In an expert feature published by Hiya (Hiamag.com), Dr. Ritu Anand, Infertility Specialist at Orchid Fertility Center in Dubai Healthcare City, addresses why women today experience different conception outcomes after age 35 compared to previous generations. While career growth and financial independence have shifted family planning timelines, human reproductive biology remains unchanged, with egg count and quality declining naturally over time.
Dr. Anand notes that modern lifestyle changes – including sedentary habits, chronic stress, processed diets, and rising metabolic conditions like obesity, insulin resistance, and PCOS – further affect hormonal balance. Additionally, male factor infertility, driven by declining global sperm counts, plays a critical role in nearly half of all pregnancy delays.
For couples in the GCC, advanced reproductive technology offers tailored solutions. IVF treatments combined with Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A screening) can help identify embryos without detected chromosomal abnormalities, and may provide information about embryo chromosome status that can help inform treatment decisions.
