Putraishna (desire of child) is the strongest desire of all the married couple. Infertility is defined as failure to conceive within one or more years of regular unprotected coitus. Primary infertility denotes those patients who have never conceived and secondary infertility indicates previous pregnancy but failure to conceive subsequently.According to the WHO report about 2-10% of couples worldwide are unable to conceive primarily and about 60-80% couples in the world are infertile.Ovulatory dysfunctions are the major problem in approximately 40% cases of female infertility (Infertility of Leon Sperrof). Among other factors of female infertility, tubal factors are 25-35%, uterine factors are 10% and cervical factors are 5%.
