In this video, Claudia von Boeselager argues that fertility, infertility, perimenopause, and menopause should be taught proactively alongside basic menstrual and pregnancy‑prevention education. She emphasizes that understanding fertility is never too early, and that young people should learn what it means when conception is difficult, how many are affected, and what later life reproductive changes entail. The presenter also critiques clinicians who dismiss fertility concerns in younger patients, urging viewers to seek second opinions and gather more information when faced with such dismissals.

Chapters

people and clinicians themselves, they don't really think about infertility or fertility as something that you can talk about proactively, meaning that you don't have to wait until something happens to start thinking about the topic. You can learn about it. You can try to understand it. And it's never, it's never too early in my honest opinion. I think people should learn about this when they're learning about how their periods work and how to prevent pregnancy. They should also be talking about like, this is what happens when you're not able to get pregnant. This is how many people it affects, and this is what perimenopause and menopause is. So I think that's something that should be taught early on. If you feel like you're walking into the clinic and you're trying to learn about your fertility and you're being told like, don't worry about it, you're young, et cetera, et cetera, then just seek a second opinion and get a little bit more information.
