Gender Relations with IVF
At the annual meeting of the American College of Obstetricians &
Gynecologists in Chicago, researchers presented findings about ethnicity and
In Vitro Fertilization treatments. The research team took note of
ethnicities ranging from African-Americans, Asians and Hispanic women.
However, the research noted there were no differences between Asian, white and
Hispanic backgrounds with relation to success in treatments. The
investigation primarily highlighted the differences between fertility in
black and white women.
Reuters Health said, "According to the investigators' report, they found
that "compared to white women, black women were more likely to have a failed
cycle prior to embryo transfer, less likely to achieve a pregnancy, and less
likely to have a live birth."
Hopefully with more time and research physicians will be able to better
diagnose and treat such problems in fertility.
