reproductive age group in our country. This facility will help couples who are
not able to have a child on their own and need some assistance to be able to
conceive".

female factor in 40 per cent, male factor in 35 per cent, combination of both
in 10-20 per cent and the rest remains unexplained. A couple's chances of conception
after one year of regular unprotected intercourse are 80 and 90per cent after
18 months. In 15 per cent females, more than one female cause is responsible
for infertility.

equipment for storage & freezing of sperms, eggs and embryo storage helps
couples conceive and deliver. She further added, "We will offer advanced
technology such as assisted laser hatching, and genetic material imaging of
the eggs through polarised microscope and blastocyst culture backed-up with
a new freezing technique of vitrification and 3D Ultrasonology."
