Let’s talk about myths and facts about infertility

There are many myths associated with infertility and IVF treatment. Today let’s burst some myths and consider facts about it.

Myth No.1: Infertility is a psychological problem, not a physical one!
Fact: Friends and family may suggest that infertility is due to you being under stress or due to worrying too much. While infertility is usually a condition of the reproductive system, in 30% of cases the cause is unexplained. Stress in any situation is never good for your health and studies indicate that time to achieve pregnancy can be reduced and success rates for achieving pregnancy increased by cutting down on stress.

IVF Treatment: Hope for infertile couples

IVF or in vitreo fertilization is a method to treat infertility worldwide. As we all know all that

infertility is a common modern day problem which means when you are unable to conceive naturally despite of one year of trying. As you age your fertility levels will decline and then you opt for IVF treatment to conceive So, it is very important to know things about IVF treatment before jumping into it: 

1. When women's and men’s fertility really starts to fall

First and foremost you should know about the time or age when a woman's fertility starts to drop dramatically. It starts declining from the age of 30 onwards. Diminishing egg numbers along with diminishing egg quality is also one issue. A simple blood test, known as AMH, will tell a woman if she has a normal number of eggs for her age but tells us little about the quality of the eggs remaining. On the other hand, men's fertility can also reduce with age. While women are born with all the eggs they will ever have, men are continually producing new sperm. However, as men age, the quality of the genes in their sperm deteriorates from 40 onwards.

Age is an important factor for men too

By Dr. Shobha Gupta

As we know that age factor is directly associated with decreasing fertility in women; their eggs grow old. But age does affect the fertility level in men too. after the age of 30, there is a drop in testosterone of 1% per year. Testosterone is the energy, the hormone that you need to make good-quality sperm. It’s not just women who have to worry about their ticking reproductive clock. Men's sperm quality seems to decline after the age of 35. The older a man is the more his sperm cells are dived, and the more divisions present, the more there is a chance for an abnormality to occur.

Studies have shown that age of male is directly associated with a decline in semen volume, sperm motility, and sperm morphology. Many studies have claimed that pregnancy rates decrease between 23% to 38% in comparisons between men under 30 and men over 50. Sperm count declines with age, with men aged 50–80 years producing sperm at an average rate of 75% compared with men aged 20–50 years. Increased paternal age has also been correlated to schizophrenia-(impaired thinking, emotions, and behaviors).

On the other hand, men that maintain a low body weight with a B.M.I. of less than 20, will also have decrease in sperm count. An ideal B.M.I. is be between

Some Facts-

• 1 in 10 woman has PCOS in India
• 50% of women don’t even know that they has it 
• Every second patient in Delhi are suffering from PCOS
• Ovarian drilling in PCOS can destroy your eggs permanently

PCOS – Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is an incurable disorder that affects 1 in 10 women and over 50% do not know that they have it unless and until they go for a checkup. Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common hormonal imbalance disorder which causes irregular menstrual cycle in women, obesity, unwanted hair growth and infertility. It mostly affects women of reproductive age from puberty to menopause i.e. 12-45 years old. 

Every second patient, I treat in Delhi has PCOS. In PCOS patients there are sufficient number of eggs which helps in conceiving but PCOS patients do not have that capacity where their eggs develop itself for pregnancy. In a research by USA, few years ago it was found out that via laparoscopy or key-hole surgery the ovaries are punctured with a small needle carrying an electric current or using laser to voluntarily breech the ovarian capsule. This surgery can lower male hormone levels and help with ovulation. But it indeed needs lot of alertness by the doctors as there are various risks are associated with it like infections from the incision,

Myths and Facts about infertility

By Dr. Shobha Gupta  

Infertility is a term used to explain the inability of a woman to conceive after two years of constant efforts. Infertility is a complex and often misunderstood condition, which is why there's so much confusion surrounding it. Here are some common myths & facts; let s have a look at it.   

Myth: Infertility is a woman's problem. 

Fact: This is the most prevalent of all myths having to do with infertility, and if a couple is unable to have a child, the woman is thought to be "barren." In fact, according to Resolve, a national infertility advocacy organization in the USA, men and women are about equally responsible when it comes to infertility.  In reality, 40% of infertility is due to female factors, 40% due to male factors and 20% due to both.  

Myth: - Ayurvedic medicines are harmless and better for treatment of infertility related problems like low sperm count or poor sperm motility (movement). 

Fact: - Ayurvedic medicines cause more harm than good in such cases as mentioned above. People think that they can quickly solve the problem by taking easily and cheaply available ayurvedic medicines but what they don’t realize is that they are actually harming themselves and worsening their condition. A low count sample can be treated with ICSI and a poor motility sample with advanced techniques which are available only at a specialized IVF centre.  

Myth: Infertility treatment is expensive
