Infertility is the physical incapability of not conceiving. While in medical science, it is just like any other disease where a body part may not function appropriately, infertility is considered complex and confusing by society.
Sinceinfertility is a reproductive disorder and discussing it is considered taboo, people generally believe in prevailing myths without checking the facts. Medical science has progressed so much over the years in terms of new equipment and technology. But people still believe in these myths that resist them to take any treatment of infertility.
The following are some dominant myths about infertility and the fact checks.
Myth 1: Infertility only happens to women; men cannot be infertile.
Truth: Infertility is not gender-specific, it can happen to either males or females. In fact, in half of the cases of infertility, males are diagnosed with deficiencies in sperm transport or spermatogenesis.
Myth 2: Infertility is all in your mind; it is not a physical disorder.
Truth: Infertility is not a psychological problem; it is a real and physicalinability. Infertility is a condition, where the couple fails to conceive due to any issue in the reproductive system or sometimes due to unexplained reasons.
