There was a time when the birth rate per woman in India was 5.92, meaning a woman gave birth to an average of six children. But by 2023, this figure has fallen to 2, which is just 0.1 points below the replacement level. Experts believe that even this slight decline can lead to a decrease in population in the future.

A major reason for this decline is the changing lifestyle and increasing infertility problem. Especially in men, the problem of fertility is increasing rapidly, due to which they are becoming unable to become fathers. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), if a man is unable to make a woman pregnant despite having unprotected sex for a year, then he is considered infertile.

The problem of infertility is increasing among men

Male infertility has become a serious concern in India. According to experts, men are responsible for 40-50% of infertility cases in the country, while this figure is only 15% worldwide. Why is this problem increasing so rapidly in India? Experts say that the main reason for this is changing lifestyle and environmental factors.

Dr. Durga G. Rao, Medical Director of Oasis Fertility, said that the kind of life we ​​are living is being affected by many external and internal factors. Pollution, adulterated food, pesticides and poisonous air are having a bad effect on health. Apart from this, stress, poor diet, lack of sleep and habits like smoking are also affecting the fertility of men.

Growing trend of sperm freezing

In view of these challenges, sperm freezing has emerged as a new solution. This technique gives men the opportunity to become fathers in the future, especially in cases where sperm count is low or a serious disease is being treated.

According to Dr. Nishi Singh, Head of Fertility, Prime IVF, sperm freezing has become a very effective technique for men undergoing cancer treatment, those working in high-risk professions and men who want to keep their options of becoming a father open in the future.

What is sperm freezing?

This process is generally related to collecting a man's sperm sample and keeping it safe for the future. If a man is undergoing medical treatment or has a low sperm count, then this process gives him a chance to have children in the future.
