Abstract
Background and Aim: The condition of infertility is recognised as a major healthcare concern across different communities. The issue’s significant prevalence has resulted in its intensified importance. Environmental conditions and acquired risk factors have been found to be associated with a substantial proportion of cases of infertility. Diverse environmental conditions have underscored the necessity to investigate the distinct aetiologies of infertility in various regions.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency causes of infertility in infertile couples.
Materials and Methods: In this cross sectional descriptive study 340 infertile couples that were referred to infertility clinic of tertiary care hospital during study period, were examined. This centre is the only governmental centre for infertility. Information about the patients was obtained from medical examinations and laboratory findings. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics such as frequencies and the mean were used.
Results: Among the various causes of infertility women factors (88.6%) had the highest regard. In the causes of female infertility, menstrual disorders, diseases (obesity, thyroid diseases, and diabetes), The causes of infertility in the 340 couples were divided into four standard categories as follows: Female factor 58.7% , Male factor 28.2%, Combined causes 3%, Unexplained infertility 10.1%. The prevalence of primary and secondary female infertility was 70.5% and 29.5% respectively. Tubal cause account most in female infertility.among male sperm morphology was measure cause.
Conclusion: Urban Central India has a lower rate of primary infertility than developing nations. Healthcare professionals and policymakers must understand infertility incidence and risk factors to develop and implement various infertility prevention and management strategies.
