1. The current situation and core drivers of the rising infertility rate
National infertility rate: Clinical statistics in 2024 show that the infertility rate of couples of childbearing age has reached 18%, an increase of 50% from 10 years ago (12%).
Lifetime infertility rate: In 2020, the lifetime infertility rate for women aged 49 was 5.16%. However, among urban populations with higher education levels (above junior college), this rate reached 7.98%. It is predicted that by 2030, this rate will exceed 10%.
Regional differentiation: The three northeastern provinces have a rate of 7.1%-8.6%; Beijing at 11.92%; and Shanghai at 8.18%. These rates are significantly higher than those in rural areas, which stand at 3.72%.
① Physiological windowcompression
The fertility of women after the age of 35 is only 25% of that of 25. In 2024, the average age of first marriage for urban women will approach 30 years, and the childbearing time window will be greatly narrowed.
After the age of 35, a woman's fertility drops to only 25% of her fertility at the age of 25. By 2024, the average age of first marriage for women in cities will approach 30 years old, meaning that the window for childbearing is becoming increasingly narrow.
·Gynecologic diseases: Pelvic inflammatory disease, fallopian tube obstruction (accounting for 1/3 of the main causes of infertility), endometriosis, etc., which can easily lead to failed implantation of a fertilized egg or ectopic pregnancy.
· Gynecological diseases: Pelvic inflammatory disease, blocked fallopian tubes (account for one-third of cases of infertility), endometriosis, etc. These conditions can easily lead to failed implantation of the fertilized egg or ectopic pregnancies.
· Abortion: There is a 3-fold increased risk of infertility after one abortion. Multiple abortions can further lead to intrauterine adhesions and damage to the endometrium.
·Staying up late and stress: Long-term staying up late in the workplace causes endocrine disorders and ovulationdisorders
·Environmental pollution: Chemical pollutants damage egg quality
·Childbirth costs: Childbirth costs in first-tier cities exceed 2 million yuan, and economic pressure suppresses the willingness to have children.
· Birth costs: In first-tier cities, the cost of raising children exceeds 2 million yuan, and economic pressures discourage people from having children.
2. Scientific preparation for pregnancy: How to improve the "prone to pregnancy" physique?
,:“”?
Balanced nutrition: Increase high-quality protein (eggs, lean meat), vitamins (dark vegetables, fruits), and avoid raw, cold, and excessively spicy foods.
Balanced nutrition: Increase the intake of high-quality proteins (eggs, lean meat), vitamins (dark-colored vegetables, fruits). Avoid raw or cold foods, as well as overly spicy foods.
Regular exercise: Engage in 3-4 sessions of jogging or other aerobic activities per week. This can improve blood flow to the uterus and ovarian function.
Quit smoking and limit alcohol: Nicotine and alcohol directly damage the activity of germ cells.
Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption: Nicotine and alcohol directly damage the viability of reproductive cells.
Health protection: Avoid menstrual sex and reduce the risk of pelvic infection.
Health protection: Avoid sexual activity during menstruation to reduce the risk of pelvic infections.
Pre-pregnancy examination: Those over 35 years old or who have failed to prepare for pregnancy for 1 year need to be screened for fallopian tube patency and ovarian reserve function.
Pre-pregnancy check-ups: Those over 35 years old or those who have tried to conceive for one year without success should undergo tests to determine the patency of their fallopian tubes and the function of their ovarian reserve.
Early treatment of diseases: Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome and thyroid dysfunction require medical intervention for regulation.

3. Fertility preservation: "time insurance" for frozen eggs
Facedwith age pressure, egg freezing technology provides women with reproductive autonomy
Applicable population: professional women of the right age who have no childbearing but plan to postpone childbearing, and patients with diseases who need to preserve fertility (such as before cancer chemotherapy).
Social significance: Resolve the "countdown to fertility" anxiety, avoid compromising marriage choices due to age, and give women flexible space for life planning.
Social significance: It helps to alleviate the anxiety associated with the “countdown to childbirth”. It also prevents women from compromising their marriage choices due to concerns about age. In addition, it provides women with more flexibility in planning their lives.
Fertility protection is a health management issue throughout a woman's entire life cycle.
.From improving lifestyles and scientific pregnancy preparation to rational use of assisted reproductive technology, every step is a proactive plan for the future. No matter when you choose to have a child, the right to have health information is the true freedom to have a child.
