Abstract

 

ABSTRACT

Background and objectives: Primary infertility is a common, preventable but neglected reproductive health problem in developing countries like India. Considering the escalating incidence and its potentiality to create serious psychosocial complication the present study was undertaken in an attempt to find out some risk factors pertaining to female primary infertility.

Methods: An Age, residence matched case-control study was conducted in two infertility clinics. A 240 cases and controls were selected at random.Data was collected using a constructed questionnaire including socio-demographic data. Gynecological history, questions about polycystic ovarian disease, endometriosis, fibroid, irregularity in menstrual cycle and intake of Oral Contraceptive Pills.

Results:Evidence shown in this study allows the author to conclude that the significant risk factors for primary infertility among females are higher education, age at marriage >25, postponement of child bearing for ≥1 year, obesity, polycystic ovarian syndrome, irregular menstrual pattern, endometriosis, STI and age at menarche >14 years.

Conclusion: Medical case studies, escalating incidence as well as the rising number of infertility clinics in urban areas of the country are pointing to the fact that infertility is becoming a health challenge in the country. We hope as treatment of infertility is expensive for the families especially in developing countries, identifying the risk factors can be of great help to prevent infertility in many females.

Keywords: Primary Infertility, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, obesity, female
