For the first time in history, Singapore's total fertility rate (TFR) has dipped below 1.0, reaching 0.97 in 2023—a decline from the previous records of 1.04 in 2022 and 1.12 in 2021. Besides Singapore, we also see countries like Japan, Thailand, Macau, and China reporting declining fertility and birth rates. In response to the urgent challenge of declining fertility and birth rates, Thomson Medical Group unites global leading fertility experts to discuss the complexities and opportunities within reproductive medicine. Join us at the upcoming Thomson Fertility Conference on 11 May to explore advancements in male and female infertility, ART techniques, reproductive endocrinology, and the promotion of equitable access to fertility care. Whether you're involved in groundbreaking research or leading patient care efforts, this conference offers a platform for medical professionals like you to gain unique insights from global fertility experts. Registration for this conference closes on 8 May 2024.

As educational attainment rises and professional opportunities expand across Southeast Asia, more couples are making the decision to delay starting families or to have fewer children. This shift reflects a significant cultural transformation, leading to declining birth and fertility rates throughout the region. In Malaysia, the evidence of change over the past fifty years is profound. The fertility rate has plummeted from an average of 4.9 children per woman in 1970 to just 1.6 in 2023. Similarly, in Vietnam, the birth rate has declined to 15.141 births per 1,000 people in 2023, marking a 2.33% decrease from the previous year. Singapore's scenario also highlights this regional trend. Despite government incentives aimed at boosting fertility, the fertility rate in this highly educated city-state remains stubbornly low, around 1.1 in recent years, well below the replacement level of 2.1 that is needed to sustain the population. This evolving dynamic speaks to a broader narrative of choice and planning, reflecting how couples are reshaping their futures and family structures in today’s changing world. Join us as Thomson Medical Group gathers global fertility experts at the upcoming Thomson Fertility Conference on 11 May. Together, we are spearheading discussions on advancements in reproductive medicine to confront pressing challenges in the field. From exploring The Role of Reproductive Surgery in the Era of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) to Updates on In Vitro Maturation (IVM), gain insights from unique Southeast Asian perspectives presented by esteemed global fertility experts.   Registration for this conference closes on 8 May 2024.

Reproductive endocrinology is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on hormonal functioning in relation to reproduction and fertility. It encompasses the diagnosis and management of conditions such as infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and hormonal imbalances affecting reproductive health. In the dynamic landscape of reproductive health, reproductive endocrinology stands as a beacon of hope and innovation for individuals and couples aspiring to build families. With advancements in technology and a deeper understanding of human physiology, the realm of reproductive endocrinology continues to evolve rapidly, offering new insights, treatments, and possibilities. This is why our team at OC Fertility is dedicated to regularly educating ourselves in reproductive endocrinology. We know that it’s vital for our patient's best interest to continue being progressive as a clinic and always thinking ahead to the future in reproductive medicine. We actively participate in training, seminars, and other educational activities throughout the year to continue learning and further our knowledge about reproductive endocrinology.

* CLINICAL TRIAL RECRUITING NOW * MALE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED !!! PLEASE SHARE Intermittent fasting is an emerging field with a growing range of health benefits including weight loss, better blood sugar regulation, improved hormone levels and a healthier gut. As time restricted eating (TRE) has a positive effect on many parts of the body, including female reproductive systems, there is potential that it could influence sperm production, however, this has not yet been investigated. This trial involves intermittent fasting for a period of 3 months and assessing sperm quality before and after to look for any changes. We would provide two free of charge semen analysis, plus MiOXSYS testing for seminal oxidative stress which would usually cost more than £500. https://lnkd.in/eTJBpqp8 Find out more from BCRM Fertility TRIAL LEAD SCIENTIST and SENIOR EMBRYOLOGIST JEN NISBETT by emailing research@bcrm.clinic or take a look at our website blog and information leaflet https://lnkd.in/e9a6KW4d #maleinfertility #researchanddevelopment #research #malefertility #menshealthawareness #timerestrictedeating #project #volunteersneeded #SpermHealth #spermtesting

Recurrent implantation failure after transferring euploid embryos while affecting less than 5% of individuals undergoing fertility treatments, is a particularly challenging condition for clinicians to manage. This is why search for solutions to recurrent implantation failure is a key focus of our work at #IVIRMAGlobal. 🌿 Through artificial intelligence and transcriptomic analysis, we have developed algorithms capable of identifying risk profiles preventively, thereby improving the prognosis of our treatments. With these advances, we are steadily moving closer to precision reproductive medicine, enabling us to personalize treatments from the very first attempt. 🔬 #ImplantationFailure #Research #IVIRMAGlobal #ReproductiveMedicine #Fertility #Innovation
