tbh, I don't know if these numbers still count, because they discover so many more fertility issues every year and every year the number of women having these issues at a younger age get bigger and bigger
it's a bit of a personal interest of mine because of my medical history and actually the number of women hitting menopause in their 20s is climbing
sure, it's a genetic defect in most cases, but I doubt that it's the only issue that starts to come up this big and I am convinced that it's for many the cause of their infertility even during their 20s
the thing is, it's so taboo to talk about fertility issues, women get told that they are worth less, if they can't make a baby by just getting looked at. the whole thing is just so fucking wrong. you wouldn't believe how many women actually have to take hormones after hormones and get treatments done to have a child. and this has been going on for ages! like my parents are kinda old, my mom had me when she was 31 and I'm the oldest, but even she said that so many of her friends later on came forward and said that they had to get extensive hormone treatments, because they just couldn't conceive
I wonder why no one's truly talking about this :/
Yeah, i think the stigma is a big problem but also (don't call me a conspiracy theorist, just something that sounds logic to me) that our diet and lifestyle destroys our bodies, sitting around all day, millions of girls taking hormones to not become pregnant for the last 50 years, unhealthy food, bad air quality,.....
oh, I am convinced this has to do with it
you can see differencies in the gravity of the issues in different cultures and can trace them back to lifestyle, diet, pollution
the research on that subject is still very much vague and very little though, so it's just a preliminary hypothesis so far, but I do think it definitely has an impact, even if it's just a tiny one
I mean, you talked about PCOS before. it's still very very new to do research about this and people still don't know what causes it, but it is something linked to the metabolism. it's a bit the chicken/egg question. What is first, the PCOS that causes metabolism issues that make the fertility issues worse or does it start with the metabolism being wonky and spiral into infertility then?
(I LOVE this topic, really happy you're talking to me about this and even know stuff yourself, I feel very appreciated right now

)
I have to admit i'm not that educated on the topic, i have watched some arte documentaries that touched on the topic and did a few quick google searches because i had symptoms that would fit the diagnosis and was getting an ultrasound and hormone blood tests (they were negative so idk what is causing my issues), so i'm happy you are willing to educate people in this topic!
