Even today, most people blame women for not conceiving. They firmly believe that infertility is a women’s issue because of which women still have to undergo a lot of societal and psychological pressure for not having a child.
After having progressed as a society and having access to so much awareness about infertility through social media, campaigns, and even education, this is the state.
But in truth, males are equally responsible. According to WHO, 50% of cases are male factor infertility. There has been a steady dip in the sperm count of males in the past three decades.
Dr. Nisarg Patel, a leading IVF doctor in Ahmedabad and the founder of Nisha IVF Centre, states, “Male infertility has been increasingly observed in men between the age group of 29-35. They have abnormal morphology, low sperm count, or poor motility.”
He further says, “Many Indian men refuse to acknowledge that they may be the cause of infertility, which stops them from getting tested for male infertility. At our IVF hospital in Ahmedabad, we see many husbands who even refuse to attend treatment sessions. Couples come to us for female infertility treatment with thick folders of testing done on women but negligible or zero testing done on men.”
In India, millions of couples in their reproductive age have fertility issues that make it difficult for them to conceive.
Sadly, when it comes to infertility, women are generally held responsible. But the fact is, males and females equally contribute to the fertility issue. You can check the chart below.

When a man cannot have a child, it makes him feel inferior, and he blames the woman for their inability to conceive. This prejudice puts women in an unfavorable situation, potentially resulting in psychological and physical abuse.

Apart from the above causes, other factors contribute to an increase in the rate of male infertility. According to Dr. Nisarg Patel, an accomplished IVF doctor in Ahmedabad, unhealthy lifestyles, stress, lack of physical activity, pollution, drinking alcohol, and smoking all negatively affect sperm parameters.

During the IVF process, the eggs from the woman’s ovaries are harvested after the stimulation process that helps her produce more than one egg. The eggs and sperm are placed together in the petri-dish for fertilization. After the eggs are fertilized, the resultant embryos are transferred to the woman’s uterus after 3 to 5 days.

ICSI is an advanced form of IVF treatment wherein a single sperm is injected into each of the retrieved eggs.

This method is mainly used in the case of male infertility, where there is a limited number of sperm available.

FET is one of the most sought-after fertility treatments at our IVF centre in Ahmedabad for its high success rate and low cost. It involves thawing the embryos from the previous IVF cycle and transferring them to the uterus. The women do not have to undergo ovarian stimulation or egg retrieval during this procedure.
ICSI is an advanced version of IVF, wherein the sperm is directly injected into the egg to ensure fertilization. Our fertility specialist recommends it to couples suffering from male infertility or recurrent IVF failure.
IVF is one of our centre’s most popular fertility treatments. It is a boon for people who cannot conceive naturally. In this procedure, the eggs and the sperm are fertilized outside the body in the lab, and the resultant embryo is transferred to the woman’s uterus.
Now it is possible to preserve your sperm and eggs for later use. With the help of cryopreservation, the eggs and sperm are stored at low temperatures to maintain their viability. This advanced technique is a blessing for people who have to delay having children due to medical or other reasons.
