STEADY DECLINE

Over the past few years, almost all the countries have been observed to have a steady decline in the fertility rate. And in India, the infertility is worse than most other nations. A recent survey has observed that many couples are resorting to artificial methods of conception because of this reason.

This steady decline has started in India approximately a decade and a half ago.  A steady decline of 17 percent every year from 2000 has been observed.  One of the recent statistics shows that over 10% of our population suffers from fertility problems. Considering the amount of population India has (more than 1.2 billion), it is quite a huge number.

FACTORS OF DECLINE

The causes for the fertility issues are many, and the fundamental reasons come down to changes in lifestyle, physical and mental stress, and late marriages. According to a survey in 2013, poor sperm count (41 percent) played a major role in male infertility; female infertility was caused mainly by polycystic ovarian disorder or PCOD (40 percent)

THE SYMPTOMS

Apart from these factors,exposures to pesticide, especially agricultural pesticides, may harm both men and women’s fertility. Being Over-Weight or Under-Weight may also delay the occurrence of Pregnancy. Always keep your weight in control.

As many as 12 Million people every year get affected by Thyroid. And most of them are women (about at least 60%) and the main problem with this ailment is most of the people do not show immediate symptoms to raise a doubt. This is why regular health check-ups are very much important. Over the years, the minimum age at which Thyroid ailments can hit has been decreasing. Today, we can see even a 15 year girl could get affected by this issue. This might be because of a number of factors but there are a few things we can do to control the raise of this disease.

  2. Toxic adenomas or nodules that develop in the Thyroid gland that secrete additional hormones
  3. Malfunctioning of Pituitary gland
  4. Too much exposure to Iodine from other medications
