　　2009年，世界卫生组织（世卫组织）与“国际监测辅助生殖技术委员会”（ICMART）及其他合作伙伴共同制定了不育和生育医疗的定义术语表。该术语表对不育的定义为“未采取任何避孕措施经常性交12个月及以上仍无法实现临床妊娠的生殖系统疾病”。

　　世卫组织并未改变对“不育”定义的应用、将其定义为残疾。

　　很重要的一点是，该定义只是对不育的临床描述，并未就提供生育医疗服务提出任何建议。

　　世卫组织目前正在与合作伙伴携手，对不育和生育医疗的定义术语表进行更新，并考虑修订不育的定义。即使“不育”的定义有任何变化，也仍将是对不育作为生殖系统疾病的临床描述，而不会就提供生育医疗服务提出任何建议。

　　WHO Definition Of Infertility

　　In 2009， WHO joined with the International Committee for Monitoring Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ICMART) and other partners to develop a Glossary of definitions for infertility and fertility care.

　　This Glossary included the clinical definition for infertility as "a disease of the reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse."

　　WHO has NOT changed its use of this definition， to define infertility as a disability.

　　It is important to note that this definition provides a clinical description of #infertility. It does not make any recommendations about the provision of fertility care services.

　　WHO is currently collaborating with its partners to update the Glossary and consideration is being given to revising the definition of infertility. Should there be a change in the definition of infertility， it will remain a clinical description of infertility as a disease of the reproductive system and will not make recommendations about the provision of fertility care services.
