YEREVAN. - Infertility rate in Armenia has become more widespread
among men and women alike, sexologist Vrezh Shahramanyan said during
a press conference on Thursday.
As per Shahramanyan, the World Health Organization states that a
country where infertility rate exceeds fifteen percent faces a very
serious disaster.
"And infertility rate in Armenia has passed fifteen percent and nears
twenty percent," the sexologist noted.
In line with studies, men and women equally share the causes for
infertility in Armenia.
"We need to uproot from the [people's] mindset the principle that
solely the women must be examined in case of infertility; they both
must be examined equally," Shahramanyan said.
According to the sexologist, infertility has become a social-medical
and nationwide problem in Armenia, and it affects the country's
demographics.
In Vrezh Shahramanyan's words, one in every four cases infertility
becomes grounds for divorce in Armenia.
Also, he underscored the need for the Armenian state to carry out
"educational activities" so that people would undergo a checkup at
least one a year and be knowledgeable on sexual matters.
