NY Times article entitled "A Culprit in Infertility, Overlooked Yet Treatable." The article discusses a hormonal condition called Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) that is a treatable, yet often undiagnosed condition in infertility for both men and women. Infertility treatments are frequently not covered by insurance companies, yet there are clearly medical causes to infertility that are easily treatable. Should insurance companies cover infertility diagnosis and treatment? Is it essential that physicians, especially those in women's health, discuss fertility and test for fertility in young women even when they are not trying to have children?
