Recently a study was conducted in collaboration with AIIMS to gauge the survival rates of patients suffering from osteoporosis that in turn makes them highly prone to fractures.

According to the Indian gynecologists, faster lifestyles, smoking, drinking, indefinite work shifts, are some of the lifestyle changes that are leading to infertility in women.

The present findings were presented in a symposium organized by AIIMS, in which more than 100 experts from India and abroad participated.

The presentation also included a live workshop that demonstrated the most recent procedures for impediment, identification, and early management of infertility.

Nearly 6-8 percent of the couples are facing infertility caused by lifestyle changes, smoking, and irregular work routines among women.

"Women have switched to a faster lifestyle now. The stress is affecting their menstrual cycle and hormonal make-up, leading to infertility," said Abha Majumdar, director of the centre of In-vitro human fertilization (IVF) and human reproduction at Sir Ganga Ram hospital.

"Late marriages, mainly after 30 years of age, are another reason for infertility," she said.
