Dr. Kuldeep Nair, president of IFS, said, “Quality of female gametes is linked to factors like follicle size, egg morphology, and other essential characteristics. Similarly, sperm quality is associated with factors such as morphology, concentration, and motility.
Dr. Surveen Ghumman, general secretary of IFS, claimed that post-COVID, doctors are noticing a decrease in egg quality as well as quantity in women as young as 27 years of age. In males also, COVID-19 has caused damage to the sperm. She said lifestyle diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid issues, and delayed marriages are common causes of infertility and high-risk pregnancies.
