YEREVAN. - There are approximately forty types of infertility disorders
whose twenty-two are linked to women and eighteen are connected
with men, Armenian Association for Reproductive Health Director,
gynecologist Eduard Hambardzumyan said during a press conference on
Tuesday. In his words, 50 percent of these problems have to do with
women, 40 percent with men, and 10 percent could occur in both.
Hambardzumyan informed that in recent times he comes across
more problems among the men and this, in all probability, is
also conditioned on the fact that more men in Armenia have started
consulting physicians in connection with fertility problems. According
to the gynecologist's data, around 9,000 people in Armenia need
artificial insemination. But he stressed that since a correct fiscal
policy is lacking and the entire burden is put solely upon the couples,
they are unable to help them. As a result, 70 percent of Armenia's
infertile couples have no means for being treated.
The press conference's other speaker, the aforesaid association's
deputy director, gynecologist Karine Pokhunts, added that the
reproductive functions of the majority of Armenia's present-day
infertile couples were formed during the "dark and cold" years in
the 1990s. Also, Pokhunts underscored the need for state assistance
to this domain. "It's just that the state means are directed to those
couples without fertility issues, and, instead, they are encouraging
a growth in childbirth," Karine Pokhunts added.
