It is estimated that globally, infertility affects 8–12 % of women who are 20–44 years of age. Physiological causes in men account for 20–30 % of cases of infertility and physiological causes in women for 20–35 %, while 25–40 % are due to issues in both partners. In 10–20 % of cases, no cause is found. Women starting their families at an older age is one of the most common explanations for infertility today. It is vital that those facing infertility issues empower themselves by having the necessary conversation about fertility treatment with their partner and doctor, because there are interventions if treatment is sought sooner rather than later. In this evening session of Medical matters we talk about infertility as June is Infertility Awareness month and we’re joined by Dr Noluyolo Sigcu, a healthcare practitioner, specialising as a Obstetrician & Gynaecologist.
