clinical, and hardship. Natural sterility is the couple's physiological inability to conceive a child naturally. Clinical sterility is natural sterility for which treatment of the patient will not result in conception. Hardship sterility is the inability to take advantage of available treatments due to extraneous factors such as economic, psychological, or physical factors. Clinical sterility is a subtype of natural sterility, and
Hardship sterility is a subtype of Clinical sterility.
