I'm really worried because my wife recently went through an IVF procedure at a fertility center in Chennai after we tried the IUI process 9 times due to my low sperm count but had no success. I've heard that IVF can sometimes fail, and I'm concerned about whether going through this process multiple times could affect my wife's health. Can you help me understand why IVF might not work and if repeated attempts could cause health issues for her?

failure will be there in IVF as they don't literally inject sperm in to egg , and every procedure will have its own risk , but you need to seek the the reason behind last failure

I had inguinal hernia surgery 28 days ago, but for the past 3 days, I've been having pain in my thyroid area. Could this be related to the surgery or is it something else? Wondering why this is happening now.

It's unlikely that thyroid pain is directly related to an inguinal hernia surgery, especially occurring three weeks after the procedure. While some pain can be expected after surgery, thyroid pain is not a typical symptom. It's possible this could be a separate issue, and it's best to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and guidance.

What if I stop eating sugar?

Eliminating sugar could directly affect your physical health, too. Never eating any form of sugar could result in nutrient deficiency, since many nutritious foods have naturally-occurring sugars. If you eliminated fruit, for example, you'd be missing out on many essential nutrients.
