In recent years, with the development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, there has been an increasing concern about fertility issues. Especially for families who already have one child, the desire for a second child is particularly strong. However, some families are faced with the challenge of secondary infertility, which is an issue that causes great anxiety.

Take Mr. and Mrs. Xiaomeng for example. They already have a lovely 3-year-old son and are eager to expand their family by having a second child. However, despite trying for a year and a half, they have been unable to conceive, leaving Mrs. Xiaomeng feeling anxious and unsettled. Particularly when she recalls the smooth experience of conceiving her son, the difficulty of conceiving a second child seems even more unbelievable.

Doctors informed Mrs. Xiaomeng that her infertility is due to secondary infertility. Secondary infertility refers to the situation where a couple has already had a child but encounters difficulty conceiving again. Statistics show that approximately 11% of couples struggle with secondary infertility. There are many reasons for this situation, including factors from both the male and female sides.

To address this issue, we consulted Dr. Nathan Zhang, a leading expert in the field of assisted reproduction, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and the founder of IVF USA. He emphasized that for women, age is a significant factor. As women age, their fertility gradually declines, and the quality of their eggs decreases, making conception more difficult. Additionally, issues such as blocked fallopian tubes, endometriosis, hormone imbalances, and changes in lifestyle can all affect egg quality and fertility.

For men, age is also a factor to consider. Older men may produce lower-quality sperm, which can affect fertility rates.

In the face of the challenges of secondary infertility, we recommend that couples undergo comprehensive fertility testing together to identify potential issues. If a woman is over 35 years old and has been actively trying to conceive for over a year without success, seeking professional help promptly is advised.

For women who are older or have experienced multiple miscarriages, in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be an option. Particularly for women over 40, considering the decline in ovarian function, it is recommended to seek treatment at medical institutions with advanced technology and clinical experience for IVF. The advancement of IVF technology, especially IVF-PGT, offers hope to many couples struggling with infertility.
