Okay the first thing you need to know is there are two different types of being sterile.

1:there is temporary sterile.

Temporary sterile means you can produce the right stuff whether a woman or man you just cant produce it at certain time in your life. Most commonly you might become sterile after high doses of chemotherapy or radiation but there are some cases where people still have the stuff to produce a baby.

Permanent sterility means you are incapable to produce a baby. But you can still adopt. You cant just go through your life non-sterile then just become sterile because every action has a different reaction in this case chemotherapy will be the action and sterile would be the reaction. but if you happen to be sterile 9 out of 10 you probably have had a chemo or radiation treatment. but don't let it get you down the treatment probably saved your life. Hey look at Lance Armstrong they said he couldn't have a baby and he had one.
it depends, but in most of the cases steril means you can't have kids because your sperm is not working or getting through the female's vagina.
In women, sterility means that they are unable to conceive children.

In men, sterility means that they are unable to make the woman conceive children.

It can be caused by a number of reasons, diseases (endometriosis, etc), surgeries (hysterectomies, etc), lifestyle, age, sperm count, etc.

Sterile means free from living organisms, such as bacteria and viruses, that could cause infection or disease. It can also refer to objects or areas that have been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to prevent contamination.

Not exactly. Sterile refers to being free from living organisms, such as bacteria and viruses, that could cause infection or disease. Cleanliness, on the other hand, usually refers to the absence of dirt or grime. While something that is sterile is usually clean, something can be clean without necessarily being sterile.
