Infertility is often surrounded by silence and stigma. In Zambia, many couples still believe myths that delay treatment.
Myth 1: Infertility is always the woman’s fault.
Fact: Male factors contribute equally.
Myth 2: Herbal remedies guarantee pregnancy.
Fact: Only medical diagnosis and evidence-based treatments can help.
Hope:
Most causes of infertility are treatable. Couples should seek help early, with compassion and without shame.
