Infertility affects 27.5 million couples in India—yet so much about it is misunderstood, stigmatized, or simply not talked about.
In this eye-opening episode of The Masoom Minawala Show, Dr. Nandita Palshetkar, one of India’s leading gynecologists specializing in infertility and IVF, demystifies everything about conception, fertility struggles, and the societal pressures surrounding motherhood.
She breaks down infertility—what it really is, why it affects men and women equally, and how it’s more common than we think. Dr. Nandita addresses crucial topics, including the stigma that labels women as ‘baanjh’, the process of getting pregnant, and how science has advanced in treating fertility challenges.
We dive into the realities of IVF, the myths about its impact on a woman’s body, and the mental and emotional toll infertility takes on couples. Dr. Nandita also reveals:
• The ideal age to get pregnant (backed by science!)
• The difference between IVF and egg freezing
• How fertile periods actually work and how to track them
• The biggest misconceptions about infertility
• How lifestyle, smoking, stress, and pollution affect fertility
This episode is a must-watch for anyone curious about pregnancy, struggling with infertility, or simply looking to understand the science behind conception better.
