We believe that every woman can give birth to a baby and that every man can father children. However, this is not always the case. A man or a woman’s natural capability to reproduce is known as fertility and the inability to do so is referred to as infertility.
Fertility is usually at its peak during the late teenage years and early 20s. As one grows older, fertility levels tend to drop. Apart from age, there are a number of other factors too that can affect fertility in couples.
The good news is that medical science has advanced to a stage where most types of infertility, be it primary or secondary, can be treated and couples can have their own biological children.

Testing for male and female infertility
If a couple has been trying to conceive naturally for over a year with having regular and unprotected sex, then they should consider meeting a fertility consultant and follow a plan as advised.
Nearly 27.5 million couples in India who are actively seeking children suffer from infertility. Assisted reproductive technology (ART), which includes in-vitro fertilization (IVF), is used primarily for treatment of infertility. In spite of increasing demand for infertility treatment, only 1% of infertile couples in India seek treatment.
Fertility - Myths and Facts
The inability to give birth to a child when desired is a very personal and stressful experience. Many myths surround this area of human life. Though medical science has brought about a rapidly growing number of interventions and technologies to assist individuals toward pregnancy, much of this is misunderstood. When a couple is unable to conceive naturally, they should seek fertility treatment to understand and address the root cause of the problem and undergo necessary treatment rather than subjecting themselves to guilt and depression.
FAQs About Infertility
Though fertility health has been in conversation for a long time in the society, infertility as a disease has still not garnered the required awareness. Many Indians are still unaware about infertility, its causes and treatments. Creating awareness about this important health aspect and the available treatment options is crucial in helping couples gain understanding of various conditions pertaining to infertility and opting for the right treatment plan.
