According to the Indian Council of Medical Research, about 10-15 per cent (or 13-19 million) of married couples in India are infertile. This is a rather overwhelming figure, especially in light of the fact that diabetes (another high incidence ailment) is a mere 3-5 percent.
“Experts also feel that lifestyle changes of the 21st century have adversely affected fertility, resulting in low sperm count, infections, chronic disease and erectile dysfunction in the male and damaged fallopian tubes, PCOS, low egg production and fibroids in the female. PCOS i.e. polycystic ovarian syndrome is one of the biggest problem in Indian Women” said Dr. Manika Khanna, MBBD, MD (D.A.G.E Germany) Director, Gaudium IVF & Gynae Solutions, Ludhiana today in CME conducted at IMA hall, BRS Nagar, Ludhiana.

The problem is prevalent among professionals in the fast mode, such as busy professionals in the software and IT sector.
