<p>A whopping 51 per cent of women have ongoing health issues, according to GOQii, a smart-tech-enabled healthcare platform that brings together the entire preventive healthcare ecosystem.</p>.<p>The GOQii Women’s Health Survey 22-23 titled <em>Live Well and Stay Healthy: Lifestyle is a Powerful Medicine</em> indicates that while difficulties with menstruation, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hypothyroidism, UTI and fibroids are prevalent despite a greater focus on women’s health, infertility due to age-related issues has been increasing among Indian women too.</p>.<p>The survey observed that 21.7 per cent of women agreed that their advanced age was indeed a factor for infertility issues. In India, the childbearing age of women has been steadily increasing over the past decade. This can be clearly attributed to factors such as the increasing number of women in the workforce, rising levels of education, improved access to contraception and changing social norms. </p>.<p><strong>Read | <a href="https://www.deccanherald.com/business/24-of-indians-are-struggling-with-stress-report-1197723.html" target="_blank">24% of Indians are struggling with stress: Report</a></strong></p>.<p>With the rising age of childbearing, infertility has become an increasingly common problem in India.
