Why Choose Iran for Infertility Treatment?

Infertility happens in both men and women. It occurs in 10 to 15 percent of the couples who are at the reproductive ages. About 40 percent of infertility problems are due to male factors and 40 percent of them are due to female infertility factors. In 10 percent of the cases, the problem is with both sides. In the rest 10 percent of the infertile cases, the reason for infertility is unknown. It means that according to the tests, both sides have no problem but they cannot have children. In recent years, infertility treatment in Iran has gained extensive popularity among couples worldwide and made the health economy grow. Iran has succeeded to attract more medical tourists to Iran through establishing advanced fertility centers. However, many countries are offering infertility treatments to couples now. In the case of choosing Iran as a proper destination for infertility treatment, one of the most important questions is “why to choose Iran for infertility treatment?”

What is Infertility?

The term “infertility” refers to the inability of getting pregnant after one year of unprotected intercourse. However, in the cases of women over 35 or the existence of previously known problems, infertility treatment is recommended to be started after 6 months of trying. Infertility can have many causes that may or may not be treated with medical intervention. Infertility is categorized into two groups, which are primary infertility and secondary infertility. Primary infertility refers to not ever getting pregnant. This problem can happen due to congenital or acquired factors. Secondary infertility happens when a person has had at least one history of pregnancy, and infertility happened after one pregnancy or miscarry.

Today, by establishing more than 70 infertility centers, there have been great attempts regarding fertility diagnosis and treatment in the last two decades, and about 65 percent of the infertile couples have had offspring using new fertility technologies.

However, almost all types of assisted reproductive technologies are practiced in Iran including IVF, ICSI, IUI, microscopic testicular sperm extraction (TESE), IVM, egg donation, embryo donation, PCOS treatment, surrogacy, PGD/PGS, etc. Trusting TebMedTourism on your infertility treatment makes everything easier.

Religious freedom

Shia religious authorities of Iran have regulated using the assisted reproductive technologies more openly than Sunni leaders. This is because the Sunni religion has more restricted rules about the intervention of a third party in the fertility treatment process, such as egg donation and embryo donation. However, Iran’s leader who is a Shiite (Shia) Marja (religious authority), legitimized such infertility treatment procedures under certain conditions. Therefore, many couples from Sunni countries choose Iran as a Muslim base for infertility treatment. According to an article entitled “The Islamic Republic of Baby-Making”, the founder of the Fertility and Reproduction Studies Group (FRSG) and an Oxford University professor, Soraya Tremayne believes that “Iran is surging ahead using [these technologies] in all their forms, going places where the Sunni countries in the region cannot follow”.
