Rise in Fertility Treatments
An increased number of women are opting for fertility treatments. Studies
from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) have shown
namely
In Vitro Fertilization is the key inciter for such high rates of
fertility treatment.
The Press Association said, "In total, they received 46,502 cycles of
fertility treatment. The figures reveal a dramatic rise in the number of
women opting for treatment compared with the early 1990s. In 1992, just
14,057 women had fertility treatment and were aged 33 on average. Nowadays,
more than twice that number undergo treatment. Women are also now older when
having IVF, with an average age of 36 in 2007."
Not only has the IVF boom increased the rates of women undergoing fertility
treatment, but the awareness and education surrounding fertility has aided
in the growth as well. More infertile couples are aware of the treatments
available and fertility clinics are widely available and accessible all over
the US, Europe, Australia and other parts of the world.
