Many couples now wait up to two years before having a child


KUALA LUMPUR: Although Malaysia does not have official statistics on its infertility rates, there has been an obvious increase in the number of couples who are unable to have children despite being married for several years.

Gynaecologist Dr Azirawaty Mohd Tadzri, who is a partner at a private clinic in Ampang, Selangor, said while in the past women had the tendency to become pregnant within three months of marriage, nowadays it took them more than a year or two to conceive although they were physically normal and had healthy wombs and eggs.
