Why Indian Couples Struggle With Natural Conception
Many Indian couples may struggle with natural conception because fertility is misunderstood or discussed too late. Some may be unaware of the fertility window and may not time intercourse around ovulation. Additionally, male fertility, which contributes to a significant number of infertility cases, is still overlooked, the focus being largely on women.At times, social media can do more harm than good by peddling fertility myths and unproven remedies, thereby delaying appropriate care. At the same time, there is a lot of stigma and shame around infertility, which leads to people feeling discouraged from having open conversations on the subject and seeking out medical help soon.
Modern lifestyle factors such as chronic stress, poor sleep, long working hours, burnout, unhealthy diets, smoking, alcohol, and physical inactivity can also negatively affect fertility in both men and women, making it even harder to conceive naturally.
