RAIPUR Obstetrics and Gynaecology Society has organised a conference at Vennington Court on 15th July which was attended by gynaecologists from Raipur and other parts of Chattisgarh. The speakers were Dr Shivani Sachdev Gour from New Delhi and Dr Shubhada Neel from Mumbai. Dr Shivani Sachdev Gour, Gynaecologist and Infertility expert; Hon. General Secretary for the Delhi State ISAR (Indian Society of Assisted Reproduction) and Vice President of the Delhi Gynec Forum gave a lecture on the role of micronutrients in infertility. Some salient points from the talk are as follows: Our study has shown that Infertility is a concern not only for couples above the age of 35 years but in the age group of 21 to 30 years and approx. 27 percent of couples are in the age group of 21 to 25 years. Vitamin D deficiency was noted in over 90 percent of women and over 70 percent of men who came for infertility treatment. Vitamin B12 deficiency was noted in over 50% of women and 30 percent of men who approached for infertility treatment. Correction of micronutrient deficiency can help to reduce the burden of infertility in men and can also reduce the infertility rates in women especially with polycystic ovarian disease. The various food sources which contain micronutrients include green tea (It contains 2 main ingredients: Hypoxanthine, Polyphenols which can increase maturation of eggs). A Japanese study published in 2017 has quoted beneficial effects of tomato juice on male infertility.
