According to recent studies, one in five couples are experiencing fertility problems in UAE, with the number of women requiring fertility treatments predicted to double by 2030. In addition to these lifestyle factors that lead to infertility, habits particular to the region are also a huge reason for this rising trend of infertility for example chemical use like steroids and smoking. This, in particular, is a major cause for infertility in men in the UAE region. The use of anabolic steroids has become widespread and men as young as in their early twenties, have been identified with infertility issues because of steroid use. The use of shisha is also wide spread and is a major cause of infertility as the tobacco is extremely potent. 'While the health impact of Shisha smoking on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems are well documented, very few are aware that in females, Shisha has a direct toxic effect on eggs, while in males, sperm production is highly compromised, leading to significantly lowered semen volume, semen count and decreased sperm motility,' says top fertility clinic in Abu Dhabi, IVI Middle East Fertility Clinic.

In women, obesity can cause hormonal imbalances that affect ovulation, while it impacts males by reducing sperm quality. Infertility rates can also be twice as high in smokers, both male and female, compared to non-smokers.

Infertility rates in the UAE have reached worrisome proportions. Despite the very real impact this has on the lives of families who are struggling to conceive, awareness of this issue remains low, and patients are unaware of the different treatment options. IVI Middle East Fertility Clinic believes in spreading awareness along with providing the best infertility treatment available in UAE - Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
