Pune : India's Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has declined to 1.9, falling
below the replacement level of 2.1 required to maintain a stable population.
Fertility specialists believe that delayed marriages, career priorities,
lifestyle changes, rising stress levels, and a lack of awareness about
reproductive health are contributing to a growing incidence of infertility
among couples. Against this backdrop, Xenith Advanced Fertility Centre has
launched a Free Fertility Health Camp from July 15 to August 1, 2026, with the
objective of creating awareness and encouraging timely fertility evaluation.
The initiative
goes beyond providing medical consultations. It seeks to address the social
stigma associated with infertility, educate couples about the importance of
timely family planning, and encourage them to seek expert medical advice
without hesitation. Many couples postpone fertility assessment due to social,
emotional, or psychological barriers, often losing valuable reproductive years.
The camp aims to reinforce the message that infertility is a medical
condition—not a social stigma—and that timely diagnosis and treatment can
significantly improve the chances of parenthood.
The camp will be
held at Xenith Advanced Fertility Centre's Wakad and Koregaon Park centres,
where couples will receive expert consultation, fertility assessment, essential
diagnostic guidance, and complimentary semen analysis for men. Those interested
can obtain further information by visiting www.xenithivf.com.
The initiative
is being conducted under the guidance of Dr. Mamata Dighe, Founder and Director
of Xenith Advanced Fertility Centre. A pioneer in reproductive medicine, Dr.
Dighe has been practising medicine since 1992 and has over 28 years of
experience in infertility management and IVF. She established the IVF
Department at Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital in Pune and is among India's first
board-certified specialists in Reproductive Medicine.
According to Dr.
Dighe, many couples today delay parenthood while pursuing higher education,
career growth, or financial stability. However, fertility naturally declines
with age, particularly in women after the age of 30 and more significantly
after 35. She emphasises that timely fertility evaluation and pre-conception
counselling can help couples make informed decisions and improve their chances
of a healthy pregnancy.
Dr. Dighe
further noted that remarkable advances in In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and
reproductive medicine have transformed infertility treatment over the past two
decades. Modern IVF technology has enabled successful pregnancies even in
complex cases involving PCOS, endometriosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, male
infertility, and advanced maternal age. She stressed that IVF should not be
viewed as a last resort but as a scientifically proven, safe, and highly
effective treatment when recommended at the appropriate time by experienced
fertility specialists.
Through this
awareness initiative, Xenith Advanced Fertility Centre hopes to foster open
conversations about infertility, improve reproductive health awareness, and
encourage couples to seek timely medical guidance. The centre has appealed to
couples across Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad to participate in the camp and take a
proactive step towards achieving their dream of parenthood.
