Delhi-NCR witnesses highest ever cases of infertility in 2021-22 #IndiaNEWS #National ,IANS Life
By IANSlifeNew Delhi, July 24 (IANSlife) The worlds first test tube baby was born 43 years ago. The 25th of July is designated as World IVF Day to commemorate the birth. NOVA IVF Fertility, one of Indias leading chain of fertility centres, has released a report on the factors leading to infertility in the Delhi NCR region:
According to the Nova IVFs Insight Report :
. 56 per cent of Delhi women are affected by infertility due to advanced maternal age and tubal factors. PCOD and PCOS is the cause of infertility among 19 per cent women. . During the pandemic in 2020, we observed that PCOS was particularly high and contributed as the second most factor for female infertility next to tubal factors. . . PCOS and Tubal factors have seen an increasing trend in the last five years. Other female fertility issues observed include Low ovarian reserve between women in the age group of 25-34, followed by Endometriosis. Staggering increase in cases of tubal factor in women affecting their fertility is seen in Delhi-NCR as compared to Southern, Eastern or other parts of India. 71 per cent of couples preferred self-cycles, followed by 29 percent Donor cycle- This shows that even in the most challenging cases, advanced science and technology in embryology is used to do self-cycle by using a couples own egg and sperm
In terms of male fertility issues in Delhi NCR, Azoospermia (no sperm), a condition in which the male counterpart has no sperm, is a leading cause of infertility in males. It accounts for 25 per cent, followed by Asthenoteratospermia, which means low sperm motility, which accounts for 21 percent.
Male infertility can be caused by genetic factors, chemo therapy, previous testicular surgeries, and lifestyle factors such as excessive smoking, alcohol consumption, and use of steroids for body / muscle building.
Observing the trends closely, veteran in the fertility sector, Dr Sonia Malik, Programme Director, Nova Southend Fertility and IVF, New Delhi said, In India, infertility affects approx. 15 per cent of Indian couples. Late marriages, stressful lifestyles, obesity, high junk food intake, smoking, alcoholism, and drug addiction contribute to the problem.
Astoundingly, we have witnessed that tubal factors have accounted for the maximum percentage as compared to other factors leading to infertility. Northern regions of India like Delhi, Rajasthan, UP and Haryana have reported the maximum number of Tuberculosis cases as compared to other parts of the country.
While tuberculosis (TB) is an infection that is caused by bacteria that can settle in any part of the body, when it reaches the reproductive organs, it causes genital tuberculosis. Genital tuberculosis starts by infecting fallopian tubes in women.
