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.
History of Infertility Treatment in Iran
Until the 1970s, Iranian couples went to European countries for infertility treatment. In 1989, the first infertility treatment center of Iran was established in Yazd. The first Iranian IVF baby was born on December 28, 1990. 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.

High quality of services
Iran currently has more than 70 specialized fertility centers that offer various services to infertile couples. With the use of modern technologies, well-equipped clinics, and professional physicians in the field of infertility, Iran has become one of the most potent destinations in the region and has been drawing many couples from the Middle East, and also American and European countries. Moreover, the cultural compatibility of Iran with the surrounding countries along with its low prices has made Iran a more attractive destination to the neighboring tourists.
The reasonable costs
Iran offers one of the cheapest prices for infertility treatment in the world. For instance, an IVF cycle in Iran costs about 2500$ which is far less than most of the countries. Besides the cost of treatment, you should consider the accommodation costs and other expenses, because you may need to stay in the destination country for a couple of weeks.
Since Iran is a cheap country for tourists, they will not have to spend a huge amount of money on accommodation and living expenses. In addition to reasonable prices, Iran is a very safe country to travel to. Iranian people are very friendly and hospitable who welcome tourists from all over the world.

Variety of services
In Iran, you can use the best infertility diagnosis and consult with experienced genetic experts about the best possible treatment. Due to regulated laws and religious issues, some types of infertility treatment such as surrogacy are not allowed in many countries. 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.

We get your visa, book your hotel, pick you up at the airport, manage your intra-city transfer, take you for sightseeing, stay beside you during your treatment, drop you off at the airport, and do the follow-up checks after you get home.
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”.
