Fertility: Don't Let Age Dictate Your Timeline
9 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Fertility is connected to age, but women shouldn't feel pressured by this.
- Dr. Nozer advocates for women having children when they desire.
- Unlike other cells, a woman's eggs retain her biological age.
Dr. Nozer Sheriar, a leading expert in women's health, recently discussed fertility with actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu, stressing that age should not dictate a woman's timeline for having children. He asserted that societal and scientific support should empower women to conceive when they feel ready.
Dr. Sheriar highlighted a unique biological aspect: a woman's eggs are the only cells that retain her biological age, while other body cells regenerate. This perspective challenges common assumptions about aging and reproductive capabilities.
The conversation also extended to male fertility, with Dr. Sheriar pointing out a global decline in sperm counts. He cautioned that lifestyle choices significantly impact male fertility, urging a broader consideration beyond purely medical factors.
