United States: According to recent government figures, the ratio of married American women under 50 who are infertile increased in between the years 2011 and 2019.
Based on the data concluded for the National Survey of Family Growth the experts find out that the percentage of married women ages between 15 to 49 who were infertility rate roses from 2011-2015 was 6.7percent and from 2015-2019 was 8.7 percent so ultimately it keeps on increasing and also for the infertility rates in men differs same as form the period of 2011-2015 was 11.4% and it was 12.8 percent 2015-2019.
Colleen Nugent and Anjani Chandra from the National Center for Health Statistics co-authored the paper. It was not intended to provide explanations for potential shifts in infertility rates.
Experts and Researchers together looked at the data which is based on over 21,000 interviews with the women and men ages between 15 to 49 years and infertility in the women is defined as the lack of pregnancy in the past 12 months before the survey and even having sexual intercourse in each of these months with the same partner. The term “impaired fecundity,” which the researchers defined as “physical difficulty in either getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to live birth,” was also observed in the analysis. therefore the reduced infertility in any of them may result to face challenges bringing the child to term.
According to Nugent and Chandra, overall rates of reduced fecundity were consistent between the years 2011 and 2019. In the first study, 15.5% of married women aged 15 to 44 reported having impaired fertility, whereas 16% reported the same in the second survey.
According to the survey, approximately 8.5 million American women between the ages of 15 and 44 experienced reproductive issues in 2019 though the percentage of males who reported being infertile at present who stated their infertility was caused by a vasectomy increased significantly with their age. For example, the statistics shows that the vasectomy rate in this cohort was 0.3% for men ages 15 to 24, but 40.5% for those aged 45 to 49. The results were published in a National Health Statistics Report on April 24 online.
The researchers emphasized that for many of individuals polled, not being able to have children was not always a medical worry, there could be many reasons as well.
“An individual or couple can remain infertile or fulfil the definition for impaired fecundity for years after they have stopped trying to have a child or they may not wish to have a child at all,” said Chandra and Nugent.
“There is a wide range of responses to fertility problems that may not involve medical services to have a baby.”
