Hassan Sallam: Awareness of Delayed Conception Helps Protect Families

Dr. Hassan Sallam, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Alexandria University, said awareness of delayed conception helps protect families.

Sallam said that not becoming pregnant during the first year does not, in itself, indicate a problem. His remarks offered reassurance to couples concerned about a delay in conception.

He spoke on the sidelines of an international conference on delayed conception and in vitro fertilization in Alexandria.

His comments highlighted the importance of understanding the time it can take to conceive, rather than treating a delay in the first year as an immediate cause for concern.
