辟謠：“不育”不等于“殘疾”！

　　2009年，世界衛生組織（世衛組織）與“國際監測輔助生殖技術委員會”（ICMART）及其他合作伙伴共同制定了不育和生育醫療的定義術語表。該術語表對不育的定義為“未采取任何避孕措施經常性交12個月及以上仍無法實現臨床妊娠的生殖系統疾病”。

　　世衛組織并未改變對“不育”定義的應用、將其定義為殘疾。

　　很重要的一點是，該定義只是對不育的臨床描述，并未就提供生育醫療服務提出任何建議。

　　世衛組織目前正在與合作伙伴攜手，對不育和生育醫療的定義術語表進行更新，并考慮修訂不育的定義。即使“不育”的定義有任何變化，也仍將是對不育作為生殖系統疾病的臨床描述，而不會就提供生育醫療服務提出任何建議。

　　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.
