A woman is not obligated to seek treatment for procreation, but doing so is preferable and more appropriate due to the-'s encouragement of having many offspring, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Marry the affectionate and fertile, for I will boast of your numbers before the prophets on the Day of Resurrection." She should not despair in seeking treatment, for there is no disease but that it has a cure.
