Challenges and concerns of assisted reproductive treatments: A systematic review
Awareness; Infertility; Lifestyle diseases; Reproductive health
India, once a highly populated country with a Total fertility rate of 5.7 1(year 1960) now has one of the least fertility rates of the world around 2.3 1 (year 2015). In just one decade, with the rising economy, improving life expectancy and lifestyle, we have embraced a new disease Infertility 2. There are numerous reasons for rising infertility amongst Indians, some related to life style changes, some infections and some are occupational hazards. As a remedy to this new disease, hospitals in India were quick enough to learn Assisted Reproductive Technologies from foreign countries and practice the same in our home country. There are many ART clinics in every city however; this solution to the problem of infertility is a problem in itself. The paper uses a systematic review process to unravel the causes of infertility and highlights the concerns revolving around infertility treatments and finally presents suggestions to policy makers. 2019, Institute of Advanced Scientific Research, Inc..
