In recent years, medical data shows that "workplace infertility" is rapidly spreading among women of childbearing age. Statistics indicate that up to 1 in 5 working women are delaying their fertility, particularly among highly educated and high-income elite women. Whether the decision to delay is active or passive, it poses a severe challenge to women's fertility. Various factors are contributing to the increasing prevalence of infertility among working women.

 

Age is a significant factor affecting fertility. It is well known that the optimal reproductive age for women is between 23 and 30 years old. After 30, fertility begins to decline, and ovarian reserve gradually decreases. The situation worsens after 35, making it very difficult to conceive after 45. Excessive mental stress is also a notable factor. High levels of stress can lead to endocrine disorders and menstrual irregularities, further affecting the normal ovulation function of the ovaries, making pregnancy more challenging.

 

Irregular lifestyle, poor diet, and lack of exercise can also weaken fertility. Frequent overtime, staying up late, or being constantly on the go, along with irregular meal times and prolonged sedentary behavior, can negatively impact fertility. Insufficient rest, lack of nutrition, and weak physical condition can lower immunity, affect ovarian hormone secretion, and subsequently impact egg quality.

 

In addition, gynecological diseases are common causes of infertility among working women. After the age of 35, women's bodily functions begin to decline, and there is an increased incidence of ovarian dysfunction and decreased uterine quality. The aging of eggs, the occurrence of endometriosis, adenomyosis, and pelvic inflammatory disease are all major reasons why older women struggle to conceive normally. Frequent abortions can also increase the risk of infertility. Working women often choose artificial abortion when facing unplanned pregnancies, and abortion procedures can lead to issues such as cervical adhesions, fallopian tube blockage, and damage to the endometrium. With each abortion, the probability of infertility increases by about 5%.

 

To address this issue, we consulted Dr. Nathan Zhang, a national expert in assisted reproduction and founder of IVF USA, who introduced that with the increasing factors of environmental pollution, delayed reproductive age, and life pressure, the number of infertile couples continues to rise. Experts predict that China's infertility rate will climb to over 20% in the coming years. Among these infertile working women, many are forced to seek assisted reproductive technology. In recent years, the number of people traveling to the U.S. for IVF has increased, mainly because the U.S. has certain advantages in IVF treatment protocols, medication combinations, laboratory techniques, especially in frozen embryo culture technology and IVF-PGT testing technology, resulting in higher success rates and significantly reducing the incidence of repeated implantation failures.
