World Health Organization (WHO) defines Infertility as Failure to achieve pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse.
Here are some of the misconceptions about Infertility.
Myth 1: Treatment for Infertility is complex and expensive
It depends upon the condition of the patient. Depending upon the degree of the complexity of the situation different procedures like Ovulation Induction (OI), Intra Uterine Insemination (IUI), and Invitro fertilization (IVF) are available. The procedures need not be complex and expensive. Except for the case of IVF, others are out-patient treatments
Myth 2: Infertility is due to a female’s inability
On the contrary, males contribute significantly to infertility[1].
Myth 3: Infertility treatment assures success
Depending upon several aspects the success rate is estimated to be about 40% or more[2]
Myth 4: Infertility treatment is affordable only to the Rich
Indian medical eco-system is making conscious efforts in ensuring that the treatment is accessible and affordable without compromising on quality.
Myth 5: Infertility treatment can be taken at any age
While it seems to be true age plays a significant role in achieving success. The odds of success improve if one takes it at an earlier age.[3]
