What is Infertility?

Medically, if a couple lacks the capability to conceive after a year of constant physical relationship lacking any contraceptives, the condition is referred to as Infertility. Reports reveal that about 27.5 million Indian couples of reproductive ages suffer from infertility—40-50% of which recorded infertility in women.
Infertility treatment has now witnessed a paradigm shift from a taboo to the mainstream, thanks to urbanization, environmental changes, and lifestyle changes. The impact of infertility in women includes food adulteration, chemical, and harmful toxins entering the body, air, and water pollution. These factors are also accompanied by mental stress, work stress, obesity, alcohol consumption, smoking, marriage delay, STDs, etc.

Causes of Infertility in Women
