The era may have come in the 21st century, but it is still considered a shame to say ‘child is not happening’. Even today, there is no open talk on this, neither in the house nor in the society. However, the reality is that fertility in women is declining rapidly and there are many reasons behind it.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 18.6 million people worldwide are struggling with infertility in some form or the other. The rate of primary infertility in India also ranges from 3.9% to 16.8%. At the same time, this rate is even higher in some states like Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. On the one hand, technology has increased breeding options, but due to reasons like lifestyle and mental health, the natural fertility edge of women is being affected.
Late marriage and postponement of becoming a mother
Today’s women are giving priority to career, self -reliance and other targets of life, which is absolutely right. However, the truth is that after the age of 35, the egg quality and number of women start declining. According to Dr. Reema Sirkar, Clinical Director of Indira IVF in Dehradun, after the age of 35, the probability of pregnancy decreases by 25 %. At the same time, after the age of 40, it remains only 5-10 %.
Hormonal Disbalance and Changing Lifestyle
Polycystic ovary syndrome, thyroid, irregular periods and obesity affect the condition fertility. Today’s runaway routine, junk food, lack of sleep and stress are promoting these problems. If BMI (body mass index) is above 25 or below 19, then the possibility of delay in pregnancy increases.
Effect of stress and mental pressure
Women passing through IVF are common problems related to stress, depression and sleep. In a study, it was found that women who had more mental strengths, they experienced less stress and better mental state in the first attempt of IVF. If the first attempt fails, then stress and sadness increases.
Social expectations and loneliness
‘When will the child be?’ This question still has to face every married woman. This pressure of the society and the silence of the family makes women mentally tired. According to a study, women who got social and family support reduced the possibility of depression by 25 %.
Myths and misconceptions
Many people still believe that if one child has been done then the other will happen on its own, but secondary infertility is also a big issue. Also, thinking that infertility is only the problem of women is a very dangerous myth. Statistics show that men also have a role in 30–50% of cases.
What should women take care of?
Every woman has a different fertility journey. If this path is easy for someone, then for some, full of emotional and physical challenges. However, knowing and understanding these things in time can be beneficial.
After the age of 30, monitoring the fertility can be a sensible step.
Do not delay if the periods are irregular or have problems like thyroid, PCOS.
Basic things like healthy diet, regular sleep and stress prevention also have a big impact on the body.
Taking timely information about options like IVF or egg freezing is not a hurry, just understanding.
