_ _ Infertility In Indian Scenario Incidence
And Causes
The general rate of
infertility
in India
is 10-15
for
reproductive-aged couples. Since India has a very
high population of around 1.3 billion, this
means that the number of infertility patients in
India compared to other countries is
significantly high. The rise of infertility in
the Indian population involves many factors,
including changes in lifestyle, stress, and the
recent trend of delaying marriage and pregnancy
(for reasons related to careers). Also, females
tend to ignore symptoms of pelvic infections
leading to permanent loss of functioning of
fallopian tubes, leading to infertility. The
Indian National Family Health Survey found that
infertility rates were highest in women living in
urban areas as women are attempting pregnancy at
older ages when women are less biologically
fertile. Infertility is caused by female factors
in one-third of the patients, malefactors in
another one thirds and combined male and female
factors in remaining one third. The most common
causes of infertility in India are sperm
abnormalities (fewer sperm counts and motility)
leading to male factor infertility, and in
women, a hormone condition called polycystic
ovarian disease or polycystic ovarian syndrome or
PCOD/PCOS. Other important causes are blocked
fallopian tubes which may be due to past
infections, tuberculosis,
2
2 endometriosis, surgeries etc. In 10-15 of
all infertile couples, there is no cause found
for infertility on routine investigations, such
cases are called unexplained infertility. If you
