Why is the incidence rate of infertility getting higher and higher? What factors are causing it

There are many factors that lead to an increasing number of people suffering from infertility. In addition to being influenced by environmental factors, coupled with the increasing pace of life leading to sub health, as well as worrying food safety issues, these are all the causes of infertility. According to social surveys, the proportion of infertile couples in China has reached almost 10%, which means that one out of ten couples may have infertility. Therefore, infertility is very serious.

So, what is the reason why more and more people are suffering from infertility?

Firstly, the increasingly severe environmental pollution

Due to the process of industrialization, as well as the significant environmental pollution caused by the extensive use of industrial chemicals, pesticide residues, detergents, etc., the incidence of male azoospermia, azoospermia, or asthenozoospermia has increased. Female infertility is characterized by a significant increase in the number of patients with irregular menstruation, uterine fibroids, and early menopause.

Secondly, due to premature puberty and frequent abortion

Nowadays, both males and females are developing at an early age, with insufficient sex education. Many adolescents have a lower age for their first sexual intercourse, leading to a significant increase in the chances of unmarried and unintended pregnancies, as well as a significant increase in miscarriage rates. In addition, with the opening up of the mind, unmarried cohabitation has become a very normal thing. Some young people have poor self-protection awareness, and there are also many problems with accidental pregnancy. After multiple abortions, the endometrium of women becomes thinner, and women are prone to habitual miscarriage, leading to infertility in the future.

Thirdly, bad lifestyle habits

This is the era of mobile internet, and we always cannot do without the radiation of mobile phones, computers, televisions, and other electronic products. In addition, young people nowadays continue to smoke, drink day and night, and often stay up late for entertainment, which pose great harm to their health due to these unhealthy habits. Staying up late at night, waking up in the morning, skipping breakfast, and binge eating at night can cause significant damage to the liver and gastrointestinal tract. If one still indulges in playing with electronic products and lacks exercise, both physical function and disease resistance are very low. This series of bad habits will seriously affect fertility.

Fourthly, psychological pressure

Due to fierce social competition, work and life pressures are increasing, and the pace of life is becoming faster and faster. Young people are easy to suffer from anxiety and always live in anxiety. The incidence rate of mental diseases is rising. Excessive central stress in males manifests as low libido, dysfunction, and decreased reproductive ability. Excessive psychological stress in women can affect endocrine disorders, leading to ovulation disorders and menstrual irregularities.
