The Severity of Infertility in Korean Society… Need for Reproductive Health Management and Awareness Improvement
Recently, the proportion of older mothers aged 35 and over in Korean society has increased to 37.3%, leading to heightened interest in reproductive health. Over the past decade, the infertile population has also surged by 66.7%, leaving many couples struggling through the process of pregnancy and childbirth.
In line with these changes, related organizations including Organon Korea are actively operating educational programs for infertility prevention and fertility preservation. They emphasize that reproductive health is an important factor that must be managed at a social level, rather than being merely an individual issue.
The core of this education is to provide accurate information on reproductive health and to help individuals manage their health at an early stage. Experts advise that in order to preserve fertility, it is important to accurately understand one's own health status and seek professional help when necessary.
In conclusion, the increase in the infertile population is one of the significant challenges facing our society. If awareness of reproductive health is improved and a systematic management environment is established in the future, it is expected to be of great help to many couples preparing for a healthy pregnancy and childbirth.
