Incapacidad para concebir; Incapacidad para quedar embarazada (esterilidad)
La prevención de las infecciones de transmisión sexual (ITS), como gonorrea y clamidia, puede reducir el riesgo de infertilidad.
Mantener una dieta, peso y estilo de vida saludables puede incrementar las posibilidades de quedar embarazada y tener un embarazo saludable.
Tome un multivitamínico prenatal o multivitaminas que contengan folato comenzando antes y durante el embarazo. Esto disminuye el riesgo de aborto espontáneo y el desarrollo de problemas en el bebé.
