was way below what I feel it should be. People were not being educated. They were not being given options. And even when they did treatments, they weren't being given explanations for what was wrong. So there was this just overwhelming hunger from patients just to get human care, right? Like one-on-one, tell me what's wrong. Tell me why I didn't do well.
All right, guys, Dr. Rahi Victory here today. We're going to talk infertility, a growing crisis. Thanks for coming on, man. Thanks for having me. Yeah, based off the stats you just shared with me, we really need to talk about this now. For sure, yeah, infertility is rapidly growing. Yeah, so by 2050, you said 50% of countries won't be able to meet up with...
Their replacement rate for the population. Yeah, that's correct. And by 2100, they estimate 97% if we're on the same trajectory. So it's a very growing concern and it's going to have a real social, environmental, health impact, economic impact, really like a massive tidal wave of a problem.
This is going to impact us, our kids, our grandkids. For sure. Scary stuff. Yeah. And it seems like it's just a lot of contributing factors, not just one thing, right?
Yeah, there are many. I mean, there's age, there's the environment, there's all the exposures. There's other problems with diseases that are growing, endometriosis. Men's health is rapidly declining. We have a huge decrease in sperm performance. So all these things are contributing together and it's really becoming a problem. How much does the men's health impact the health of the baby? Yeah.
Huge, huge. So the quality of the sperm can impact everything from the health of the baby to miscarriage rates. There's a test we do called sperm DNA fragmentation testing. That test measures the amount of damage to the DNA in the sperm. And for the guys that have a high amount of damage, it's up to a 12-fold increase. So 1,200% increase in the risk of having a miscarriage. Holy crap.
Yeah, placentas, things like preeclampsia, the health of the baby later on, all of those are very significantly impacted by men's health. A great example that I use on a lot of my patients is if they're smoking, we need to get them to quit smoking. And it's hard for a lot of guys.
So one thing I'll frequently tell them is your baby has a higher chance of having heart disease and cancer, even if it's only the dad that is smoking at the time the baby's made. That's scary. Yeah, because you're imprinting that stuff into the epigenetics of the sperm DNA.
Yeah, this is all new to me because when I was growing up, I always thought it was the woman's health that mattered. I never knew it was both. 50-50. So it's 50-50. Oh, yeah. Wow, that's crazy because I know a few women that have had kids with different fathers. Sure. And some of them have had much harder pregnancies.
