Study: Late marriage, abortions leading to infertility among couples

A host of factors contribute to rising incidences of infertility among couples in the city, said Dr Bharat Parikh, a gynecologist in the city. Dr Parikh, who will be carrying out a month-long free medical check up camp for infertile couples in the city, said couples should seek medical help early. "It has been my observation that by the time couples approach a doctor for a problem, often they have wasted considerable time. And in addressing issues of infertility, often time (age) is very important," said Dr Parikh.

Dr Parikh will be offering free consultation, sonography and semen analysis, among others, for poor infertile patients at his hospital in Vastrapur, during the month-long camp. Dr Parikh, who is also an IVF expert, said that several factors, including late marriage, multiple abortions, lack of exercise, and excess consumption of junk food are responsible for rising infertility among youth.
