Delegates participate in marathon for spreading awareness
Indore :There is no particular reason for infertility as it varies geographically and the doctors should go for finding the cause before starting the general treatment, experts said.
On the conclusion ceremony of national conference of Indian Society for Assisted Reproduction (ISAR-16), renowned gynaecologist Dr Mangla Kawde said that the reason for infertility is different in different part of the country.
“Every region has different atmosphere, different traditions and genetics due to which the reason for infertility also varies. Ovarian endometriosis is the main reason for infertility in women living in South whereas tuberculosis is the reason for the problem in Central region. Similarly in North, obesity and changes in lifestyle causes PCOD which leads to infertility.” She also suggested that girls should consult their doctors immediately if having excessive pain during menstrual period or experiencing sudden changes in weight and body.
Organising chairperson Dr Asha Bakshi said that the event was concluded with a marathon of delegates organised to spread awareness among the people. More than 500 delegates participated in the marathon that started from Brilliant Convention Centre. Delegates with best paper, poster presentation, best video presentation and best presentation in embryology were also felicitated during the conclusion ceremony, she added.
When illiterate taught a lesson
Sharing the memorable moments of life, ACB Medical College’s (Odisha) Dr PC Mahapatra said that once an illiterate youth taught a lesson to the literate class of the society which involved in feticide in desire of male child. “In 1980, an illiterate couple, tailor by profession, approached me with the problem of infertility as they didn’t conceive even after six years of their marriage. I started giving IVF treatment to the woman after knowing that she had two uteri. We had kept the embryo in one of the uteri but it was damaged due to the pressure of other after seven months of pregnancy and the baby, who was a boy, died inside the womb.” Following this, the family members of the man wanted him to get married to another woman so that he can become a father. However, the man refused to do so and supported the woman.
