More than 8 million Vietnamese, or 7 to 10 percent of the country’s population, are suffering from infertility, said a report released by Ho Chi Minh City-based Tu Du Women’s Hospital.
According to the report, which was presented by Dr. Hoang Thi Diem Tuyet, Vice Director of Tu Du, at a conference on male infertility at Binh Dan Hospital on Saturday, for the past several years, Tu Du has treated and consulted more than 300,000 infertile cases every year.
Of these, 40 percent are caused by husbands, 30 percent by wives, and the remaining 30 percent by unknown reasons, said Dr. Mai Ba Tien Dung, deputy head of Binh Dan’s Male Diseases Department, citing World Heath Organization statistics.
Dr. Dung said that to treat infertility, both husbands and wives must thus be examined.
