More than half of supposedly sterile couples can be successfully treated without surgery, Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, reports.
A common cause of sterility is blocking of the wife's Fallopian tubes, preventing a union of the male and female reproductive cells.
Treatments using carbon dioxide gas frequently open these sensitive passages and makes conception possible, the hospital says.
Dr. I. C. Rubin, who perfected the technique, described it to the International College of Surgeons and reported a large percentage of success.
The American Society for the Prevention of Sterility advises examination for both wife and husband.
It is popularly believed that in most cases the wife is unable to bear children.
But a study of nearly 900 sterility cases disclosed that the impaired fertility of the husband was to blame.
Male sterility may require surgical treatment but fertility may be restored by reduction of nervous tensions, proper diet and adequate rest.
The same treatment aids barren women affected by emotional stress, overwork and vitamin deficiencies.
An effective psychological treatment, used in the past by family doctors, is being widely adopted.
Often a barren couple consulting their physician in a small town would be advised to adopt a baby-to fill the void.
The adopted infant, coddled and pressed to the foster parent's breast, often produced physiological changes in the body of the woman, resulting in natural conception.
Today, when diagnosis fails to disclose the cause of deficiency in a childless couple, therapists advise: "Adopt a child and see what happens."
