Why Couples Struggle to Conceive: The Untold Side | EP 27 Prashant Desai

The Fertility Crisis No One Is Talking About
The Alarming Rise of Infertility in India and What You Can Do About It

1 in 6 people will face infertility in their lifetime. That’s not a niche medical concern, it’s a silent public health emergency.


India alone has over 25–30 million infertile couples. Half of the problem comes from men, but almost no one is talking about it.

This episode isn’t about vague “just relax and it’ll happen” advice. It’s a deep, unflinching look at what’s driving the fertility crisis, from lifestyle and environmental factors to medical conditions and what options modern medicine offers to those who want to start a family.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
What infertility really means and the top 10 causes
Why male infertility is on the rise and the 4 key sperm health factors doctors look at
How fertility changes for women with age, and why egg quality matters more than quantity
The real success rates (and costs) of IUI, IVF, and egg freezing in India
The truth about miscarriage and genetic abnormalities
What affects your reproductive health
Myths vs. science when it comes to boosting fertility


This is not just a “health” episode, it’s a wake-up call for anyone who wants children in the future. Because fertility isn’t just about the ability to conceive today, it’s a reflection of your overall health tomorrow.

Listen now to understand the crisis, take control of your reproductive health, and make informed decisions before it’s too late.
