A reality affecting many couples
In industrialized countries, the rate of couples experiencing fertility problems has remained stable for several decades. However, the number of couples seeking medical assistance for this problem has increased. As one third of cases are female infertility and another third male infertility, it is important for both partners to consult a fertility specialist if they are having difficulty conceiving.

When a couple experiences difficulty conceiving for more than three years without treatment, the chances of spontaneous conception are 0% to 3% per month, depending on the causes of infertility.

I’m a young man studying in the field of health and sexuality. Passionate and committed, I am known for my dedication to my studies and my desire to make a significant contribution to society.
I am particularly interested in issues of consent and prevention in the field of sexual health, a subject that I feel is crucially important and often neglected. Those who know me well describe me as an empathetic person with an incredible ability to understand and support people in need.
I strive to demystify preconceived ideas about sexuality and improve attitudes and perceptions around sexual health. I’m a passionate advocate of the importance of sex education and consent education in universities, recognising the major transition students are going through in terms of their love and sex lives during their studies.
With a keen eye on society, I am particularly concerned about the problems of forced or unwanted sexuality among students, which I find unacceptable. I plan to devote my career to changing these disturbing statistics, by creating training and intervention programmes to improve knowledge, attitudes and behaviour relating to sexuality among young people.
My ultimate goal is to create an environment where every individual has the power to make informed choices about their sexual health, and where respect and consent are the norm. Overall, I am a character who represents commitment, compassion and the desire to make a difference in the world.
