Dr Kannappan berkata bahawa masalah kesuburan sebenarnya berlaku tidak kira jantina kerana statistik menunjukkan faktor lelaki dan wanita menyumbang kepada masalah kesuburan adalah sama. Dalam kalangan pasangan yang mempunyai masalah kesuburan, anggaran 40 hingga 50 peratus kes disebabkan suami, 40 peratus lagi disebabkan isteri, manakala 10 hingga 20 peratus lagi adalah kombinasi suami dan isteri.

Dr Kannappan Palaniappan, the Clinical Director of Sunway Medical Fertility Centre, sat down with InfoMed to answer some frequently asked questions about infertility and in vitro fertilisation in Malaysia. In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) is an assistive technique used to help individuals or couples become pregnant. It is a procedure that requires the removal of an egg (ovum) from the intended mother, which is then fertilised by a sperm (form the intended father) in a petri dish in a laboratory.
