The dark side of IT outsourcing in Bangalore - IT women suffer infertility due to sexual dysfunction

Media Release
Dec 10, 2006

The IT lifestyle has wreaked havoc in Bangalore’s bedrooms. A large number of IT women engage in sex only once in 120-180 days as against alternate days among normal couples. The result: Many of them are suffering from infertility due to sexual dysfunction.

Doctors say that this is common due to psychological implications and hormonal imbalances, which are interrelated, leading to anovulation. Long and irregular hours of work and intake of fast food have led to the change in lifestyle. The other most common factor is non-consummated marriages, leading to absence of sexual activity among IT professionals.

On an average, 20-25 infertility cases are reported in a week across various sexologist clinics in the city. Gynaecologists are of the view that since most of the cases are due to the hectic lifestyle, women can conceive, if they get back to their normal stable lifestyle. But, because these women approach sexologists after 5-10 years, chances are bleak.

Consultant gynaecologist and sexologist Dr Padmini Prasad gets at least 10-15 cases of infertile women on the weekends, and about 5-10 cases on weekdays.

“The long hours of work are intervening normal sexual activities among these professionals. In women, infrequent menstruation and ovulation disturbances are increasing,” she said.
