Abstract
Infertility and conception complications have long been major global health concerns1, and these continue to be significant clinical problems affecting 8% to 10% of couples globally and 7% to 15% of couples in the United States2-6. Infertility has also been common among the Indian population (4-6%, as per the 1981 census)4. In the causation of infertility in a couple, both the male and female factors play vital roles7, 8. According to reviews of infertility conducted worldwide by the World Fertility Survey and others, similar patterns of infertility rates were found in several South Asian countries that include 5% in Pakistan, 6% in Nepal, 4% in Bangladesh, and 4% in Sri Lanka2, 9.
