Infertility: A Shared Journey, Not a Blame Game – Insights from Dr. Usha at Fortis Bannerghatta Road

Dr. Usha B R Nov 05, 2024

Infertility remains a sensitive and often misunderstood issue, and despite advancements in medical knowledge, it continues to carry social stigma. Sadly, in many cases, the woman is unfairly blamed for a couple’s inability to conceive. But is it really her fault?

Why Blame Her? Understanding the Real Causes of Infertility

Infertility is a complex issue that affects both men and women equally. It’s important to approach this topic with an open mind and compassion. As Dr. Usha, a fertility expert at Fortis Bannerghatta Road, explains, infertility is not just a "woman’s problem"—it is a shared concern that requires understanding and support from both partners.

Let’s break down the facts:

  • 30% of infertility cases are due to female factors: Issues such as hormonal imbalances, ovulation disorders, or blockages in the fallopian tubes may be present in the female partner.
  • 30% of infertility cases are due to male factors: Conditions like low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or ejaculatory dysfunction are common causes of infertility in men.
  • 20% of infertility cases involve both partners: In some cases, both partners may have contributing factors, making conception more challenging.
  • 20% of infertility cases are unexplained: In these instances, all tests and reports come back normal, but the couple is still unable to conceive. This is known as unexplained infertility, and it can be particularly frustrating for couples seeking answers.

Infertility is a Couple's Concern

When a couple faces infertility, it’s crucial to understand that it’s not a one-sided issue. Infertility is a couple’s concern, and both partners play an equal role in the process of conception. Blaming the woman only perpetuates the stigma and adds unnecessary emotional stress.

Instead of pointing fingers, it’s time to shift the perspective and support both partners in their journey toward parenthood. It’s important to recognize that the issue may lie with the female, the male, both partners, or sometimes, there may be no identifiable cause at all.
