According to the World Health Organization, infertility is a common condition and affects millions of people worldwide.

  • When the woman is above 35 years of age

  • When pregnancy does not occur even after multiple attempts

According to All India Institute of Medical Sciences, every patient is different, and treatment is planned based on individual conditions.
