With Qatar being a pronatalist society, it has been essential to determine the cause of infertility in the country. While a study by Zauner and Girardi has identified several factors that include metabolic diseases, consanguinity, lifestyle, cultural, religious and environmental factors, the doctors and embryologists, based on experience and expertise, at the main and leading Reproductive Medicine Department in the country (DoRM) observed several other factors that result in infertility. Those factors include age, obesity, diabetes, vitamin deficiency and consanguinity. Furthermore, educational, and preventative efforts have been recommended to mitigate the effects of these challenges and to meet the country’s pronatalist goals.
