Not entirely connected to birthrate.This is true, but in this context, fertility refers to birthrate, and while these issues are certainly contributing, I think there are socioeconomic factors playing a role here, because the effect is not universal. For example, low IQ people on average tend to have more children than high IQ people which, to me, signals an economic effect (foresight, better ability to plan for unexpected developments) rather than the aggregate effect of chemical imbalance.
Menstrual cycles are a vital sign in a woman. If you are experiencing anovulation (lack of eggs being released) you are at risk of what I listed.
Hormonal Birth control, while literally cringe, can lower one type of cancer, I believe ovarian cancer. Although it slightly raises the risk of cervical cancer. (Also raises the risk of stroke!)
Now the patriarchy shows it’s face most blatantly in the medical field.
We should make a point to avoid male doctors, especially brown ones, and heavily scrutinize our female doctors to make sure they aren’t just puppets of male doctors. They push so much garbage onto us it’s ridiculous. Then ignore us when there’s a literal emergency.
Female doctors who do this are barely women in my opinion.
