Infertility in women (helping the ovaries produce eggs), assisted reproduction like IVF, low sperm count in men caused by hormone problems

Prostate cancer (men), breast cancer (women), endometriosis (painful periods caused by womb lining growing outside the womb), fibroids (growths in the womb), thinning the womb lining before surgery
