Abstract:

For generations we have taught teenagers how to avoid getting pregnant or catching STDs. We have informed them that they should always plan pregnancy, which actually still means postponing and avoiding, so in essence not really planning. Times have changed. Today women are trying to have a baby too late and know too little about their own reproductive health. The same applies to men. in-fertility network collected significant date from over 3,000 teenagers about what they know about their fertility. The results were not published yet, and Obstetrics and Gynecology Congress would be the first place to publish them. There are other interesting first-time results to be published about online education in gynecology. We have asked hundreds of women trying to conceive and facing problems what type of information they were looking for online and what - in return - they are finding. The gap is enormous, and experts should face and change it. Why do we mix fertility with infertility, tests with treatments and why there are ineffective add-ons, when those, who need treatment face rejection by insurance. The situation is, quite interestingly, similar in almost all developed countries and goes hand in hand with decrease of natality. What are the factors influencing our knowledge and what do women expect from modern obstetrics and gynecology? infertility know the answers.
