Abstract
Infertility in India touches many lives, silently challenging societal norms. Couples facing this struggle often endure social stigmas, highlighting the need for increased awareness and empathy. Despite advancements in medical treatments, accessibility and affordability remain key barriers. The aim of this study was to analyze clinical pattern of infertility among couples visiting our infertility clinic. The present study was a hospital based observational study which included 200 couples presenting to our infertility clinic. After obtaining consent, all the necessary demographic and clinical data was collected. The data was collected in MS Excel and presented as numbers and percentages in the form of tables and figures. More than two‐thirds (69.5%) of the women were of the age group 21‐30 years. Nearly half of the women selected for this study (49%) were married for a period of 2‐7 years. Most of the women were Nulliparous (68%). 68% of women from the study had regular menstrual history while nearly one‐third (32%) of women had irregular menstrual history. Almost three‐fourths (74%) of women considered for this study had normal gynecological history, while 12% had PCOS and 4% had fibroids. Endometriosis, Ovarian cyst and Structural defect were each present in the gynecological history of 1% of women. Seven percent of women had other gynecological issues. 80% of the women from this study exhibited normal HSG findings, while 1 tube was blocked in 14% of women and both tubes were blocked in 6% of women. Infertility exhibits diverse etiological patterns worldwide, with both male and female factors playing pivotal roles. Hence, it is imperative to provide thorough counseling and conduct meticulous investigations for both partners. By tailoring the approach to each case's specific issues; we can enhance the prospects of achieving successful outcomes in addressing fertility challenges.
