Women are usually subjected to remarks and retorts about their biological clock, and at times pressurised or hastened to have children before they are biologically unable to do so. However, scientists have said that men should also face the same pressure as women to start a family while they are still young so that there are more chances of having children.
Scientists have suggested that the lack of proven fertility treatments in men means that more women are having to have sperm inserted into their eggs.
In the Human Reproduction journal, three fertility experts stated, “[Women] have suffered invasive treatment on behalf of male infertility management.”
Allan Pacey of the University of Sheffield said that men thought they could put off trying for a baby. However, their age could be a big factor in them successfully getting their partner pregnant. He said, “You are half as likely to get your partner pregnant if you are 40 or over as you are before the age of 25.”
