Infertility in the family has recently become a complicated medical problem. According to WHO, about 10% of couples are not able to fertilize. This situation is persistent both in Europe and in Ukraine. Given the state of depopulation of the nation it is an acute ptoblem for Ukraine. The aim of the study was to investigate the infertility and other reproductive diseases arising due to various reasons in men and women of different age groups in Cherkasy region The causes of infertility are classified into two groups: the first group consists of causes related to physical health and functional conditions of a person; the second includes the reasons which are directly related to lifestyle (habits, stress, hard work). Under the influence of negative environmental factors a high incidence of reproductive diseases, complications of pregnancy and childbirth is observed. Male infertility is rather acquired than inbourn. The growth of male infertility dynamics has recently been marked in Cherkasy region. This problem is most common among men aged 18 to 25 years. Thus it indicates the general trend to the process of male infertility growth, which is likely due to harmful habits such as alcohol abuse, especially beer abuse. Every fourth Ukrainian proves to be a heavy drinker and is a person under the age of 35 years. Beer alcoholism causes cerebration and abnormalities in endocrine organs. Women usually suffer from infertility, men have problems with potency. According to the World Health Organization, in 2012 Ukraine became a leader among 41 countries by the number of teenagers who regularly consume alcohol. Recent polls show that 76% of adolescents (ages 14 to 16 years) have consumed alcoholic beverages where beer was the most popular. 22% of pupils and students of secondary and higher educational institutions drink alcohol almost every day or at least several times a week, and in particular this applies to beer and soft drinks. Testosterone production is suppressed in men who regularly consume beer, and the production of female hormones increases. Female infertility in Cherkasy and Cherkasy region constitutes about 80% of infertile marriages. The main causes of infertility in women is endocrine disorders occuring in 20 - 50% of cases in married couples.
