ABSTRACT
The subject is highlighted on February 28 2017 from times of India in the title of Kerala sees rise in fertility clinics which made me to write this article to recollect. In the past 5 years, the number of IVF clinics in India has doubled, with a quick count showing that from 20 clinics in 2012 to 41 in 2017. Fertility specialists have suggested that the increase is not due to a decrease in infertility among couples, but rather due to late marriages and delays in conceiving. On average, 5000 couples in Kerala undergo IVF treatment at these centres each year, with 1000-1500 babies being born in Kerala, according to the Indian Society for Assisted Reproduction. Although IVF is a costly option, it is now becoming more accepted among Malayalis. The cost of IVF treatment in Kerala ranges from Rs 1.25-2 lakh, with a success rate of 30-35%. Five years ago, the majority of IVF patients were aged 32, but now more than 50% are under 30. Repeat patients have increased, with 20% returning for the second baby through IVF. Natural conception is no longer possible due to PCOS. By considering the above fact it is our duty to work for future healthy generation in order to have alternate and healthy life style to eradicate PCOS. Hence the article is designed the relationship between IVF and PCOS and need of an alternative medicine.
