Abstract

Infertility is a common problem that persists in 80 million of the people in the world. It is characterized by failure to conceive within a year or more with the continuous efforts of conceiving. The present study is designed to compare causes and risk factors of infertility in middle aged and younger females of Karachi, Pakistan. A survey based research of sample size 102 with inclusion criteria of age 18-40 years was conducted in local government hospitals. Subjects were divided into 2 groups of age 18-27 and 28 – 40 years respectively. A detailed questionnaire investigating complete medical and menstrual history, fertility history, other metabolic disorders (like diabetes, hypertension, anemia, PCOS) and life style of patients was evaluated. Our study concludes that age is the most important determinant of fertility because with increase in age other factors associated with infertility also become intense and causes severe hindrances in conception.
