Adolescent Infertility: A Case Report

Reproductive health for teens has primarily focused on preventing or delaying pregnancies (and sexually transmitted infections [STIs]) rather than treating infertility. There continues to be millions of teen pregnancies per year (Martin, Hamilton, Osterman, Curtin, & Mathews, 2015), many intended by females and/or their partners, especially in developing countries where adolescent parenting is commonplace to the cultural norms (Haimov-Kochman, Imbar, Farchat, Bdolah, & Hurwitz, 2008). In the United States, there is evidence in media reports (e.g., the Massachusetts pregnancy pact [Kingsbury, 2008] and the reality TV program Teen Mom) and in the medical literature that some adolescents consider pregnancy desirable.
