Spanish term or phrase: en el lapso de un año

•Se considera que una mujer no tiene posibilidades de tener hijos si es quirúrgicamente estéril (por ejemplo, si se le ha realizado una histerectomía [extracción del útero], una ooforectomía bilateral [extracción de ambos ovarios] o una ligadura de trompas [unión de las trompas de Falopio] en el lapso de un año) o si finalizó el período de la menopausia 12 meses antes, como mínimo.

Draft:
•A woman is considered to be of non-child bearing potential if she is surgically sterile (for example, if she has undergone a hysterectomy [removal of the uterus], a bilateral oophorectomy [removal of both ovaries] or sterilization [joining of the fallopian tube]...

Not quite sure the best option here.

TIA

About ovar[i]ectomy ... yes, the spelling with the "i" is far more common. Oophorectomy is correct, but you must take your target audience into account, and I can assure you that women who are not doctors or maybe hosp. nurses will not know what it means.

...and what's more, if you got rid of that bracket, the "como minimo" would qualify the "lapso de un año" also ... just shows you how misplaced puncuation screws one up.... and it's easy to get a bracket misplaced when there are lots

I think the last round bracket is misplaced, it should come after the last square bracket, as the sentence goes ....if she is (proven to be) surgically sterile ...for at least a year or finished the menopause at least 12 months ago...

In teh interest of plain EN (as teh ES is plain to a ridiculous point!) I would say: A woman is considering to be incapable of having a baby...or summat like that

Haven't included links to save space, but one year is all over the web as a cutoff point for failure to conceive. So although the epxression is a little odd, I would agree with Dee that it's "at least a year".

Normal fertility has been defined as achieving a pregnancy within 2 years by regular unprotected sexual intercourse. [1] However, many define infertility as the failure to conceive after 1 year of unprotected intercourse.

Note that a formal definition of "infertility" is: The diminished ability or the inability to conceive and have offspring. Infertility is also defined in specific terms as the *failure to conceive after a year of regular intercourse without contraception*

I think maybe that last square bracket is misplaced:
o una ligadura de trompas de Falopio en el lapso de un año])
or one year after a tubal ligation])

at least one year ago

Explanation:
See the reference to the menopause issue. They are saying "we have to be sure, and if nothing has happened in one year [after she officially became sterile] then it's ok".

BTW the correct terms are ovarectomy and tubal ligation, NOT! sterilization!

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks for your answer. I agree with on tubal ligation but I don't see anything wrong with "oophorectomy" although the alternative would be "ovariotomy" not "ovarectomy", or did you mean "ovariectomy". In any case, thank you.
