Secondary infertility more common than thought, says Vietnamese source

A Vietnamese knowledge site draws attention to secondary infertility. According to the source, the phenomenon would be responsible for more than half of all cases where couples have difficulty getting pregnant. Secondary infertility occurs when someone has difficulty getting pregnant again after a previous pregnancy.

The site emphasizes that there is a so-called 'golden moment' for treatment, although it is not clear what exactly is meant by this. It seems that timely medical help could increase the chances of a successful pregnancy. Concrete figures or research data are missing in the reporting.

The topic is often overlooked, according to the source, because couples assume that a second pregnancy will follow naturally if the first one went without problems. Whether these figures also apply to the Netherlands is not known. Dutch experts advise contacting a doctor if there are repeated difficulties getting pregnant.
