Infertility is the inability to have children. It is a common phenomenon and affects more than 10% of the worldwide population. There are some couples who are able to reach out to their doctors for help. But some don’t.

On average, women take around six monthly cycles to get pregnant, but there are cases when it may take them more than a year.

But this has changed ever since people realized that visiting a gynecologist can help with pregnancy even if no treatment is prescribed at all.
