Banker IVF & Women’s Hospital, a leading fertility center in Ahmedabad, is raising awareness about the growing prevalence of infertility in India and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. According to their recent blog post, infertility affects approximately 8–10% of couples worldwide, with 15–20 million cases in India alone.

Infertility is commonly defined as the inability to become pregnant after a year of regular, unprotected intercourse. It can be classified into two types:

Primary Infertility: To those couples who have never conceived.
Secondary Infertility: When a couple faces difficulty conceiving after having successfully achieved pregnancy in the past.

The causes of infertility are multifactorial and can affect both partners. In about one-third of cases, the issue lies with the male partner; in another third, with the female partner; and in the remaining cases, both partners are affected or the cause remains unexplained.

Age: Women's fertility declines with age, especially after 35, due to a decrease in the number and quality of eggs. Men over 40 may also experience reduced fertility.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and being overweight or underweight can negatively impact fertility in both men and women.
Medical Conditions:
In Men: Infertility can result from issues such as abnormal sperm production or function, sperm delivery problems, and certain infections.
In Women: Common causes of infertility include ovulation disorders, blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, and various uterine conditions.
